My latest kitbash: 130 ft long 13 axle heavy hauler. It's even too long for my photo stage road.
Problem is the trailers only come with a two axle jeep, two axle stinger and the deck is too short. Two of the new Diecast Masters lowboy with jeep and stinger required to cut up. I substituted a Sword triaxle Kenworth for the tandem axle International which I used elsewhere.
One trailer sacrificed a 10 ft section to add to the middle, just like the real ones. The single axle stingers that also come with the models were also sacrificed - one for the suspension and wheels to make the three axle jeep, the other frame cut up to make the three axle stinger. I did manage to salvage the second now much shorter trailer to handle a Cat crawler loader.
The last two pictures are the inspiration. From when the museum I belong to moved two 80 ton engines 2 years ago. We had to take the trucks out and get the body's down to a manageable 112,000 lbs.
Both the real move and the model with load came in at 15-6 high.
As a trivia question, whats wrong with the first picture, clue it's not the truck.
