Digger 'boom' Haul

Ok fellas. I just completed the trailer to the 142H tractor unit I had built for the Steel Haul that I was supposed to use but did not. The boom is from a toy digger I bought at a cheap store. I had planned on using it as a load for my heavy hauler rig, but the amount of work I had to do on it to get it looking right, would have taken me ages. So I opted to salvage what I could and use the parts for something useful. So now I had a use for the boom. :) I added hydraulics using soldering iron wiring and styrene tubing. I wanted it to look alive. The trailer is the Italeri curtain trailer kit. I only used the chassi and bottom half of it. I then scratch built the extra floor and added tie-downs.

So now this tractor has a trailer, I think, goes together pretty well. Hope you like the results. Thanks for looking. The chains will either be replaced or thicker ones added. I thonk the present ones are little flimsy. Lots of detail pics:

That is some masterful work- cheers! Great finish, and always a fun subject. Dirty is the best!
 
I finally figured out how you do those displays. You have a shrink ray and you shrink a full sized truck down to 25th scale

I have lived here for about 20 years but was not born here. That's why I asked. There's still certain words or phrases I have not heard before. :v
