Wooden MAN TGA tipper 1:14
Posted by PrimozH on Saturday, June 4, 2011 2:58 PM

Hi everyone,

few months ago I have finished my latest project: model of MAN TGA with Meiller Kipper tipper.

The model is complete scratchbuilt. I made the plans by myself, with the help of computer. Pieces were cut and put together completely manually (without CNC machines). Model is made mainly from wood (beech, birch, maple wood, walnut). Complete number of all pieces is about 970. Measure of the model is 1:14, final dimensions are cca. 530x200x230 mm. The model has fully suspension with steel springs, steering with wooden cardan shaft, three way tipper and many other details. The model took me three years to build it (one year for constructing and drawing, two years for building it). Below you can see some of the pictures:

 

Now it is time for a new chalenge. My head is already full of ideas, I just need to decide. Probably it will be something a little bit easier, just for relaxation Big Smile


Bye from Slovenia,
Primoz

There are contests and shows that feature wooden works of art.

Enter the dump truck & see how you do, I think very well looking at the detail & accuracy from your photographs.

that's crazy beautiful work.interesting that you were able to make the parts move, even. it's more art than hobby.

how would you put a price on that, with 3 years working on it?

There's no fun if the parts don't move Big Smile

What would be the price? Definitely not small. For me it's nearly priceless. How much would you offer? Wink
