i had no plans when i started. what i did was focus on one piece at a time . i believe if the real one was made , a scaled one can be.

[JTS CUSTOMS]

i have a scale for things like this.

it begins at 0- being awful and it ends at 10- being epic

this thing was registering at least 20 by the end of page 1. i'd tell you what it is now but my counter broke halfway through page 2

hey evrybody,   really sorry about leave of absense here.

i had huge mishap with the firetruck, i was installing the electronic for the boom and the electronic compartment started to have a serious melt down.  bottom line was i loss i all of it .  very expensive  booboo. it wiped out most of the lights too.   sooooo i had to tare it down and basically start over .    so while i have it apart i will do some upgrades, ive paint chassis, change the tires and rims, upgraded the servos ,added anothe axle etc.   ive also went from a 6x6x4 to and 8x8x6. 

what was taking so long that i really had to get over the melt down. im sure we have all been there one time or another.   so enough of this and let get started

 

[JTS CUSTOMS]

i started on the basic compartment , will add 2x doors ,

[JTS CUSTOMS]

next i started on the lid,marked it out,drilled all the holes for rivots and post,also put it in primer

[jonnotheone]

Ahhh mate that truck is ruddy brill i only wish i had half ya tallent...

[JTS CUSTOMS]

the basic box is all done , ready for paint next

[JTS CUSTOMS]

added some color and clear,added the doors and started on the micro screws

[JTS CUSTOMS]

this sucks, i ran out of micro screws, i need about 50 more

[JTS CUSTOMS]

so when it came to the lights on the rear engione compartment , i was right , they all were burnt. soooooooooooooo, time to break out some new ones . i have rc4wds bruiser light kit here, perfect for what i need for running lights. i use 2 sets, 4 reds and 4 yellow, did some splicing. plugs right into the receiver , later i will add and on/off swith, the bumper lights are fine. ive also added a back up light top center
