Tamiya 1/14 scale trucks

[paul2304]

what is the realistic cost of building one of these without goin silly ?

got a lot of time on my hands and i think one or two of these would fill the void

been looking around and really fancy the R620 or the new MAN

You can spend thousands on these easily Paul. Some of the trailers are over

OR you can have a bit of fun... buy a nice lorry and work out what you would need to build a trailer, then you can build it to any desired size and material.

for example if i was to get into scale trucks (which although i am tempted i would never be able to run one round where i live) i would buy

and do it in Optimus Prime colours

i would then buy what was needed to make a aluminium trailer aswell as a cheap mini fridge and have a go at making my own refrigerated trailer, that way when on display in my room i could plug it in and use it as a mini fridge and then just unplug it when i want to use it ... thats if the fridge worked

all in that should not cost over £500 including electronics (sound sucks)
