  1. It's coming along nicely! Any updates on the chassis? (pics tongue.gif)

    Not at the moment,the parts i was expecting never turned up :( Replacements are on the way tho! :)

    Hey this looks awesome, very skilled smile.gif

    Thanks very much. :)

    Abit more of an update,

    Well i seem to have caught the OCD bug that is circulating the forums.:)

    The first cage just didn't look right,so a couple of hours of measuring,cutting, bending and soldering,and we have the new rollcage.:D

    Oh don't pay too much attention to the 'new' paint,i was kinda thinking out loud with paint. lol

    It still needs some of the joins tidying,and then i can paint it.:D

    Comments/suggestions welcomed.

  2. I made a rollcage(purely show not functional) and have added the drivers seat and made another steering wheel.

    It still needs tidying a bit and the front cross brace adding at the top of the windscreen,before getting a dusting of flat black.

    Questions and comments/suggestions welcome. :)

  3. This is gunna be great smile.gif

    Thanks,i hope so :)

    I really admire people who can make things out of that plastic. I am hopeless. confused.gif

    This is the first time i have clicked with it myself,always ended horribly before.If the chassis parts were all here,i dont think i'd have done this much interior work.:)

    looking good, how about a row of lights in the roof with smileys on them

    I'm not sure if smileys will suit it,as it isnt staying blue.:D i need to get some more clear red,then i'm gonna be giving it a custom paintscheme too.

    Thanks for all the comments.:) They help to keep me going.

    I will combine postage on multiple items.

    Payment via Paypal(gift) or cheque/PO

  5. I did pick up a couple of pieces of tube from the lhs,but even the smallest i bought is too big for a roll cage. sad.gif

    But remember the faux shocks from a few posts back? I did two types to see which look best.

    DSC02334.jpg

    Started sticking some styrene together and came up with this.

    DSC02344.jpg

    Yup,it's the start of the interior for this truck,i'll be adding the full cage next. biggrin.gif

    I did some more interior work tonight,i did make a steering wheel too,but i busted it while shaping it. ohmy.gif

    I have the cab front firewall cut now,but not fitted yet and the steering column in and dials made.

  6. I recently got this truck body in with a deal,and was going to make a mudder truck with an evo truck chassis.

    DSC02208.jpg

    But after this mockup,my mind was made up!

    DSC02211.jpg

    The body came without a grill or tailgate,so i decided to have a go at making them.I made a start on the grill,it still needs some tidying,before i build it up to form the grill and light surrounds.

    DSC02217.jpg

    DSC02216.jpg

    It fits pretty well too. :)

    DSC02212.jpg

    i finished the surround on the grill. I will put the centre piece and the emblem on tomorrow.

    DSC02221.jpg

    added the centre part and the emblem to the grill.I will fill some small gaps tonight then sand and shape some more.

    DSC02230.jpg

    i have made the bumpers too,needs filling and more sanding but the basic shape is there.

    DSC02250.jpg

    DSC02247.jpg

    DSC02249.jpg

    The bumpers were a little too large for the truck,so i reduced them a bit.

    still think the front needs to lose another mm.The more re-filling, re-shaping and re-sanding :duh:

    DSC02260.jpg

    DSC02262.jpg

    DSC02263.jpg

    The front bumper was about 1.5mm taller than the rear one,tho not any more :)

    DSC02266.jpg

    DSC02267.jpg

    And that's pretty much where i am atm,i'm waiting for another truck front end to arrive to complete this.

    It will be using a micro esc,and hobby servo's for steering too.

    Small update,i have the wheels converted now :) I took the wheel centres on the monster wheels out to 6.5mm too,i can now fit the atomic socket in there. :)

    DSC02312.jpg

    And have two front ends with lift kits fitted,tho i need the bushings that fit the red gear,and two of the g box casings that are missing here. :(

    DSC02313.jpg

    It's also a good job i received another chassis with the front end,as it appears i'm too dumb to use a measure properly and cut the original chassis' too short :o .

    All fixed now tho,and another mockup, just chassis this time. :)
