you all know this is a recap so fast forward a bit: I had a initial list of requirements for this build, one of them is to have a canvas closed bed like this: Unfortunately,the bed I've made couldn't be used because the thin metal made impossible to add the canvas hooks and be strong, so started a new bed,but 3D printed: Same method for the floor: Actually, I prefer this colour: 3D printed fenders: Found a quick method to bend all hooks in steel wire,which are press fit with CA glue in pre-made holes . There's also the printed fake hinges

neat piece of kit. Would love to have one of these but there's no tracks here

Times are hard 🙂 . Saw a padlock on a real one and had to make one too

2 details that complete the look: First, a bit of cheating with a spare rim that looks like the other ones but very narrow. Mounts on a welded mount with 3 screws(not pictured) And the fuel tank:

bodyposts facing backwards are a thing now?

The guys who did my 3D prints proposed to model and print a fake Unimog engine Air compressor: Injector lines Coolant tank (half full 🙂 )

Bed mounted to chassis and working This space between the rails will house the battery and eletronics Fun time!

Thanks!

Needed something to close bedsides and tailgate Decided on a system close to real trucks. First, 4 of these pins And then, the other ones Foldable steps: Bishop aproves! Color test:

My buddy Gabriel took this one of my JK

pretty big

The bed: The first iteration of the bed was done mostly in Balsa wood, seemed a good idea at the time 🙂 It was pretty light but couldn't stand the abuse So, did a new one,30mm wider to improve over the last one The bed floor is a 2mm PVC sheet over a wood frame And this is a bedside. Is a wood frame to hold a hand bent 0.17mm aluminium sheet to mimic stamped metal. I bent this using 2 wood boards and pliers Primer: For the floor,tried to mimic wood planks held by nails(rivets?) After scribing the lines and put the small nails, sprayed black lightly to sand after. The wood grain texture was achieved by using an hard wire brush before applying the brown Bedsides with hinges(still with temporary screws) The extra width allows the bedsides to open as they should First chassis test:

Portal are great for ground clearance and mine gave 15mm extra but the chassis was planned for straight axles so everything raised 15mm and looked like a monster truck. Shorter shocks weren't a solution because they can't solve the axles hitting the rails. So, designed a new chassis, looking more like the 1:1 With the plans in hand, 10m of work: I've used 16mm square tubing, looked so big but the scaled blueprints revealed that they should be 17mm tall so it will work This is the tried and true method of shaping a square tube and get 2 equal halves Already had a RC4WD 2sp Helios transfer case but never used it because it was big. The Unimog had the space available so made a skidplate to fit Quick mock-up Rear shock mounts are like this on the 1:1 This is my take on this. Switch the positions to fit my axle How it looked with the new 60mm shocks

Hi, This is a project I'm doing since 2014, in several iterations,as my skills progressed . The build is so old that the initial build pics were lost when PhotoBucket and TinyPic went down. Basically, it is a full custom truck with my very first scratchbuilt cab! After some months, started to think in adding portal boxes to the axles(remember that there was a time before portals were mainstream...). First, machined a prototype in metal to approve the concept and realized that couldn't do all this parts without a CNC. I was aiming for the "casted steel" look and decided to 3D print. First prototype came like this: (Note: my first child was born the day after ...) Improved version on a scx10 axle with custom spherical ends to resemble the 1:1 but also because the portal boxes added 18mm to the width and these ends(and custom shafts) reduced 20mm Prototype of the rear ones: They looked great on SSD D60 housings

Obrigado! fico feliz por ter gostado do carro e do video . Apesar de não termos Unimog 6x6, fiz o camião a pensar nos do nosso Exército Out of respect and because we are in British forum, above, I've thanked Rios e said that,even without 6x6 Unimog, I did mine thinking on the ones on our army

work in progress

Thanks! I can do a build thread because there's many hidden things but don't know what if is "normal" in this forum

Thanks! Thanks! This truck is fully scratchbuilt. Aside from electronics and wheels/tires, made everything myself down to the axles with torquetubes

This is a short clip of my Unimog right after making the replica drivetrain

Hi! Anyone can help with the dimensions of the 124019 body?
