semijoe Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 last few weeks ive been putting together some ideas on my next build im pretty sure i have most of it figured out how to do only difference between what im going to is that will have aworking water cannon on top the cab. other then that i think i can pretty much come close to it. the truck will be full functional i have the scale at 1/11.5 rails are 843mm long this will have full detailed interior opening doors sounds lights etc i know its a little early to show you guys, because i really cant start for awhile. but i can do alittle here and there .once i get the t3000 done ,then i can go full throttle on it in the mean time , ive ordered parts for the chassis,tire, rims and axles heres a picture of the 1:1. i will paint it the same scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semijoe Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 ive started on the rails. have to say im going to be working on the rails for awhile as there a huge amount of work that needs to be done with them. i have a couple of pictures showing some of what im doing. the rails and crossmembers has a lot of parts that need to be added,before going on to the suspension the 1st picture is the front the front chassis rails get cut on a angle and the pull ring mounts from the inside of the rails the 2nd picture is of the rear chassis. same thing on the pull rings sense im going with a bigger scale, the standard rail (62mm) are to small. the chassis width is now 70mm there about 20 more screws i need to add to the rails and a couple more supports im also going to be adding cab supports and couple others before priming i dont have a mill so i have to make do with what i have far as suspension goes it wil be kool though. boy! i cant wait to get some color on this chassis but, right now im focusing on the oshhosh arff but devoting one a day or so a week on this project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
