Take your time! 🙃

I can't answer that but my opinion is, you've been doing such a great job on this truck, why worry about it? In customizing the sky's the limit! Do what ever you like! 😉

Looks really noble! Good Idea! Since Revell and others don't seem to make anymore colored metallics like red or green I tried to mix a metallic green using a uni bright green and aluminium metallic. Didn't work out like I had expected. Looks like I'll have to enter new grounds and try out something new! Thanks for the info and the idea. Keep going, it's a really nice build!

Awesome! You should send the Pictures to Hollywood, maybe they'll use it to furnish a new Truck for a sequal! 😉

OK, thanks! Just have to get used to all the Insider abbreviations! I can Imagine it being a pain sometimes! That stuff is not easy to handle! But you're right, when it works it looks great! 👍

Nice color! What Kind of paint did you use? Looks like a metallic.

Looking great! 👍 Just one (maybe stupid) question: What's a BMF? 🙈

Thanks! If I had the space I'd do a lot more movie trucks.

Yes, and I hope it comes out like I expect it to. I'll be starting the print of all parts shortly so I can do the painting during summer. It'll take quite a while till everything is printed. The cab I showed you took 37hours.

Thanks Rockford! What I forgot to say, I also lowered the cab a bit because compared to the K100 VIT kit the windshield and the side windows were way too high. So I took out a few millimeters and adjusted the bolts and everything else. It would have looked strange having two KW K100s with different windshield hights. Except for the engine tubing and a few smaller parts the designing of truck and trailer are almost finished. Didn´t think I´d get through that fast. Maybe it´s because I learned a lot in designing the last couple of weeks. I´ve been watching tutorials on different skills like freestyle shaping parts and using "short cuts" for things I had done much too complicated before. I also learned how to easily design gears and so I´ll be synchronizing the doors underneath the trailer when they open. Hope that works out. Here´s the first shot at the sun visor!

Absolutely amazing! The details are stunning and so realistic! 👍

Cool build! 👍 Very interesting idea.

Thank you guys! These are the corrections I made to the cab: As you can see, the slim struts and the side windows don´t come out really well and They´re absolutely impossible to sand or rework in any other way so I extracted them out of the cabin in order to be printed in a different position. That way they should come out nicer! I put in some support struts in order to keep the roof from falling during printing. The front part will be held up by a software generated support structure. I also began designing the trailer which turned out to be quite tricky. Here´s the original first: Sorry, these are screenshots from the movie. They´re a bit blurry but I think you can see the important things. Now the designed parts of which I had to split some up due to the size of the parts. The printer only goes up to 220 x 220 mm. I also designed the cross bars in mounting position and then extracted them to get a better printing result. The back end: The container inside: Underbody and doors: and the suspension which I took over from the tractor and changed them to a trailer suspension with the u-bolts being mounted upside down like I learned from Force! Thanks again for your valuable input! That´s all for the time but there´ll be more!

Fantastic! Making a 1/32 Kit Look like a "big one"! Great job! 👍
