Nice work using the 3d printed master as the buck for the vac forming. Smart idea!
been doing this for a while figured other people have been too, i used the 3d printed molds to make wheel barrels, flares, and windows

making the clear lenses for the Keiscalade

Scanning was a headache until a few hours ago but i think i finally figured out how to center models on XYZ planes and bring up the alignment of parts to center.

Developed a in house technique for centering my 3d scans

The stock and custom grille on this truck are wack, the aftermarket options are really wack, since i was going for the Kustom look i basically had to do my own.

I dont build pickups i honestly avoid them but i bought the 99 silverado to create patreon content, one of the parts is an entire roofline chop because this truck is soooooooooooooo duulllllllllll😑
The body was scanned and several parts were drawn including several hoods. Since im building it i decided to make a new grill and bumper which is still in progress since im not sure on the direction i want with them i for sure want a custom 2000s look slammed on big wheels.

If im drawing it from nothing its drawing it from scratch, nobody in their right mind is gonna sit there and scratch build 4 wheels like this.

Most of the interior was 3d printed, outside the exhaust was 3d printed the front lip was old school modified

Scanned hood to printed hood, it was pretty successful. I have 0 plans to make any OEM parts for this kit

Scanning this truck end to end and modifying the parts into custom pieces and putting them up on my content site

This sweet Kyosho Fazer with a 57 body. It's pretty quick stock with a 2S battery but I want a 50+mph monster so new wheels, tires and electronics

First build in some years, wanted something different. I saw some pictures of kei vans with American van front ends so i went for it on my build. I kept it as a amateur job or someones home brew attempt at the conversion that isnt quite halfway through. This project was the first time i actually 3d scanned the body to scale the grill, make the new front bumper, and rear window fillers. the interior is 100% stock with orange accents. The paint is Mr Color high silver with Mr color clear orange, Windows were done with 2 coats of tamiya smoke. The wheels were supposed to be 4 spoke chevy rally wheels but that felt off to me so i went with some one off fan style wheels with orange wall tires to give it a "look". Pretty much every build going forward will end up in front of the scanner before anything else is done.

Wheels are done so are the tires they look good but decided to add more meat to the sidewall so I'm reprinting them
-
Interior is done. the 1:1 is spartan inside so I decided to avoid the multiple speaker sound system I had planned
-
Smoked the windows by scuffing them with 6000 grit then airbrushing tamiya smoke
-
Garage was freezing and wife doesnt want me getting sick so as long as im using tamiya and not painting a whole car i can paint in the house.
-
Granted a rare privilege of painting inside the house because its too cold in the garage
-
Was able to paint something before the temperature cools

Edison Diesel-Electric Truck
in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Posted
The shermanator weighs in around 57000lbs not counting trailer weight, Actually this truck is a lot cheaper to maintain as most of the parts are off the shelf items. not sure what you mean bulldozer since normal ones also clock in around 60000lbs, the fact that it pulled that tank easily a D9 wont be much of a challenge. Im rooting for Edison this is what a trucking needs.
