da_ashman Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hey Guys, Managed to get the interior together last night, Over the weekend i clearcoated the Plasticoat satin black with Alclads Light sheen, I thought the satin finish was a tad unrealistic & much happier with the light sheen finish. Tonight's mission is to mount the body over the chassis. Fingers crossed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_ashman Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Made a bit of progress in the past week, got the body mated to chassis & started on getting the stance right. Wheels have been detailed & decided to go for a set of Photoetched brakes i had laying about. Hoping to have it ready for a model show 1st October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_ashman Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Cheers KWT 1 Week to go! Fenders on, ride height tested & sorted. just all the small things to finish off now... These pics were just mocking up ride height, I've had to glue the tires onto the rims as they kept sliding around. & now I have glued the wheels & brakes & suspension on, just no photos yet.

spencer1984 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thanks to "real life" getting in the way this summer, I haven't really had a chance to check this forum until today. Since the thread is still open I'll throw in a couple that I've done in the past: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranma Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Those are really nice! Maybe you should build Ultra Magnus to go along with prime, Since they were the same make of truck! Picture of the Toy copy found on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer1984 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thanks! Yup, I have a second Freightliner and will be using the transport trailer from Fujimi's Mitsubishi Fuso kit (with some modifications) for Ultra Magnus. The Mitsubishi cab can then be built as Inferno or Grapple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
