The Beast...KW winch truck
gotnitro? replied to gotnitro?'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I started the push bar /bumper last night. Luckily I still had enough solid rod to complete it . Gonna close in the ends and add supports later . I used a pipe cleaner for bending template for the larger bar. That sucker is 6.8mm rod...yeah heavy duty . The rear mount was square stock I filled w smaller sizes to make a solid bar. I ground the bottom over for a profiled look Jeff -

Thanks Sam !!! It's been fun bringing it back to life and giving it a new look Few smalls today , I kept looking at the winch deck and wanted something like a platform the driver could use to access the bed..digging thru spare parts, I found a section of screen...bingo The other side also got the basket , and a dunnage rack. I'll fill w 4x4s after painting...and the squirrels whittle them down... I mounted the rack a little short , I'm moving the exhaust system to under the cab, and new battery boxes . I'll have another 1/4" space -

Tbill just finished an Aeromax kit and it turned out fantastic, pretty sure it's the 120 . He should chime in with any difference -

Time to fill those huge gaps..I decided to bash together a couple tool boxes. They scaled out around 36 " boxes , just eyeballed space and guessed what looked cool. cut out openings for don mills rectangular slam locks , and added bread tie wire bottom hinges test fit mounts to achieve proper distance under deck..3/8 I beam scraps from a lowboy build was tacked on. The fuel tanks received the same lastly the broom closet is getting detailed. Adding a stack of air tanks against the frame , or the brakes wont work..then chatting w Tbill, I'll make a screen basket coming off deck for odd n ends -

Thanks I appreciate the feedback I knew the winch tower would be a focal point, so a few attempts later the newest squirrel called me over and asked what I thought... Happy with his work I sent him off to lunch , and mocked everything up this small broom closet has been crying for something.. after I lower the battery box Possibly a stack of air tanks w a donage box for timbers , tool box ..gonna play around w a few ideas. A larger box will live in front of the fuel tank Thanks for following along -
wheels 1/24 vs 1/25
gotnitro? replied to CharlieBravo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Only advice I can offer ..when I order aftermarket tires , they ask which wheel I'm using . Gary's 22 inch drives in 1/25 scale fits on a 20 inch wheel. Jamie's aka moluminum is the same . These both fit mobius wheel sets . -
