  1. you would never it was a model, out standing detail
  2. felt like working with plastic today, so i started on the topper for the boom compartment again, every truck i look at is alittle different. so im going to combine what i saw from each one. 1st theres the main topper, then i made a removable top plate on top that. the plate has 32 micro screws in it so the basics is done for it. i figure i show you a before shot , tomorrow i will sand, prime and paint
  3. small update i received in nother batch of micro screws and wow was a difference it makes i started with the sides of the topper and the floor also added some to the top of the engine compartment
  4. pull rods are on spacers are in electronics are up and running, still along way to go though
  5. wahoo! the actuator cam in and have to say ,its perfect for what im looking for i made the main joint cup, the 1st lower boom is 278mm long, then the knuckle and then the main boom , which is 580mm long i mounted the actuator too. i still have quite few parts to make still. but i figure i show some pictures
  6. hey pete , thats is a really sweet car. i beleive i can get these cars for arround half that price. but i have to get them 2x a time
  7. thank guys! today i some time to work on her i built the main support for the book. it will mount directly to the frame. this should be stridy enought for what im doing with it. i couldnt make it a solid peice, as everything has to be able to come apart .

  10. usually when i pick a build out, i like to build someting that you really dont see alot of. i build alot of rigs for customer and after awhile it gets very boring.this is why i dont own a big rig my next build is to finish the hemtt. but after that was thinking a scud launcher. it scaled out to 48inches long 12 inches wide. ive built a rocket launcher once , it really worked to. but the detail in this one would really kool thanks
