semijoe

had some time to work on the maz I cut and drilled the holes for the A-arm brackets

out door pictures , wahoo!!!

here for comparing next to a 1/14 scale 28 inch long Tamiya king hauler

work on the rear cross member, front cross member, made a plate for the winch , that's going behind the front bumper

I have faith in all . its about the will to do it ive started working on the bumper, reason why im doing the bumper now is because this gives me a base width of the truck .theres more parts to make for the bumper , will work on that tomorrow , but heres some pictures, to give you an ideal on scale, heres the bumper from a 1/14 scale king hauler semi.

wow, this really came out nice do you have more pictures of this car?

man, this a beast in a 1/10 scale. also I already see that I have a lot watchers, many thanks everybody I want to let everybody know, I don't have a machine shop. everything is cut with a hand held hack saw , I use a drill, tap, and a table sander. no specially tools. all metal is bought from home depot. so really any body can make this . just takes patiences, a lot of pictures and amagination the chassis has an upper sub-frame . to scale its 28mm high and 97mm wide. the cross member are 14mm solid alum covered with styrene . each cross member goes right over the axle

I made four belly plates , these sit right under the axle for protection and later the transaxle mount on top them

alright time to get started here, Ive been playing around with this build for about a month now , trying to prep for it . suspension is something new to me as it is an independent suspension. so at 1st I bought the wrong parts , this booboo cost me 180.00usd . but im hoping I can resell the item back to the build. I went with plastic side but alum backers, alum cross members and alum corners. I do want the chassis to be able to twist a little under stress. the truck will be 34 inches long by about 13 inches wide . tires are about 5.5 iches tall. im going to detail much as possible. maybe a 1/10 engine under the hood. I was going to do military colors, but ,been there done that. I was thinking maybe yellow , blue and alum color, not sure yet the bed I do something crazy, but I don't want let the cat out the bag yet . im figuring 6 month build , 600 plus hours if you want to see the real truck google maz 537.
