mdlbldrmatt135 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 All,I've finally started working on some "Aftermarket" bumpers for the Meng F-350 kits. I don't want to take the (full) kit to work, and can't take the CAD software home, so I wind up doing paper mockups to confirm Form/Fit/Function. I'm not sure if I'll add brushguards, or make them separate yet. I'll probably do a few rear bumpers as well. I'm working to the 1/35 version, and do have minimal measurements for the 1/24 one, but could use some measurements to/of the mounting pins on the 1/24 version.Here's a preview of the 3 I have started so far:http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/mdlbldrmatt135/misc 3d stuff/bumper_asst.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdlbldrmatt135 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 All,I haven't ordered any of them for myself to verify the fit, But I've measured & remeasured & printed on paper to mock them up.I have 4 different "sets" available in 1/35 scale:2 "Plate" Bumper optionshttp://shpws.me/M0kC http://shpws.me/M0mA2 "Pipe" bumper options. http://shpws.me/M0mB http:// http://shpws.me/M0kt I'm awaiting a "loan' of the 1/24 scale bumpers to verify them.Thanks!

mikemodeler Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Matt, I should be able to get to the stash and dig those bumpers out tonight or tomorrow. Of the two samples you have above, I am leaning towards the Plate bumpers. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Would it be possible to do something like this? I have an idea for a highly customized one, and I want it to say "I hit you, it WILL hurt"!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdlbldrmatt135 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 For sure.I'm still waiitng for someone to "loan" me the 1/24 scale bumpers, to get thew mounting points to work with the kit. (as I'm not sure they scale directly from 1/35) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdlbldrmatt135 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Stuff's on hold for a bit guys. I went into the Hospital with some Back pain, and they kept me for Cardiac observation, as I passed out in the ER.... the over night stay found nothing cardiac related (all labs and EKG's were clear of anything) but because of the pain, the stress test they want to do isn't scheduled for 2 weeks. The wife is paranoid, and making me take it easy, and not go into work early, or stay late. I'll hopefully get back on them once all the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH tests they wanna do are done, and they don't find anything. In the mean time, I see a Chiropractor after work today (which is what the ER nurse initially thought I needed).Thanks,Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
