Oldmopars Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 As you may know I created the files for the W-1000 and the W9000 Ford trucks sold by Texas 3D Customs. Well, I have been working on another project and wanted to see if I should keep working on it or invest my energy in something else. The cab I have been working on is a 1997-98ish 9800 Eagle. Full sleeper version. I still need to finish the interior and a few details here and there. I know there has never been a kit of this, and I don't think there has ever been a resin, cast or otherwise. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go ahead and release this as a resin body, the file will not be available because then it could be printed by others and ruin the sales of the bodies. If, however we decide that the body is not something we want to print and sell, then I will sell the file so you can print it yourself. There is a huge investment of time in making these bodies, we need to decide how best to re-coup that investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you have seen my W1000 and W9000 from Texas 3D Customs, it will be on the same level of detail and quality as those. I would never release something I would not be proud to build ad display on my shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I was thinking that would be a donor instead of the 4070. A 9300 hood would be nice for that kit or 9400i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he offered them at one time, but not sure if they are still offered. If they are no longer available, it may be a possibility that I can work on them.

Honestly they may be available, I ordered from him and never got it and that's about all I'm going to say about that. I was just looking for alternative way to get those. I don't expect you to do them just for me, just throwing them out as projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Definitely a welcome cab ! Keep updating your progress Dave does offer the 9300 hood, I have one stashed for a future project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cargostar Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 A 9800 is coming based on the KFS castings, along with a 9700 from Models by Dave. The cab master is ready on the 9700, and about 1/2 done for a 9800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Is this to be 1/25 or 1/24? I know your other offerings are 1/25(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is produced from the KFS masters which are 1/24 to fit the generic Italeri chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I'd definitely consider the files for printing if you made them available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This question was actually aimed at Oldmopars, as his W trucks are 1/25 (at least I think they are). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The existing W series are 1:25, but that is based on the donor chassis being 1:25 if the desired donor is 1:24 then that will be what its made in, but that makes possible complications that I will have to deal with. If the cab in that scale 1:24, while the two are very close the 1:25 W is pushing the boundaries of my large printer it may need to be printed on my Huge resin printer and the price will be different, not much but its a cost issue.

KJ790 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I would buy a couple 9800 cabs if possible. I have been planning on scratch building them, but if I could buy one that would save me a ton of time. I would vote for 1/25 scale, as the 1/25 scale Moebius chassis and suspension would be the most accurate for a 9800 cab in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
