Diamond Reo COE

Hi, it's me again. As I promised I'd like to share my first model truck which was completely designed and 3D printed, except for the tires (Revell), the air lines and of course the windshield and side windows.

Hope you like it. It's far from perfect since I'm still learning features of designing and printing but it's not bad I guess.

But you get to give me the final feedback.

Nice work on this one.

Very nice build of a unique subject. I don’t recall seeing a DR cabover with that type of grille before. What model year was it based on?

As far as I know it's a 73 model or so but I'm not sure! Early to mid seventies though!

This was the picture I used as a reference:

I know, my rebuild is not quite like the one on the picture but I call it freedom of art. ?

There were some of this type with rectangular head lights, probably a later model year.

The proportions might not be perfect either but my only reference was putting the picture into a close to 1/25 scale and measuring off the screen. 

I think for that it worked out pretty well. Nothing to brag about but I'm satisfied with the result!
