mhadman Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 A happy accident occurred when i finished the front geometry. Some how,when i turn the wheels either way,and lower the "inside"corner of the truck,i get camber change in the front wheels.I am not sure this amount would occur in a real truck at speed,but like the way it looks,so am going to leave it. As for the driver figure,i kind of wish i hadnt nailed down the interior bucket before finishing up the front.There is no way a figure will fit in it now,but i may play with photoshop later..:-) As for the shocks,they are my old stand by...Old TV antenea tube for the bodies..Straight pins for the shafts and evergreen tube for internal spacers,guides,and spring cups. I hate this thing...will be glad when its over..lol

Bigjeepzz Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Nice pic! When I first saw that I was reminded of a picture in one of the off road mags. Robby Gordon was jumping a truck ove a crowd of people. Looks good and the pic is great. Jake
kod38 Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I love those pictures. Truck came out really cool. Doug
Steve H. Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Great pics of a very well done model! :shock: I'm very impressed with both...
mhadman Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 Why thank you Gents! Getting compliments from anyone on this board certainly is enough to make any modelers day.. I have noticed this board has attracted the best of the best..I hope i can live up to it someday..lol These particular trucks are kind of a fringe element build.You either like it or you don't..lol The best thing for me about this particular build is that I didn't sacrifice too many good parts to get where it is,and got to use it as a test bed for a few things I wouldn't have normally done. the wheels and tires were the only parts I was hesitant to use,because I know they could have been used better on a project I was more serious about. Anyway,off to other builds...I have some pics and will be posting it completed and "under galss(for real,its going in an old aquarium lol)"
