semijoe Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 Dog Gone Awesome. I see ya switched wheels? Functioning Water tank It's got to be one of the Coolest R/C/model rigs out there. Have you done any others with this much work before this one? and do you have pics/videos? ive done 206 builds, includes working wreckers, boom trucks, roll off flatbeds trucks, etc. but in 1/14 scale and not as detailed. sense i joined a couple of modellers forums i noticed i can learn alot and pick up the detailing. so really this is my 1st detailed truck. i did build a working mobile 8x8 rocket launcher. that was really kool. looking back it,i could have made it alot better here link to some of my builds http://scalebigrigs.madmooseforum.com/

semijoe Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 HELP !!!!!!!! the part on top the roof. it looks like an incase window i would somebody to confirm that
novadose71 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Don't know what that is, but you could be right. I've probably seen 10-20 TI's go through in the year and a half I have been on that line, and have never seen one of those. Could be something a customer requested we add during the build or could be an add on after purchase, definitely not standard equipment. I think we would add just about anything a customer wanted us to, just needs to be worked out during the ordering process.

Romell R Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 You have a sickness Joe and i knew you had it from the first time read this thread. Youve got detailidous, theres only one known cure but most guys who get this illness refuse to take it because it involves a sewing kit and pink frilley things. LOL! Keep up the good work Joe and that window and grating looks fantastic!
