Awesome! By the looks of it your doing a very detailed job of it, looking forward to the body/cab!

I say make it a tanker...

To carry the after-crawl drinks

rbgerrish · 02-03-2008, 10:46 PM

Great work so far. How do you like the Proxxon? Would you recommend it?

miniwheeler · 02-03-2008, 10:48 PM

Love the suspension

zrider · 02-03-2008, 10:50 PM

That way I can look forward to build the 40 inches long trailer when the tractor is done

One idea I have is to build different interchangeable attachments....like bed - a wreckerbody - tank and so on....we'll see.

Nah, your still my hero just for builing this.

If you need any other pics of one let me know. I can get pics of the tanker, cargo, wrecker, and even the PLS versions.

I'm very satisfied with the Proxxon, and it's supposed to be top quality(at least, that's what the dealer said

)
With a tag saying $3000 for the combo I got, I'm sure there's less pricey alternatives that would be sufficient. For my level anyway.

But YES!! I would recommend it !

Got started on some styrenework:

Wow, Unimoger and Microgoat have competition in the 8x8 world...

ColquittCustom405 · 02-07-2008, 06:34 AM

Impressive. Subscribed.

tjb · 02-08-2008, 02:43 AM

This is incredible, good to see someone doin up another 8x

A "can" hauler would be sweet too, I bet the Bruder Container would perfect option.

hairba11 · 02-08-2008, 07:23 AM

nah, forget the bruder can, sombody needs to send that guy a couple of quart cans of highlife :-P

karlos · 02-08-2008, 10:49 AM

Very cool build so far. I love anything military and multi-axled! Keep up the good work.

Vforce · 02-12-2008, 02:40 PM

Some progress!

"Engine" mounted. Tilted as the original

After some major head scratching....this is the latest solution for steering setup (needs a double servohorn tho...)

First action shot

Dubs Chops · 02-13-2008, 09:50 PM

i love those lock hubs, need my address to send me a set?

hitman46mod · 02-13-2008, 10:04 PM

Thats awesome.

LAV25 · 02-14-2008, 01:26 AM

Excellent, I've got an 8x8 military build in my head now, subscribing....
