thanks! Quote:
0.040 is the thickest I usually use, and then only in straight long structural pieces (like reinforcing the seams between the front and rear cabs or the roof which I know will get abused, lol). I also layer in some instances, starting with paper thin styrene then working up to a stronger thickness. | |

I want to give it a shot first, I think I can pull it off but if I get stuck It's good to know you have my back . It's just sitting on the back burner until I get other stuff sorted through. Enough about me though what chassis are you using or are you going to fab your own again?

This body is going on the jeep crew cab chassis. I started with a K2-3L, then had to recut new alum chassis pieces to accommodate the interior. This hilux will not have an interior though.  tamiya touring car shocks, TLT axles, pede trans. | |

That is coming along nicely .Are you gonna do a drop bed? What about the back window area? I don't like how they did the back window on the hilux. I want to change that on my hilux, I just haven't had the time or focus to actually do it. Very cool build pantablo. |

Thanks. No plans for a drop bed. the chassis this is going on has the jeep crew cab, and on that the drop bed prevents me lowering the body to a reasonable height. I dont feel the need on this to do a drop bed. I'll just texture and paint flat black as is. The rear window? You mean how you have to paint part of the glass to be body color? That doesnt bother me here. Trying to keep it simple. I'll install it as its supposed to be... |

filled a bunch of holes. used the parts tree from the bed hole to plug the mounting holes, then a bit of putty.  also filled the bed holes and added a detail around the bed I think is sorely missing on the tamiya vs the 1:1...  minor filling and some sanding remains. Have to repair a problem I have with the roof too...grrr... |
