Instead of 'Z-ing'/dropping the rear of the chassis i decided to just add a big bumper with a winch.

The fairlead was a gift and was made by ImportScooby.
(A nice detail for the carfreaks;the rollers are made out of BMW 850CSI brakeline.)

Thanks,guys.

The chassis ect. will be covered in a similar camo as the body on top of a olivedrab basecolor.(see wheel)

The body will get more camo and when finished i will cover it with TS-80 to create a more even effect.

4wd4ws · 08-05-2009, 12:19 PM

Plenty of space for the tires.(no chance for mud to build up)

Sense you painted every thing doesnit screwup the bearings and shocks???

4wd4ws · 08-05-2009, 04:05 PM

Not reallly.I don't degrease them so after a few turns/cycles all the paint comes off in those places.

A lot of 1:1 machines,trucks,tanks,ships ect. are painted after assembly.

4wd4ws · 08-07-2009, 02:10 PM

A little bit of color to give an idea what this thing will look like after completion.
The clamp for the mudflap won't be visible with the body on the chassis.

i understand your concept. next time you build a military vehicle use a model car for instructions to upscale it to 1:10. it looks a lot better when done but very nice1.9er. i am buildinga 1:25 scale rc military vehicle once i find some small rc diffs. i like how you painted the underside. i am thinking desert wear on mine.

rubberovrroc · 08-07-2009, 06:34 PM

Sweet rig

goodoldlevi · 08-07-2009, 10:12 PM

Thanks,man.

I'm familiar with upscaling models but i'm not sure how it would help me with this build?
This is purely based on my imagination since it's my entry for a SF/Apocalyps build-off.
