[QUOTE=4wd4ws;1931736]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.

no prob i thought you might have taken this build from an italia model... hmm i am going to build a dodge military ambulence when i get the chance.

4wd4ws · 08-17-2009, 11:57 AM

You mean Italeri? Now that's a compliment!

(no upscaling or anything just a mishmash of ideas)

Is this M80 a practice grenade with a fuse?
We used something similar except there is no fuse.It works like a match.
Don't be fooled by the size these things are really powerfull.(cigarette size)

Thanks,Red.At first i had trouble finding the right net to make it look somewhat scale but one of the members on the Dutch forum had the bright idea to use a industrial hairnet.

I used this cover instead of a net because it's much stronger.With the leafs attached the net got torn easily.
Not sure if i'm going to use the leafs on this cover.

4wd4ws · 09-18-2009, 11:00 AM

It's between me and this guy.A poll will decide who can claim prizes first.

What do you think?Badguy or goodguy?

4wd4ws · 10-21-2009, 12:23 PM

This little piggy will need some work to get the bugs out.
Softer springs,a tube bumper and a new chassisrail are some of the things i'll have to do this winter to make it compworthy next season.

The build-off ended in a tie and we decided to split the prizes.

4wd4ws · 05-15-2010, 03:03 PM

New parts are in the mail so it's time for an overhaul.

Wow, I just read through ALL FOUR PAGES (always wanted to do that...

) and this truck made me smile. Nice outside-the-bachs thinking! Can't wait to see what's up your sleeve for this machine.

4wd4ws · 05-18-2010, 03:28 PM

Thanks,Ugly Duck.

The main reason for taking it apart was lowering the tranny to get a better c.o.g. and layout.

The rear section can now be bolted on as a whole to make working on it easier.

The front has a setup similar to the rear to keep things simple and strong.

The chassis minus the bugs.
Basically a new front and lower part to allow me to run the wiring through the chassis and make sure all the heavy parts are lower than they were before.
