For your first time i think the tube work is looking good and the bumper turned out really nice.

Definitely a great start. What metal did you use for the rear bumper? And front.

Starting mine up and getting it moving. Keep it up Lance!

Thanks Man!! If I remeber right it was 24 gauge sheet metal that I bought from Home Depot but I am not 100% sure on that.

Well she is about 95% done all I need is one of HeyOk's winch controllers, to wire up the lights and a little tuning. Thanks for all of the compliments they kept me motivated. Any on to the pics!!



















These are the new masks i have been wanting to try out. They work pretty good.













The silver trim did not turn out as good as I had hoped, but I learned what to do next time!!











Anyway for my first scaler build it came out alright. And I will be polishing the red off of the links so it won't look so stupid!! Now it is time to go drive the piss out of it. Let me know what you guys think of her!!

First scaler or not, came out really well. I'd leave the red links too.
