More?

Spare Wheel Carrier and Roll Hoop is done. 5mm Steel and it will bolt to the bed Floor with M2 Scale Hardware.


Hood is Nearly there, it's not getting the Vents because I cant do them to a high enough standard yet.


Little Hinges will have an M1.6 Nut on them when finished.


Forgot to mention it opens as well
It had to because this is where the Battery and Electronics are going to live.

Well from what I believe from the Brief requested by the Client it's going to be a Runner.

I'd run it, it's only a Truck at the end of the day. Admitedly alot of work, more than usual if i'm honest has gone into this one.

First Scratch will be a tough one to swallow.

The color came out really great! I like the choice you made. Actual Toyota colors.

The paint is perfect!!!

Had a few problems with the roof.
Got it super smooth down to 800 grit


But seeing as I used a thinner than normal styrene sheet to keep the weight low
Once the top coat was on you could see the support pieces underneath.

Nothing for it but..........




So don't use 040 for a Roof Panel anyone!!
I'm hoping this will work, otherwise i'll have to start from scratch and I don't really want to be doing that.

It wasn't that noticeable to be honest and if it was mine i'd have left it.

But it isn't so that's why I cut it out.

Once the Pink would have gone on it would have stuck out like a sore thumb.
