So had a good go at the insides today little more fettling required and a bit more rubbing on the outside as well. Got the two seperate front seats done and also a rear bench. Underneath there is room for a Small 3s pack and a Receiver. i have relocated the Rc4wd box so that the esc can go in there. |

Topper take two I didn't like the first one looked off in some way so today I got the basics done needs a little fettle here and there but it should work out just fine. I could't just glue it to the body because I want it removeable so you can see all the insides, so a bit of head scratching i've come up with this. 4x3mm Earth Magnets in the Bed. 4 in the top That'll work |

Excellent work and detail Neil !! If I may make a constructive criticism, it seems the diameter of tubing used for the roll bar is a bit to large. I do not know the 1:1 size but my memory of these trucks tells me that it wasnt as beefy as your rendering. Any chance you can give a little tutorial on how you formed the topper ? |

Of all of the beautiful bodies that I've watched you build in these pages, I'd love to see this one get sent to someone who could make a mold from it and repeat these in a resin version. |

Well spotted was hoping no-one would notice I hunted around at work for ages and it was all I could find lying around. Its about 6mm so scaled up around 50mm tubing. I can live with it. The top you basically make a box without a lid but for 2 sides you obviously angle them in. | |

Finally getting there after much sanding I could take no more it was time for the Top Coat. Paint from Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal well it had to be really you cant go wrong with Gun Metal. For once the sun is out in Blighty so two cans later here's what I have come up with. Not sure whether to Laqcuer it or not I dont want it too shiny if that makes sense. |

Looks amazing. Really can not go wrong with the gray, my buddy has a gray 86 in a very similar color.

Blacked the Grill out and added the Corner Marker Lenses. Stock TF2 Plastic Bumper fits nicely round the front panel which is nice |
