Thanks boys.
Yes i made the zook, im real happy with it.
Here's the real one

I'll post a few pics of the build as well.

Still to make a styrene fuel cell, add the lighting and finish off the steering arms, it'll be a wicked little rig to wheel thats for sure.

Its also painted in the same paint as the proper one.

No probs at all.
Still have a fair bit of work on it but it'll be a cool fun rig to go wheel.
Fuel cell ordered, make roof panel etc etc.

Well the zook is done, and in the new owners hands.
To say he's happy is an understatement, and has run pack after pack through it.

Thanks Banana, photos dont do it justice. Seriously had a hard time handing this over, doesnt happen all that often that i really want to keep a rig i build for someone, but he's a very good buddy and he was good enough to hand the radio to me and say "you built it, so show me how you can drive it haha!
