My "Little" Mog Camper
 

I've been planning on doing a Mog camper project since last year's AxialFest and I figured it was time to get going on it, seeing as how Axialfest 2015 is 4 months away. This is my inspiration...

First I talk to my friend Ryan at DSPro and picked up a cab (last year). We started talking and he mentioned that he was thinking of offering a laser cutting service for styrene. Soooo I drew up some 1:10 scale schematics based on the real 1:1 Camper and sent them over to him with a "small" pile of styrene.

He sent me these the next day...

What's a Mercedes Unimog without some Genuine Mercedes-Benz lube? ;-)

Started getting the camper box put together. This thing is so big I decided to go with some square tube to save on weight.

I finished the outer skin of the Camper Box.

The 1:1 has small flip up windows on the sides, but I'm making some sliding side windows to keep things interesting. I used some 3.2mm styrene U channels for the "glass" to slide in.

Quick mock up picture to make me feel like I'm actually getting something done...

...and putting in some window sills. Waiting for a few pieces to get here to finish up the portal boxes, finish the drivetrain and organize the electronics.

One of the portal boxes mocked up with a test stub axle.

Sweet portals! Who makes them?

I love the cab! Looks like a fun truck "thumbsup"

Re: My "Little" Mog Camper
 

I found the portal boxes on Shapeways. :)

How are the portal boxes? Saw them on shapeway today and was thinking about them for my unimog project.

Re: My "Little" Mog Camper
 

They are made well and look nice. You need to do a lot of axle mods and stuff, but they look like they are going to work out well. I have Chris at CreationFab making me some custom axle stubs and hopefully they will be done this week so I can give an accurate account of their operation.

Very cool "little" build Ryan. I hope you bring it out sometime so we can check it out once its all done.

Re: My "Little" Mog Camper
 

I will sir! It won't be a comp truck for our comps, but it should be fun for G6's and trail runs. :D

Impressive list of parts

Hope you have something planned for the inside of your big box. Will you cover your support structure inside? Very interesting build "thumbsup". Every time I see a nice styrene build I'm tempted to ask how well it holds up to roll overs. I supose, if you can build it you can repair it as well....I digress, sorry

Watching this "thumbsup". Have to check out shapeways too, never heard of them
