| "White Python" 2008 Toyota Tundra Crewmax SR5 4dr Leer Cab Built with Tamiya Tundra
Seems like it will be just another cold and wet winter in Sydney this year. Instead of going out for a crawler adventure with my friend in North Parramatta Lake Reserve, I am enjoying the after work hours doing crawler body modification at home. Seeing this Tamiya Tundra Highlift shelf king collecting dust for over 3 years, I decide to carry out a plastic surgery for him. As I have learnt some entry level skills of using styrene sheet and applying putty, the new project starts now: PS: This is my Tamiya Tundra Highlift bought as a gift from my mom: Building this Ford F350 Super Duty Crewcab gives me more confidence with ABS plastic body rebuilding: Step 1: The Crewmax Cab building: |

Wow for someone that just signed up on rccrawler you certainly have a ton of abs plastic modeling expertise as well as a clear understanding of body work. The first couple of Tamiya hard bodies I did was an extended bed matte black beater tundra on a super old but still fresh cc-01 rig. Second was a full option Tamiya Highlift Tundra as well with 4 link, 4ws, MFC, ALL leds as well. Third was my best. 2 tone Tundra on an scx10 chassis with custom hand welded body armor all around and custom welded scale running boards. Nice truck btw. I had an 07 Tundra SR5 TRD sold it couple of years back....don't miss that bone jarring ride but sure miss being able to literally park and drive over anything. |

The only one thing I personally don't like about Tamiya highlift, is it does not have a uniformed scale standard for CC01 and highlift. I measured Pajero body width which is close to 1/9.5, while F350 and Tundra body width close to 1:11, let alone of their wheelbase which is another headache. This explains why I am keen to stretch the body cab and wheelbase, I can't pay $600 just for a toy-looking scale crawler. I will build 5 door Tamiya Pajero Wagon V33 next and do a decent painting job on all my recent builds when it is getting warm. Here is updates of F350 Super Duty Crewcab: | |

Very nice build. All the hard work is really going to pay off once it is done! All the proportions look spot on to the 1:1.
