That thing looks awesome! What do you use for "body filler" for the gaps in the styrene?

Following for sure. That's some awesome styrene work! Threads like yours are far more enjoyable to read through multiple times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

More progress! To mount the "thingy" I used strong magnets and countersunk some flat screws into the front so the magnets have something to grip to, as well as a metal plate in the rear. Works well and invisible. The topper slides onto the styrene plate which will hold a lot of velcro for all the electrics and battery. Perfect, and completely hidden. Happiness. I also got a custom skin done up, courtesy of Freqeskinz to cover up that "thingy". Let's call it a "Trials Cover", I guess. Looks awesome, and should give you an idea of paint color for the cab. Interior progress has been made, but nothing to show yet. Simple, but all there. More to come, but I've been slammed at work. Work sucks and then you're dead. | |||

So more bits and bobs and I hit the home stretch. Step off my grille, dog. Interior is mocked up. Not sure I love the upholstery yet. It'll either grow on me, or I'll rip it out and start again. It'll probably work fine once I paint the cab. Door panels. Talk about Mudflaps, my girl's got 'em! I'm steering this towards the finish line. After all that, I'm exhausted. |

Very cool, I like the stuff you did there. Your tire lugs look much phallus too. Good job.

N00b provided some of these gas tanks originally intended for a Chevy. I chopped them up, painted and added them to the undercarriage to hide some of the mechanicals. I then tackled the interior parts and got that all wrapped up. Some Jerry cans for the rear (you can never have too much gas). And some detail work on the body. Much more to come in that regard. Right down to the wire for the USTE... Turk says hello from the driver's seat! | ||

The saddle tanks is a nice touch definitely hides things well. Great looking truck.

Loved the thread, and in awe of your masterful skills!! I was looking at the scale expo site, is it possible to be just a spectator? looks like the entry fees assume driving participation. |

| Re: Volvo Portal c303 Builded by a Guy Thanks very much. Yes, I believe you can be just a spectator to the event, but you do have to pay something to cover the entry to the event.
