For those of you coming to NW Scale Champs I am hoping to have the bodies and hopefully finished tube work on display.

Good question

I use this website for blueprints you will need to register to get larger files.
Its free
SMCARS.NET

Example of landcruiser front end



Print them off as large as I can and then usually do some calculations using the Tyres that I wil be used on the Rig.

Its a good starting point and means everything will look right.
Or use your axle width and go from there.
I then use google image search to find close up photo's for reference.

Right lovely day today so I threw some Yellow on the body to see how good i've been on the Fabrication...

Looks pretty straight couple of little bits that need a fettle but overall i'm pretty pleased.

More Later I hope to get the Red on today.

Dont panic I still have lots to do yet.

I have dropped a clanger I painted the bed assembled (I know schoolboy error)

Going to take it apart once it has gone off and paint the unpainted edges so If you change it round you wont have any white bits showing
