| Mascman's TOPLESS PICS of a Caged BRONCO!! (lots of pics)
Here is my semi-scale Bronco all complete. It's an SW2 based truck with custom cagework. Here it is with the cage and bumpers done...need some sliders now. Got the sliders done and a bed...now we need some seats! Gathered up some interior parts. All assembled and painted. My two Fords! The rest are just pics of my first crawl in a new spot I found. Washing off the tires and going home! I can't really capture the paint color. I really believe it looks better in person. Hope everyone enjoyed my thread as much as I've enjoyed reading all the others! |

Not trying to be an a-hole....even though I am an a-hole.....but this truck doesn't belong in the scale section. I like some of the scale attributes, like the seats and body, etc, but the truck as a whole does not look scale AT ALL. The Bender chassis is frikin awesome but is not scale and that is all my eyes turn to on the high riding body when I look at it. The laid down shocks don't help with the scale looks either. Why not grab a cool scale chassis, like the Diaz unit and use that.....then use Benders for a true comp rig?

I was thinking the same thing. The body needs to be lowered, or it isn't really scale. Even if you could, it still wouldn't be true scale.

I stated that this was a SEMI-SCALE build. I think it looks more scale than some who just put a body on a scale chassis without any details. Can the moderators move this out of the scale section and into the regular TLT section please? I guess it is just a TLT build. [insert bubble-bursting sound here] I used the SW2 chassis because I only have enough parts to build one rig so I just started to add to that. I may look into another chassis, but I don't think the full interior will fit. I cannot lower the body and cage because the interior won't fit and the battery will not allow the flex that I want. I think it looks like a LIFTED vehicle and not like a Jeep with 33"s stuffed under a 2" lift. The interior is pieced together from a couple toy vehicles. The compartment is a piece of plastic that I bent and shaped. The dash is aluminum angle. The radio/heater controls and center console came from a Newbright Volkswagen. The seats are the Recaro cell phone holders. Thanks for the compliments! Razor - This spot is different than our GTG this Sunday. It's not very big and I don't think the Supers would have anywhere to crawl. It's more for Scale (or SEMI-scale) trucks. |

That turned out really nice! Keep finding those spots. Even if they are not comp worthy, we can still hold small GTG's at them. |

This spot has your truck's name written all over it. I think it's pretty cool and we should have a Scale meeting there sometime. | |

| Thanks. Can't seem to get a good close up of the interior: I made some shock mounts this morning. They are 30mm taller, which dropped the chassis some. Now I will have to run the battery on the rear because it will not fit on the front axle and there is too much weight if I mount it under the hood. I'm going to try this out tomorrow at the Western PA Crawler's GTG. |

Nice looking rig, and its just fine that its in the scale section, regardless weather it not it has a scale frame, the rest of the truck has alot of nice scale features. Keep up the good work -Mike |
