It just got real

[kgb424]

no

I will be painting them light blue like a Nitrous Bottle

Will look for 8 oz and 12 oz C02 cartridges to make welding tanks that are orange and green

And use some red and green wires for a hose and make a torch out of something

And put it in the trailers

[kgb424]

Taco I have tried to make my posting easier to read, even for you

by using simple words and Haiku's, and try to keep it simple, cause I get it, you don't like reading

I guess you need to review your hooked on Phonics audio tapes and hook on Phonics books

and take some of your Arthritis and Glaucoma medication

Or take some of your cure all elixir and hair of the dog

and enjoy a good read, others like my honesty and sense of humor

some don't, but oh well, people are entitled to do there own thing, and we all know I'm doing my own, and in my own little world, and I'm the King and its good to be the King

yours is pissing on my parade, that's ok right back at you

Simple solution for "easier"... just post pictures

[kgb424]

Nope some people, just will never get it and right back at you

[TacoCrawler]

^ I'm more interested in what you've actually accomplished...

Not what you might be contemplating in your wishful thinking or imagination

[kgb424]

I got the trailers trimmed out and filed flush with plastic frame,

I ended up trimming to much on the big trailer and opened up 2 holes in the bed that are on the bottom

The little trailer has 3 holes, the way its made, so it should be a easy patch with some Styrene on both trailers

[kgb424]

I got the Hasbro Jeep Chassis trimmed out and sanded and will need to add epoxy and some square stock

But not sure how to cut the front of the Chassis

So I can use still use the front bumper and so it looks right

I need to look at other builds and see where the cut there frames and how is the front bumper trimmed and mounted

[kgb424]

I trimmed the front of the chassis rails, so the they look right and trimmed off the 2 posts under the body

I also trimmed out the hole for the the drive shaft, its bigger than it needed to be, now I see why people use the T1 Disturber Transfer cases

I trimmed the back of the front bumper and added a groove, so when I fill it in with 2 part epoxy, it will add strength

[kgb424]

This is a T1 Disrupter style, transfer case, I found not sure, they have 2 different output gear ratios

I'm leaning towards the 2:1:8 ratio one,over the the other one that seems to be different from seller to seller

So I need to check it out, cause one of these T1 Transfer cases would also work for the Jeep Mutt

[kgb424]

Ok I pulled the trigger on a T1 Disrupter transfer case like in the pictures above

I also bought these G-Made/Junfac wheel wideners with a +11mm offset

Cause there cheaper than doing the XR Mod, Cause I made my own tubes for stock with SCX10 axles

The SCX10 axles, I XR Modded for the 1/6th scale Jeep Mutt are to wide for the 1/6th scale Hasbro Jeep

And the +11mm offset wheel wideners are wide enough to work the stock SCX10 axles

those wider hex adapters have a grub (set) screw to hold them on ?

[kgb424]

I'm adding more scale detail, I found a shovel and axe for Willy's Jeep

Need painted with silver and black to look like the are scratches to give that used look

There not the original ones but close enough for replacements

[kgb424]

I just found a 1/6th scale Hasbro Willy's gas can, its one of the Desert Willy's ones, its tan but can paint OD Green

The sellers pictures are tiny

[kgb424]

I worked on the Jeep Mutt, I looked online at Jeep Mutts and the gas can sits on top of bumper mount, not like the Hasbro's or Dragon's they have a tray/mount

So I used my Dremel to sand the lip on the bottom of the gas can and the backside of lip on the bumper mount

So that the gas can stay in place, but still needs glued in place or 2 face taped or Velcro-ed

I want to make it a three handle gas can, before I mount it, cause it has one handle in the middle,

It was the only gas can I could find at the time

[kgb424]

Yeah Baby Check this out, I made 2 more handles out of scrap Styrene

It's hard to round the strips beaning that small, but there getting closer to rounded

With them sanded a little more and filled in a little and painted

The gas can will look good

[kgb424]

Not going to buy it, but it would make a sick R/C

If you could find some heavy duty tracks

And figure out how to make the tracks work right

I seen pictures of a Volvo tp21

That is pretty sick too

[kgb424]

Yeah Baby

I sanded and filed the steering column and drilled out the steering wheel

So the cast steering wheel fits tight

I think the wheel, will look better Flat Black, than O.D. Green

And like how the nut on the steering column

Comes up thru the wheel like the original Hasbro wheel does

Looks good to me

[kgb424]

Yeah Baby

The cast wheels are 2 1/8'' inches in diameter

And is the same size as the steering wheel for the Jeep Mutt

So a 2 1/8'' wheel is the right size to look scale enough

Going to use the second wheel in the Humvee, cause the extra Wraith wheel, I used is not the right size or scale

Need to see if there is some of plastic rod, the right diameter, I can use from plastic parts tree's from my Dragon Kit

To make a new steering column for the Humvee

[kgb424]

That worked great

I found a piece of plastic rod that I made a steering column for the Humvee

Not sure how far, I want it to come out of the dash board

Its not glued in place yet

[STRAT]

That steering wheel looks nice.
