Roff Racks and Lights

[Krazy_Polak]

I need to get some ideas for what I should use as a good scale roof rack and lights. I wanted to make the rack out of styrene, but if the truck rolls enough times then its done for. As for the light bar, I have some ideas but nothing that would really look good. suggestions would be great!

Watch E-Bay. Sometimes people will have just parts off of 1/24, 1/25th scale models that they are selling. Plastic is gonna break, but its not like these things are heavy weights. Otherwise get some tubing/rod(I use galvanized wire from Walmart)and make some yourself. Making it yourself is the best, cause then you have endless possibilities of whats availible. Good luck and keep us posted....

sweet, thanks for lettin me know about the part on eBay i am making a brush guard out of some brass, I have all of the pieces bent, just have to solder them now. The roof rack is gonna go on the scale Defender 110 that I am making, I was looking at the Camel Trophy trucks' roof racks, almost have the body finished, all should be done in a day or 2

Here are a couple pics of the roof rack and the bumper that will be going on the Defender 110...still need something that will work for scale lights though.

I used 1/16" Brass Stock on my Xmods a couple years ago and soldered the joints together. Pretty easy to work with and strong once it's all put together.

for my bumpers i used styrene tube with brass coathanger down the middle makes it easier to heat and bend as well
