Frigg'n awesome

NEED MORE UPDATES ON THIS!!! Wow... I'm baffled at the attention to detail on this, not even accounting for the scale of it. Bring thhe scale factor into it and it really is that much more unreal man. Supremely well done!

This is awe-inspiringly awesome, any updates? Would love to see the completed work.

Thanks for the comments. I will be getting back to this build soon and have some big plans for a trailer.

Great detail,sure you got the same time if this was 1/1

[SCRUEWD]

The details it is all in the details.... lovin the lighting the dash is insane...

Awesome job. Your attention to detail is top notch. Can't wait to see the finished product.

my god......... this build is incredible, a work of art

[rcdave13]

There are some paint problems that I have decided to overlook for now so I can get this finished. Made a motor plate and installed the new motor. It's not much faster but there is more torque than I need so I will probably change the gearing later.







The windsheild that came with the kit was warped and I could hardly see through it so I made a new one out of lexan.

This truck looks so cool I couldn't stop taking pictures of it. The visor is made out of styrene, the steps are made out of styrene and covered with a chrome sticker and you can't see it but I made a headliner out of the stuff I used for the mudflaps. The fuel tanks and air cleaners are aluminum from Jamie at MoLuminum and look great. I think the only stock parts are the horns and mirrors. These pics are with the airbags dropped (springs removed).



















































I also took pics with the flash only (no other lighting) and think they look really cool but I didn't want to post a ton of pics so click on this link to see them all.

Outstanding modeling! The dash detailing is what impresses me the most. You got good eyes.

Thanks, the trick is a good pair of small needle nose pliers to use as fingers.

Here are some pics of the underside.







These will actually supply power to the trailer.

Ready to see some lights. The side marker lights are darker than I want and the camera makes them look even darker. I used an orange sharpie to make them darker and Future polish to hold the covers on and the Future polish made the Sharpie darker. I can fix it, just time consuming.

That truck is amazing.

Ordinarily I get annoid when somebody quotes a ton of pictures just to put a tiny comment at the end, but damn this was worth looking at twice!

Amazing work man. Can't wait to see what you have planned for the trailer. Would love to see a video of this going someday.

Couldn't decide between a Nascar type hauler and a drop deck so I will build them both. The Nascar trailer will have a really cool feature if I can get it worked out.

I used peices of an antenna to detail the engine and really like how it turned out. I made radiator supports using paperclips and hood supports with 32 gauge wire. I also used nylon screen to give the radiator more texture.
