Hinge is done, only some dremeling left on it, it fit great and is hold down by magnets, pretty much a PITA to make this one but it came out really good so im happy after all!

They will be replaced by mudpluggers, got them on order, i have to put them on to see what fits the best, but probably the pluggers will be the ticket even tho the flashpoints seem to have some really good traction.

Sick work as usual, I would do the bar around the window area and roof, good protection so you don't ruin all the hard styrene work.

There will be a bed with some kind of fabric over it, look in pic on first post.

A little work done, nothing that shows really, mounted the bumper, servo, and a couple of small things, battery fits pretty damn good to!

Also its pretty much done for paint, only some sanding and dremeling left, color will be close to the grey one in the first post.

Everything is looking great with exception to that front bumper. No offense but at this point it just looks like a rushed after-thought. I think you could make square stock work but maybe a larger shape or smaller stock. Any ideas?

Yea i know, i thought the 4mm square stock was a lil to large but i didnt find any smaller at my local hardware store, i think it will look better when everything is painted, we will se, if not i just make a new one later on.

Very nice G! Im getting really close to building one of these... are they reall that complicated? I have 4 axial axles, and 2 transmissions. Is that enough to do something like this?

Today i got some paint on it, i really suck at painting bodys!! Anyhow its painted at it turned out ok, it looks a little boring as it is now without any details and such things, it will get better as soon as i get those on.

I will work more on it tomorrow and make it a lillte more "alive"!
