Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Greatings Rc bro's. I have been peeping and buying and learning so much from you guys that it is time for me to show you my work in progress called Big Baby. Its named after my nephew who isn't here no more! Any way , I dont have the extreme fancy tools but I fab what I can fab with a dremel , drill, handsaw and imagination. Just a few pictures for now till I finish putting everything else on it. I am 90% away from being done. Please be easy on me for this is the first true scale build! Your thoughts and opinions or greatly appreciated and welcomed!!

Great start"thumbsup"

Where did the cab come from:?:

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Its the semi globe cab. Still have more stuff to add. Just came from a test run with my on road car on the back. then tried my scx 10 . Great success. Time and imagination is a beast! "thumbsup" Got to thank everyone from RCC for showing and telling!

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Nice start man, I have always liked the Globe cabs!

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Cruising with my 1/1o named the Lunch Lady on the back. Just a small update. Winches shall be added soon as well as more pics!

OK, Dean...you're killin me...

Looks great!

BWT: What's the width on that cab?
I might try to get my hands on a MAN version for a T5 build :twisted::twisted::twisted:

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Been pondering for a few days and decided to throw a exo cage on this joint! Any ideas! The way I am thinking, its gonna set this one off !!

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

An exo cage would look sweet on it in my opinion"thumbsup"

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

+1

I'm def doing a cage on mine, these big square cabs look great with some tubeing following the contours. Gives it a serious attitude IMO.

Your build is looking nice, keep up the good work ! "thumbsup"

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

I have been so busy being family man 17Dean this last week or so , that I have not been able to get some time in working on my EXO cage for Big Baby ! Fnally got some time to get my work on and finally pull the trigger. Please keep in mind I am no welder or brazer . This is my first cage as well as my 3rd project worked with brass and brazing. I have some tings in store for all the scale junkies like myself with the ultra splash of creation and imagination. Before the pics , I want to give a shout out to all you guys that have been coaching me from far Dont Slow Down , the Ghetto Rig and Bondonutz! Now pics!!!!!!

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Looks like a good start !

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Thanks bud!! If you must know , I used the masking tape as my plans and will make adjustments as I go. Numbered them up and cut, grind, sand, flux then solder. I have a game to go to today but is trying desperately to stay home and get back to work.

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Sorry for taking so damn long to respond but its the tamiya globeliner cab..."thumbsup"

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Lookin good man! Your joints have improved by far!! I've never seen a square cage before but it looks like it would fit the cab well. Can't wait to see more!

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Looks good liking the square cage very cool "thumbsup"

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress

My other side view.Have about 5 or 6 main pieces to get brazed... Really shooting for the end of this week to be done and ready to be painted! Time to roll up now!"thumbsup":roll:

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Looking good man! Those joints are looking better! It's hard to get a lot of heat into a part that has multiple things attached to it.

Re: Introducing: Big Baby..... Work in steady progress
 

Thanks Dont Slow Down.... I cant stop brazing!!!! Anyways...This morning after dropping the lil one off to day care I decided it was a good day for wake and bake and drive while listening to my morning jam. Any how , red and blue lights hit me when I am a block from my home smelling like a pound! Got a dumb ticket and came inside and banged it out in the lab! Was so ultra disgusted I needed to put some much needed work in. And this is the result from my early day!.....

That's cool with the mesh on there, turning it into a zombie apoclipse rig?
