Great work man! Be careful with the Plastruct and similar agents. If it pools up in a spot that you cant see or forget about it will melt the styrene and deform the immediate area around it. But by far, you've definitely got this one nailed.

........................ What about a color for the exterior? The military drab color them is cool but I was thinking about making this a converted-to civilian tow rig with a race rig theme? | |

I think the trick is to keep it simple. A two tone, maybe a pin stripe to break it up. Whatever color you pick.        |

I meant 12"x36". 1 of the 3 sheets looked like they were ran an over by a truck but some soap and water cleaned it up. Read the reviews, I wasn't the only one. I would/will order more. HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) Sheet, Opaque White, 0.06" Thickness, 12" Width, 24" Length (Pack of 1): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific |

Coming along quick. I need to get back on mine. I picked up a tamiya humvee that will be the load on the flat bed of my hemtt. I'm building mine as if it were being used in a post apocalyptic world so I have an excuse for it not being exactly scale. Won't be able to tell until I get it to the point details like that would be being added though.

You look like a pro at this scratch building stuff for this to be the first one. Really think you should go the race team route.
