Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals Hi, more goodies coming! after the motor mount, I want to make the truck standing on it's own so the work order is: front axle truss, panhard and upper link and spring/shock mounts The truss: Started with the axle springs mounts, similar to the 3d printed i have in the back but in steel to be welded https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4760/...493c3b8b_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4748/...6b14de00_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4745/...6926a681_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4630/...89272d40_b.jpg Added a 5mm square steel rod,tight to the housing https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4723/...1403b152_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4716/...4357209b_b.jpg To finish, the panhard mount next to the knuckle and the angled upper link mount https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4696/...019b7898_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4754/...3c850148_b.jpg The idea behind the truss was making it low profile so it wouldn't hit the frame rails but in the same time, looked from factory. The angled link mount allows to use straight rods and has a thread to avoid the "nut and bolt" |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals Nice start! Cool build. "thumbsup" |

Next update : My goal of making the truck stand on it's own is done Finally did the spring mounts: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4678/...0d9bfdc0_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4746/...87da720d_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4761/...e29ea8f7_c.jpg In place: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4655/...cece9533_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4747/...63ac5faa_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4623/...ca54c7ec_c.jpg Now, secure the bumper |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals I have mounted the bumper,panhard bar and i'm working on the steering,this week I should have photos. Meanwhile, at home, was taking care of the bed It's first iteration was made mainly in balsa wood, sounded like a good idea at the time: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4648/...c9ab98b4_b.jpg Painted, looks good enough but can't handle the trails So,had to do another and using the opportunity to make it wider because that was another mistake I've made. So, this one is 30mm wider https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4627/...d22fffc0_b.jpg First, the bottom: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4654/...d549b58a_b.jpg And then, one side: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4765/...0189ccb3_b.jpg Back: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4752/...89b4b852_b.jpg With primer: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4667/...f75fac8f_b.jpg It's the first time I've worked with tooling foil. It's fun stuff |

Well, worked on the steering. Didn't want to see the servo or servo horn when looking from the front so i did this: https://youtu.be/4iCBtbEOgjg Not fancy nor groundbreaking but with the cab on top, the only thing showing will the the fake steering box |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals How the rear bed will look: http://i65.tinypic.com/o6h6xd.jpg Actually,the other side was done yesterday. I'm waiting for bolts for the hinges |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals Portugal is under a storm so there's not much left to do besides try to build stuff. Today I finished the other long bedside and turned to the floor. Honestly, hadn't a fixed idea on what to do besides a floorboard look Scribed the all the lines and started with the "nails": https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4783/...eaa519a7_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4789/...50ab2e8f_b.jpg After all the nails, some black spray, a bit of sanding to do a kind of black wash,apply a heavy duty metal brush to do a wooden texture and finally the brown: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4792/...3ed1fb5d_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4774/...bb4f9e18_b.jpg more zoom! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4783/...9e5c6fd4_b.jpg[/url] Honestly, i was surprised with the result as the paint could fill the texture of the metal brush but turned out nice. A mate clear coat in the end will take the shine away |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals If I didn't know better I would think that is real wood. |

Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals More on the rear bed,has hinges, only need to replace the lower screws for shorter ones: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/812/2...c5891157_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/788/2...c64c94ee_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4777/...fd6dec49_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/819/2...e52a4f2c_b.jpg Very satisfied with the bed width, the bedsides drop perfectly About the bedsides: [video=youtube;nNUlchGRg0Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNUlchGRg0Q[/video] Wanted to get it running this weekend so modified the steering setup to get more steering lock and put the front shock towers in place: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/804/4...67675307_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/789/4...ec7e2f05_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/784/4...da1d0dbb_b.jpg It's time for ziptie all the electronic and try some rocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDJQcLNCwFY |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals Great job! That bed detail looks fantastic |

2 more things: How the sides open: https://youtu.be/nNUlchGRg0Q First test of this all-new setup: https://youtu.be/cDJQcLNCwFY |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals small stuff: The bedsides open,good...but they have to stay closed most of the time so i've came with an idea that it's not hard to execute and don't look out of place First, machined these 3mm pieces with a 1.5mm hole for the pin (dowel?): https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4774/...db8e79be_b.jpg then, made the part that bolts on the bedside: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4786/...e79ea532_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/800/4...11e831ac_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/802/4...0a2f4bd2_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/800/4...e2dff9dc_b.jpg The black bolts should be countersunk but the tool failed on me so had to use these ones. The chain will be replaced if I find a smaller one |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals Hi guys! Finished the bed, only needs to be painted: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/814/2...3c152abe_b.jpg All the latches done, rear tailgate and it's steps: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/874/2...40332ea1_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/865/4...1f3ca3ee_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/893/3...1982bcfa_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/816/3...5044ac2c_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/900/4...a33c00d5_b.jpg Bishop approves: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/788/4...c7313ed7_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/863/3...e5de16f7_b.jpg |

Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals Small detail that was bothering me for some time: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/963/4...228fd185_c.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/966/4...3ea17660_c.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/960/4...6faefd92_c.jpg Long time ago,I've ordered a Axial parts tree only for the door handles. Not lazyness, only lack of skills. But the tree only had 2 so they went to the doors. Now, I can do stuff out of Styrene :) Also carved the holes, they're not painted because I'm doing underside detail on the hood |
Re: Unimog 6x6 with portals Hi guys! was on vacations so nothing big was made on the 'mog but the guys who print my stuff offered to model and print an Unimog engine so I took the chance. straight from the printer: https://scalerc.org.uk/wp-content/up...8ann8tcb4o.jpg Test fit on the cab https://scalerc.org.uk/wp-content/up...aexrfx1y6k.jpg It could be more detailed but i wanted to add parts later. The sizing isn't true scale but there's space constraints on the place, there's the 540 and the servo over there I'm scratchbuilding some parts, already did the exhaust manifold, turbo, alternator and an engine driven air compressor for the onboard tank First, exhaust manifold, turbo and an alternator https://farm1.staticflickr.com/909/2...035887af_c.jpg Then, the intake manifold https://farm1.staticflickr.com/944/4...91284674_c.jpg The engine driven air compressor for the onboard air tank https://farm1.staticflickr.com/828/4...52b4315b_c.jpg Injector lines https://farm1.staticflickr.com/954/4...07b11be6_c.jpg Turbo Downpipe https://farm1.staticflickr.com/973/4...0e5ebc4f_c.jpg In place [IMG]https://farm1.staticflickr.com/953/2...79a10fa3_c.jpg[/IMG] |
