Great scale curb appeal with that body to be sure, especially with that color. It'll look even better once you get past the work-in-progress appearance of the bare rear frame. Top notch work throughout! Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk |

That's high praise, probably not deserved, but certainly appreciated! Quote:
Back to the updates. Now I really don't have long until GCM Adventure Series, so it was on to some of the essential details. You may have noticed the bumper strips in the outdoor pix: I made these from leather lace from the crafts store. It just happens to be the perfect size and looks just like rubber. Side marker lights: How about a glove box latch made from epoxy modeling putty: While I had the modeling putty out, I had a go at some shifters (modeling putty for the bases and knobs, music wire and styrene for the rods): With painted and weathered knobs: I was hoping to have time to do a center console with A/C vents, but that will have to wait. I will get the n00b fenders mounted and do a temporary mount of the flatbed before the weekend, and then she'll be ready to hit the trails. Can't wait for the weekend to get here...! | ||

| Re: The long-awaited LWB TF2 by new2rocks Thanks. The encouragement I can offer is that I couldn't have done this 2 years ago, and there are plenty of people whose skills are far beyond mine. Just keep plugging away and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Quote:
Here's the latest update. I was finally able to get it out for some extended action while getting ready for the RC4WD Uwharrie #tinytrucks Challenge. The truck did great, especially as the leafs started to break in (which didn't take long). The suspension is very stable and predictable, and the overall performance is a pleasant surprise. The biggest performance issue is steering (no surprises there), so it won't be long before a set of NCYotas shows up. Here's a quick video I put together: I still have work to do on the flat bed and the engine bay. But until I have time to get to those, I'm going to have fun wheeling this sweet rig!

Look what I ran into at the RC4WD Uwharrie #tinytrucks Challenge yesterday: Let's see how those seats compare to the real thing... I think that works! |
