I was asked by a friend of mine if i could make him a full length roofrack for his new Hilux Bodied Rc4wd Trailfinder Truck. Couldn't really say no! So I Brazed up some Brass made all the scale accesories you see in the picture out of styrene from scratch. Here's some pics hope he likes it:-P    |

The propane tank and cooler are awesome! You know your way around styrene that is for sure!

 I really like the tackle box, great added touch! Do you have a "how to" for the propane tank? -Tim | |

| Some pics of the completed Truck.
Here are some shots of the finished rig with the rack in place, The Chassis is the RC4wd Trailfinder With Hilux Body and all the Scale bits were done by me. Really looks the part.    |

I love Styrene and it appears that you do as well! Great job on all of that! Is brazing brass better than soldering it? I ask because I am about to solder up a tire carrier and was wondering if I should braze it? THX

Brazing Is Stronger, Soldering is okay for cosmetic Pieces. | |
