Hard Folding Tonneau Cover

[hoyt]

For some unknown reason the idea of building a tonneau cover got stuck in my head. Since i have a hilux build not going anywhere fast i figured it was a good platform to go off of. Eventhough they probably dont even make them for the 1:1 lol. Any ways after searching and googling I decided to try my hand at a hard folding cover. I could not find any attempts of one here on RCC other then regular flat ones. So if u know of one please point it out. I would like to see how it was made.

Anyways just looking for some opinions on the scaleness of it and if ya think its a keeper or light it on fire kind of attempt. I tried to keep it nice and streamlined like the real ones. I would probably do a couple things different the second time around. The whole folding part isnt really scale but it was what i came up with for ease. Once the truck is painted it will be held down with thin strips of velcro.

I did take pics while building and will post them up later.
