|  VMG tuber first try
Here is my MiniGiant tuber. I know its not perfect and it is my first try ever building a tuber. Next one is going to be steel and welded. I have to put some little cosmetic tubes in here and there and paint it .Then switch some mounting spots around on the axles. Its made from brass tubing and some square for the frame rails. I'm open to any opinions so let me have it...   |

What size tubing did you use? It looks good. Are you going to paint it, or was this just a mock up?

Thanks guys not done yet and yes I'm going to paint it. I still haven't picked a color yet so I'm open to any opinions on that. ( I paint cars for a living so any color is available to me.) I think I'm going to put the original tires back on it so it looks more scale for now. PWT I believe its about 1/8" diameter brass tubing. But I'd recomend a steel chassis if you have a welder on tap. Being so small to work with if you get it to hot it'll just all fall apart. I used a propane torch to assemble. |

Looks cool, I have been wanting to do a VMG tuber for a while, but no time! What wheels and tires are those? When I fist looked at it I thought it was yellow, looked good. I think you should go with bright yellow. |

That little thing is sweet. I'm digging the color it is already... So, yellow would be my guess for a good color.
