Supports removed. I might stretch the fenders. They just look short. Going to wait until the next body piece gets done as it might be an illusion.   Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

So a lesson learned. If you think it's going to be close on filiment, switch the roll. Came up an inch Short.   Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

I actually almost flipped the print and stopped it when I get to where the other stopped and glue it. I was worried about the durability of the cab post so I just reprinted it. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk | |

Next section came out perfect.fits together like it should. So far it's looking like my math was correct to get the wheel base I want. Don't mind the axial it's sitting on I just used for mock up.   Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

So I am going to remake the front clip. It is half inch short from what it should be scale wise. I did the math and the front should be 13.6% longer than the door. Door is 5.25 and the front is 5.5, but should be just at 6. Then the front clip should just passed the frame and I can drop it down.

Did the extra length stretch out the wheel well as well? Looks great!

I was having some difficulties with the back section. Come to find out I had a bad driver in the 3d printer. Luckily I had extra. Looks like a scout! I am not looking forward to making the windows. I'm hoping I can get some lexan scraps big enough.   Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk Last edited by mgputer; 12-02-2018 at 06:51 AM. |

So I came across this. This is going to be my plan besides the color, and I don't think I'm going to do the tube door.  Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

Nice job. It's looking really good even in primer. I wish I has the patience to do this kind of stuff.
