Some of you might have seen the mog body I have been messing around with in the body / paint section. well I have rounded up some more stuff for it so I am starting a build thread for it here. The original idea was to stretch the mog body a bit to fit a spare Diaz chassis I had laying around. Making it a unimog 416 instead of a 406 
... I know I know Mogs arent leaf spring rigs but whatever its just for fun. and I might swap it out with a home made chassis later. Anyways on to some pics.
I started out hacking off the bed of the mog body and ataching a styrene drop bed
started adding some detail.. still need to sand / clean everything up
Here is the diaz chassis I had from another build
The tranny hangs down a bit to much so I made a skid for it. its a reversed r2 dig for 2wd - 4wd operation.
Narrowed and reduced imex g-hawgs (now MEX G-hawgs) I had them forever but whoever narrowed them did a pretty poor job I just reduced them to 1.9
Sweet mog-ish aluminum rims
Next Ill mock it up as a roller .. Im working on some rear fenders and finishing up the bed so I can atart to paint it. Im painting the whole thing on the outside but im still not sure as to the best paint to use. Im wondering if lexan paint will work well on the styrene bed. .. I wanted to paint it a sandy color but the can I got of it is tamiya paint for plastics not lexan so I dont think I can use it on the cab .. anyone have experience with the best paints to use in this situation?
