Re: KC's commemorative build
update**
decided to make a custom set of single stage foams as this truck is starting to get heavy. so here we go.
step 1:
make a template of the size of your tire.
step 2:
choose foam
step 3:
cut just outside of template. i personally use a razor sharp chefs knife
step 4:
tape the width you want ur foam to be.
then following the tape line all the way round makeing sure to make shallow cuts all the way around a little at a time till you get all the way through. once youve gone all the way around once the foam will guide the knife.
after fully cut
next lay the template back on the block
then using the template to guide the knife edge start trimming
should end up like this
mark the template for center and drill a small hole that a 2mm driver can fit through
center template on foam and push driver into hole
i made a styrene guide to make center hole.
trace a line all the way round using the guide on both sides.
then using a long razor blade cut out center makeing sure to follow the lines.
once cut out put on a rim and place on vehicle(my method) and tape the trigger down. using the blade to shape the foams and get them running true.
once shaped to your likeing simple install and enjoy."thumbsup"

Awesome pics coconuts! Wow, beautiful surroundings! I really need to make it to your part of the world. The build looks great on the rocks. Nice writeup on the foams. Get that gopro going again! I shot some video the other night and got home...No video! I was recording when I thought I wasn't and not recording when I thought I was! DAMMIT!

Thx kila! Yes for tools or whatever scale stuff I wanna toss in... mayb even a dead body lol. The box(and body) when built by richard aka pardonmynoob it was intended as a batt box as it has an access hole passing through box and bed. But I decided to run the batterie a little lower. Not sure where the mirrors are from, they were on the body when I got it from him.

After an hour of trimming around him and making sure to leave a slight black outline her it is on the truck.
I officially have "OLAF" the ugly angel on the hood reflecting the nose art we have on the aircraft. The commanding officers plane has the colored version like this. All the other planes have to be plain with the dark grey.
