Sorry for the globbed up intro/spec list. First time using tapatalk and it kinda just clumped it together?

I added what stickers I had to the dash.

Also made a bit of a cover/ center console

Still waiting on a few things to dry.
Also I still need to make new front fender wells. The ones that are on currently are to small. They were for my pinched dingo.

Also on the upcoming list,
Seats
lights
Winch
Braze front bumper on most likely

Made a storage box/ fuel cell dealio a while back. Had to mount it vertically to accommodate the rear fender wells.

And a couple old action shots

Small update. I was going to pick up some grey wraith seats, but I had some left over styrene so I decided to try to make some.

Still waiting for some things to dry before I install the seats.

I also attempted to make some sort of an exhaust. Ended up with this piece of tail pipe bolted to the frame.

I also made a bigger transmission hump dealio as well.

Any suggestions, questions or comments are welcome

 

[mrkrinkle]

Thanks I appreciate it!

I got the seats installed yesterday. Happy with the outcome, just need to figure out a better way to mount. There currently glued to a cork and cap that's velcroed to the boat sides.
Any suggestions on this are appreciated.

Went a little trail run yesterday and broke them in already.

I originally painted the outside of the body green and the inside silver and copper. Its starting to show signs of wheeling.

Nice work on all the details. Like the seats too."thumbsup"

 

[mrkrinkle]

Thank you! To be honest I designed them off the f toy seats

This is a good looking piece you have here. I love the low slung stance and look forward to your updates. Keep up the good work"thumbsup"

I like this build alot. Its simple and to the point. I bet it works very well! I will be shamelessly borrowing some of your ideas on my truck:mrgreen:

 

[matt_22]

Awesome good work !

 

[mrkrinkle]

Thanks guys! It performs very well. I might try out some different tire foams this spring and limit the shocks a very small amount. But other than that its very predictable and has a nice cog. Thanks again for the kind words

Haven't had much time nor money to spend on this thing lately.. I did however have some free time this afternoon and decided to make a new fuel cell. I also made a skid plate to protect against punctures on the trail.

I plan on painting the skid plate black but all I had left was primer grey. It will do for now.

I decided to add some scale bolts for a little more detail.

I had to trim up the rear bumper for the skid and fuel cell.

Just waiting on the paint to dry on the fuel cell. Should have things buttoned up tonight or tomorrow. More pics to come.

new rear bumper is on the upcoming list.

 

[Sul]

Nice work! I really like the detail.

Came home to dry paint and installed the fuel cell. I still need to get some tubing to run to the tank. I had a bit of nitro fuel tubing but it's purple ha. Also I still need to paint the skid plate black.
