http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7920d1a0.jpg

http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...pse2bd1883.jpg

then i decided to say screw it and see what I can really push my 3d printer to do so I took on making EVERY single detail on the truck with the printer and it came out FANTASTIC
from mirrors, to brackets, to vents to light buckets

Wow, I like the paint scheme. The cab turned out great. I like all the little detail touches. Awesome! Good luck drilling those little holes for the visor. Drilling holes that small in aluminum isn't as easy as you'd think. Been there, done that. Take your time!
