Re: mack granit flat bed
Do you want to keep the colour or will it be changed ?
|
Re: mack granit flat bed
In my german boards lots of bruder conversions are made and I often read that the scale is "something in the near of 1/16". Bruder is not a real friend of a continously scale.

Re: mack granit flat bed
I like your idea for frame rails. LOTS cheaper than mine, a COMPLETE King Hauler frame.
Do you have pics of the finished build? |
Re: mack granit flat bed
I'd love to see pics showing the up close details of how you mounted the cab to the frame rails.
