The "printed" cab looks even better in person and will just need a light sanding. I would say well worth the cost when you compare it to having a cab built :D

Looking forward to this build, Russ. The 3D printed cabs and hoods are definitely cool. Keep this up and pretty soon you'll be offering your own complete truck kits.

Hello, this looks great :) is it possible for me to buy this cab somewhere, or is it self built? Love the pete truck :)

I don't know what's cooler, the truck or the lamp. : ) It has an awesome stance, especially with the lo pros.. Can't wait to see what color choice you go with.

Re: True Scale - 389
 
what ever happened with this truck??

Claus 03-18-2016 03:23 PM

Re: True Scale - 389
 
Lots, of nice things going on there, is the cab printed or just the hood and fenders?

russisloud 03-18-2016 06:09 PM

Re: True Scale - 389
 
so what happened to the truck...... i never finished it, had someone email me about buying the truck and they wanted to finish it out them self.


Claus - the whole cab was one of our printed ones


I may start posting up builds again, instead of being a closet builder lol!

Re: True Scale - 389
 
And here I was thinking you ran off with the belly dancer...:rolleyes:

Claus 05-13-2016 10:53 PM

Re: True Scale - 389
 
Russ, does the True Scale cab use the Tamiya windshield and floorboard? One of the photos, it doesn't look like the cab has a back wall. What are the differences in the True Scale cab and cutting the sleeper off of a King Hauler cab?
