Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build

The body work is far from spectacular but for my first time I have decided it is acceptable. I have begun taping off the paint scheme for the second color. The white paint may look dull but that's...

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build

These bolt right up to existing holes. They are very nice and include lenses for the tail lights. I recommend them.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build

Added the fifth wheel. This unit is really impressive, a lot more scale and detailed than I expected. Worth the $100.00 in my opinion.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build

I am probably going to buy red transparent decal film and cover them to look like lights, I am not sure what else I can do lol. I wish plastic clear lenses were included but they are not.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build

I need to clean up the rails around the edges on this light cluster but I am not sure what I am going to do yet.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build

Axles installed on the frame. Only the frame and axles are painted, all of the suspension parts are not painted. I chose this because the paint on the suspension parts often cracks and flakes.

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build
