FRV new project
so the boys at Frigid River Ventures towing and repairs needed a new tow truck but there was not a lot of money but there was a lot of parts lying around the wrecking yard next door so they got at it
then a wife showed up and that was the end |

Re: FRV new project
Is that a "scale" 1/10 scale Freightliner Cenrury Class on the floor? A lot of nice detail to look at!

Re: FRV new project
So it's 1/32 scale in 1:1 but I was trying to figure out what it is in the diorama based on comparing it to the other stuff I'd figure it to be about 1/10th maybe?

Re: FRV new project update
not really a build thread cause I am bad with picture taking while I build so here is where the boys are at
cut the body apart and tilt the cab added the back of the cab detail check the boom assembly placement welded up the cracks in the cab mount the wrecker deck on the chassis and get the boom mounting figured out and there is where the boys are now |

Re: FRV new project
the back of the deck is to far from the ground so it need a filler
just random progress shots from here another day gone but on another note I got all the electrics figured out and the new rx bound to my tx |
