Default Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)

OK so here is how it started.....the first thing I like to do once I have created a CAD/DXF file for a project is to (water jet) cut a simple plywood profile to see what it will look like more or less..LOL...sorry I'm a bit old school and looking at a drawing isn't the same as having a full size part to work with, besides having a simple plywood models gives me something "real" to look at and get ideas from and a 2D drawing doesn't always work the same in a 3D world...LOL

After I have the plywood model cut out I start designing and cutting the metal parts, making changes as the build progresses...most times there is more changes and less progress...LOL...learning all the time !!!

( here is a vid of my first build... A 1/12ish D11 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV596tHo0_o )
