Default Re: ~1:12 Miller Century M100 Rotator wrecker

As we know from the HEMTT, I tend to make my builds my way, mixing and matching, but since these trucks are bespoke in the real world, this one doesn't so much take liberties. There are some places I had to fudge because the actuators used only come in certain sizes, etc, but I'm hopeful that if someone from Miller looked at this they'd immediately say "Yep, that's an M100. Bit small, but that's one of ours." =))

Anyway, I like me my diamondplate, and that red truck above has front fenders I like, reminds me of a railroad engine.



Printing diamond plate with the Bambu isn't bad, but drawing up the bi-color striped pieces was a challenge. Also has to fiddle with it to make the stripes line up as you go around the corners, and then bevel the insides so they can all glue together nicely.



Front grille has the Kenworth logo, came out okay given that it's scaled down so tiny.



Because diamondplate, and because multi-color printing. Note the auxiliary winch hook on that side is yellow, vs that on the other side is black.
