Pete 367 in brass

[Timmy]

Thanks sneaky-Pete. I want to do something different, and brass or metal shaping doesn't bug me, it's what I do. I hope I can just do what everyone else here does. Any suggestions are more then welcome.
I'm thinking I'm going to rebuild the hood out of brass, what do you think?

Tim this is a really cool build. If your looking fro some scale rivets/huck fasteners, try scale hardware. They have what you need!

So I've got some new pics of the cab, I hope you all enjoy. If anyone has questions or suggestions, feel free to post

I wanted to avoid solder on the outside, but sometimes it's unavoidable

The seam at the back, it's going to need some metal finishing

This is where I prefer to have the solder, less clean up and pretty much hidden

Just a small overview

And this is generally how it should sit on my frame, of which I really need to start working on lol. Should hopefully finish up the front skins tonight, and start the form for the roof.
Hope you guys enjoy

I see! You made dimples for rivets. Good idea!

Wow this is the first time for me to see something built out of brass from the start. I think i may be learning something new by watching this build. Great work i can't wait to see more

I havet had much chance to work on the truck lately, but I did start the roof. Probably the most complex piece, but I have confidence, let's see how it turns out.

The foam form

It's not perfect, but it's just the form for the brass

And I always make a card stock form

It makes it far easier to cut and form the brass with a general idea of where to cut and bend the brass
I should have some new picks later today, here's hoping anyway

Wow Timmy, I can tell that you have spent a ton of time into this project. As someone else stated you def. have ballz to do a project of this complexity. I half to agree w/ you about the roof. It is probally the hardest panel to form w/ its dome shaping, very challenging. Keep it up man looks really great
