Re: My next build!
This is a VERY,VERY,VERY ROUGH 1st attempt at the headlamps.
I used a scrap block of acrylic,which is hard to work with. Before the bashing on how this looks like crap (and it does) I only have 15 minutes of time in this ROUGH draft,and is nowhere near close to what I hope to come up with.

Re: My next build!
Wow. I would be impressed if I could make something like that with my own hands in a mere 15 mins! Its already better then I ever imagined it could be. Nice work.

Re: My next build!
Hey troy this is only a idea but instead of painting the lights/ grill when finished could you do it with a home Chroming kit ????????
Cheers tracy PS I can see the PM's coming with I want a set of those lights

Re: My next build!
Looks great even at the prototype phase, nice grille too. Troy you are turning into an rc truck building machine! I can't keep up! This is what is great about the builds on this board, no two are alike, everyone puts in their own individual touches

Re: My next build!
Wow,thanks boy's and girl's!
Tracy that body,and grill in the pics is just for mock-up. I am just playing around with this until I get my hands on a real headlamp The one in the pic is to small,and really rough. I hope to get a chance to play tonight..........(my wife is making me pack)

Re: My next build!
I agree that you did a very good job on the lights (and on the grill...) , they look very realistics. Will you use them for the finished product or it's only a try in this material (acrylic)? Does it present some benefits opposed to styrene?
I'm very interested by these lights, it should be a great add-on for my own KH/Peterbilt too . I can't wait to see the final touch!  Gaetan
