In your go pro you can change the settings from wide angle to normal. Just google it. Its taking forever to upload because its full HD video so set the video quality in settings to 480 or 720 with a low ghz. Look for this on google also because I can't explain it well Have fun with your new camera.

Lol. Hey, that gives me an idea. I guess I need to buy a car and do it up as a DOT cop car and have Susan chase me around the road or put up a road block. Lol.
Another thing on my to do list. I have to install the D rings and load binders I bought for the flat deck .

Thanks Joe. I definitely want to get rid of the wide angle thing but I want to maintain video quality and sharpness. Gonna do a few test videos at lower settings and see how much of a difference it makes and go from there.
It is a cool little camera, all kinds of potential for this thing

Thanks Jimmy, I've never seen this before and your absolutely right. That truck is the king of bling for sure! I think it looks great and the painted fenders and sleeper roof are a nice contrast.
Thanks for sharing

Your new place looks like you have a lot of room to play and work. I like the puzzle box a lot looks like a great idea for a portable workplace.

[Trucker_Jo]

Hey everything looks great! I have a verision of that clam-bucket crane and thats what im rebuilding into a yarder haha. I like your work area.

Thanks Ryman, the puzzle box has been a great portable workplace. Built two trucks on it in the kitchen so far!
I guess you could say I've grown attached to it and will use anywhere I can

It was about 2 months ago I was crying the blues about winter coming and not being able to build or play..... funny how quick life can change!
Today, I am very, very pleased to say " LET THE WINTER BUILDING BEGIN!" . Life is normal now, enough boxes have been unpacked , shelves put up, furniture moved... Today I began a new build in the new house















What I realized as I assembled this so far, the box fits perfect! no file or tweaking required Installed in minutes!....not bad considered it was built 2,000 miles away and yet fits my truck like a glove

All of a sudden....winter don't suck so bad

thanks for looking.

Mario.

Thanks Izzy. Of course all credit goes to Reg on this one

Its official!! today was the first time I cut up my first cab! 2 years into the hobby and finally hackin plastic!
I cut the sleeper off the original cab that Susans truck started as before the black passion makeover.
Im liking the look so far.... going to be a black Kenworth to go with Sues pete.
Next build is Cassidys globe liner which will be silver or grey to go with King of bling.









Thanks for looking, all comments welcome.

Looks like it's taking shape! What parts do you need now to keep moving forward?

Was missing spindles, king pins and the front crossmember. Thanks to a forum member, looks like he has what I need so looks like the spare parts truck build is full steam ahead!

Loving every minute Reg! so much I have another project that may require your services... Hows about a service truck body perhaps? I have zero experience with styrene and you are a master of metal so....

thanks Brian. The Pete is definitely my crown jewel build.......For now!




Small update on the dump truck.
Staying with the work truck theme instead of show stopper. Im trying the look of some black light bezels from Russ for this build and had a chance to check out the look on the truck. I love them! . installed on the tail plate they look like the rubber mounted lights on a work truck. Planning on installing some on the box side corners also.














Thanks for looking. Comments, suggestions and ideas always welcome!

Looks great! What are ur plans for stacks?

[Kaf343]

Looking Mario, very nice work.

[RCP57]

Nice job on the lights in the bumper!

Service truck??? You already know I'm in! Maybe we can build two! I have a fleet of equipment with no mechanic....
