Re: project motormaster
Eh what? That cab is only temp? All that work! Wow, makes me wonder what the **** the finished one will be like. What is wrong with the cab that you want to redo it? Looks great to me.
Anyway, keep up the good work buddy.

Re: project motormaster
There's some issues with the filler and the way it's put together that I'm not happy with. I'm going to paint this one for the upcoming car show were displaying at then building a new one at a later date

Re: project motormaster
I hear ya on the cab Civic. You won't ever be happy with it if that is the case, so might as well do it the way you want to do it so that it doesn't drive you crazy every time you look at it! LOL!
As for the air cleaners, they look fantastic to me Civic, however, as you are not building a direct replica of a real truck, you have full artistic license here. So to be honest, whatever way you want them to look is in fact the right way. Are you trying to make this movie accurate or is it just movie inspired? That will answer your question, but I think the air cleaners really suit the truck, they have that aggressive shape and stance. Bang on!

Re: project motormaster
If you do want this to be movie accurate, the 1:1 cleaners are barely wider than the intake pipe and the intake pipes are actually quite close to the exhaust stacks. There is also an additional little spoiler that pushes them up to nearly the same height as the stacks. Pic below for reference.
Saying that though, I think I prefer your look, bigger and badder! Totally up to you anyway Civic, this is your own interpretation of Motormaster so do what you prefer. http://www.customrigsmag.com/files/2...b_BWS50521.jpg

Re: project motormaster
Ya I'm not trying to copy any one style, just kind of a mash up of the different versions I've seen around. I'm thinking of installing led lights inside them too so they glow purple through the grill screens

Re: project motormaster
That would be VERY cool, good idea! Maybe one or two inside the cab and in the frame also.

Re: project motormaster
ya im putting a full length purple underglow on the truck, plus all the lights in the bumper, and down both sides of the cab at the bottom will be 3mm purple leds, and the 8 chicken lights on the back will be purple as well. i was thinking about putting one in each top corner of the windsield on the inside as well

Re: project motormaster
well, the parts for my trailer have finally arrived! the cutting and forming are quite nice but the surface finish is horrible not sure what to do, try cleaning them up and polishing them, or painting it? If I paint it I think ill go black (its silver in the cartoons), but I think black will make all the purple lighting pop, especially the side cutouts where the decepticon logo is.
havnt quite got motormaster driveable yet so ol prime had to step in and do the first test pull of the trailer! |

Re: project motormaster
Now that trailer is serious!! I love it. Looks good and heavy too.
I have to agree with the black and purple, that would look nice and evil, but slick at the same time. Awesome work Civic, always impressive.
