Default Green Globe First Build

Here is my first build. The plan is to go basic at first and build on it from there as I have time.

The Globe arrived this past April. And the fun began.


Thank you Tower Hobbies.




Time to take over the dining room table.


Setting up the work area. My wife will never miss just one muffin pan.


Putting the muffin pan to good use.


Getting the build started.




More pics coming soon!

I like the muffin pan idea too. I bought a fishing box because it has a lid, and I need that. It saved me more than once Keep the pics coming, always like to see new builds.

I got the muffin pan idea from some of the guys here on the forum. It is really handy. It would be good if there was a lid that would contain the fasteners in case of a spill.

Moving along.

The rear axles.



Wheel assembly. The small magnetic tray worked great.


The front suspension.




And the gearbox


I went with a 55 Turn Motor. I have ordered a 6T pinion gear. In the meantime I will use the stock pinion gear.



Adding the stock fuel tanks.


Next step is paint. What color should I make it? I trolled through many photos online and used this great looking KW for my color inspiration.


More photos later, with paint!

Wow that is a beautiful truck. I don't think my first build will look like that! I do plan on making changes over time to the basic build. I need to figure out the best way to add stripe and graphics. Thanks 1strodeo for sharing!

Saran wrap is good for a lid it will at least keep it all in the pan, mixed up but in the pan.

I like that long green K100. A bit of a different shade that what is normally used. Is that the color you are looking at using? Would make your truck different and stand out. The color of your magnet tray is a cool shade too.

The color closer to the magnetic tray. I chose what was available at the local hobby store.

Thanks Diesel Demond. I was trying to go with a color you don't see much of. Just to be a bit different.

Thanks Animal. I have been inspired as well by the builds I see on here. I am excited to get it finished for Indy 2015!

janderson, I like elements of each one of the trucks. I really like the paint scheme of the second truck but also like the simplicity of the first one. I will probably take ideas from many sources.
