Re: Oshkosh P-series
Now this is a great build! You have the look and nice work on the hood. There is one of these trucks that has been fully restored that goes to a big truck show I go to every where the guy brings it in on his lowboy here are the picks.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
Good subject Ben! looks really good. :cool:
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
That looks great! Nice tires and rims. Are they from Fechtner or AFV? Did you have any problems getting them.
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Totally awesome! I'm a fan of these Oshkosh trucks too! Something built in my home state that I can feel good about! They are really amazing machines! You've got my full attention. You certainly are off to an excellent start. Watch Despicable Me, recently? :D

Re: Oshkosh P-series
TC: Thank you Sir. Boy I'd love to have that guys truck. I never see any like that for sale, what do you think that would sell for?
Spudd, SW, skl1cent, russ, smallhaul : Thanks Dreamweaver: I made a mold/pattern/jig heated the styrene with a torch and bam! Boy was I happy with that and now tickled I did something that puzzles the masters. hehehe rcman, vanisle: the tires and rims are from AFV, I am going to need some custom hub adaptors for them though. No problems got them pretty quickly. Nathan: the kids had been watching the movie when I was working on the cab, they liked that a lot! |
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Looks good! Can't wait for more! :D
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Nice start!!! Now you will have to make a wheel loader or excavator to load it.
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
thanks but im not familiar with afv do you have a link?
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Great build You are going to have to give me a lesson on styrine, WOW
What glue do you use and what did you find as the best way to cut it ? greg |
Re: Oshkosh P-series
I am by far an amateur with styrene. The only other thing I've done with it is my 535 cab. I use Bondene ("glue") a utility knife and a Zona saw.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
It's about the same. Just added some axles and my custom cross members (no,no,no those aren't available for sale-hehehe lol) Waiting for a few (cross members) from my friend near the big water fall. This is a fun one for me to work on.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
Thanks guys. I am trying to figure out how to work all the steering around the suspension and drive-line components.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
Moving slowly on this build too. I'm trying to get it right.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
thats sweet Ben ;) glad they worked out for you :D
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
This truck kills it, will be so cool and a very unique model when finished.
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Cool.... Are thOSS tires and axles from rc4wd
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
No. The tires are from AFV and the axles are modified TLT's.
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
I was finally able to operate the P-series tonight, low n' slow and high gear is just right. The crab steer is pretty sweet too, it'll turn a tight corner. I still need a drive shaft for the rear end to get all six wheels "pulling". I've got a nice custom grill now. Fab'd up a battery box, steps, fuel tank and worked in some air tanks from Brian. It's coming along good.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
very different truck, lookin good
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Ben,you are a shameless teaser. :p
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Ben, the truck looks great! It was nice to see the truck in person and to meet you at Indy.
Brian |
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Thanks guys! Brian it was nice to meet you too. I will post a few pictures in the coming days. I've completed some more body work.
Ben |
Re: Oshkosh P-series
Yes it was nice to meet you I finally got to see the skidder in person and that thing is one sweet machine and so is this truck very awsome
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
I worked on some door and hood lines last night and today. Previously I massaged the hood to work with the new grill from HeavyMetal, he did a really, really, really nice job! I tried my hand at the battery box, steps and fuel tank. I mounted some air tank blanks under the battery box that I got from Brian in PA, sanded them a little and counter-sunk some screws.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
Did that dealer at indy ever bring in the wider v-plow? He did not bring any of the cummins engines on Sunday. If u need a test site or want to run some equipment in the future pm me. It awesome to meet another hobbyist close to me.
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
I never checked. I will contact him about building a custom one for me. Thanks for the offer.
|
Re: Oshkosh P-series
This thing is lookin good Ben. Nice work on the body.
~Mike~ |
Re: Oshkosh P-series
I have made a bit more progress: tried my own dump bed, magnetic tailgate "hold", steps on the fuel tanks, diamond plate on the battery box, reworked some body/door seams ect and cab lights.
I need to redo my screw drive, it's a bit whopper jawed, not near as nice as what I want it to be. I am anxious (but patient) to get my custom parts that I have ordered from a few fine gentleman here (they will help set it off nicely). http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180869.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180870.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180871.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180872.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180873.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180874.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180875.jpg http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P9180876.jpg Still a bunch of stuff to do, thanks for looking. Ben |
Re: Oshkosh P-series

Re: Oshkosh P-series
