F-350 Shop Truck
 

I started this build around the same time I started my yard jockey build and like many others, just sat on the shelf for a very long time.... I dont recall what brand RC it came from but I had to donor bodies that just so happened to scale perfectly with 1/14 scale and werent as huge as tamiya's 1/10 scale ford, so I hacked the 2 bodies and made one... its pretty much all done just needs some small detail work and a custom hitch to pull the beautiful tag trailer Keith made me. Then ill make a custom goose neck trailer to haul my race truck and the set will be complete.:D

Like the PU the colours are real neat , there is a const company in eastern Ontario called Tackaberry Construction with almost the same color scheme ! And he is a huge 1:1 truck collector . Mike

TONY

Re: F-350 Shop Truck
 

this is a great idea. His own head scan and put on a brother figure. :thinking::thinking::thinking: :bounce::bounce::bounce:

Manfred

Re: F-350 Shop Truck
 

Great improvement on a mini Keith............he might like orange shirt......!!!???

Re: F-350 Shop Truck
 

lol yes indeed..

Thanks Tony, it was kinda awkward to look up on my shelf an see "Keith" starring at me lol...

yea just a quick option to make a pose able figure...

Lol if we paint his shirt orange he would blend into the equipment, we cant have that for safety reasons ;) lol:cop:

Re: F-350 Shop Truck
 

Since you are the detail king, I gotta knock one detail on this outstanding build: the fifth wheel. Can you get the 3D printer going on a scale pickup style fifth wheel? King pin could be the same diameter, just smaller plate size.

Yep, that's my $0.02 :D

Re: F-350 Shop Truck
 

lmfao, you know i said the same thing to myself, especially when i pulled a random guy over just to take pic of his pick up fifth wheel... I told myself this build was going to be simple, but it seems no matter what I do, I end up just doing more then I said I would.... thanks for your .02 cents bud, im going to turn around and make a nickel out of it :lol::D

Re: F-350 Shop Truck
 

any updates to this build . it was killer to see it come together

Re: F-350 Shop Truck
 

Wow!
