Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
Welcome Elberto...This truck looks great...Your BEAST build just blows me away....Just awesome!!:D:D

Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
What a superb build! Really detailed with a very nice finishing touch. I want to make that kind of low boy with a bruder trailer I already bought some time ago and yours is one of the best looking one I saw to date. I'll probably steal some design ideas... Your painting result is amazing, particularly for a "first time airbrushing" :eek:
If I can ask a question, where was that meeting? It seem to bee a permanent installation, it must be in Europe ;) is it open to public? Anyway, great job so far! |
Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
guys, thanks for your first comments. there are several things i would have improved, but the overall result is not that bad.
the location where the pics were made is a mini trucker area here in switzerland yes. everybody is welcome :-) |
Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
btw
here's a small inhouse test video i took to check if all the functions on the truck are working http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIFCKfWTRFc |
Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
WOW! Nice video, lots of flashing lights.
Well done.. Alan |
Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
Wow, if the super hero, Green Hornet drove over the road trucks, this is what his ride would like! Very unique.
|
Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
Nice work! The truck came out great. That body kit is very nice, who makes it? The tires from Conrad look great on the bruder loader conversion. All around great work.

Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
WOW

Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
where did you get the orange rotator light on the ramps?
|
Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
Hi cbazq271, those "orange rotator light on the ramps" look like Pistenking beacons if I am right, look a this thread http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...read.php?t=157 page 4 truck tech. these afew builds on here that use them including FGD
If I'm wrong someone can remove this post..... Cheers Tracy |
Re: Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader
yes it is the pisten king rotator light. they're quite expensive bit they're worth their money i think.
