Default Re: 1930s dumptruck - Nylint

Anyway,


What's that?






I gotta say the Coal & Gravel truck did pretty well.

Get loaded outta your mind

Since i don't have a flat dumpbody with a tailboard, I learned that the bed will leave a roll of material at the transition.
I can't complain about how she did in the crumb rubber. I think it looked and performed as expected!

Needs wiring dressed, battery connector upgraded to Deans, antenna holders installed, esc switch mounted, glass & interior reinstalled...

Between some Dumptruck and Loader threads, I got to wondering what size is a scaled "Yard" of material.
Thought it might be fun to eventually make a Yard Scoop, so 3 foot cube, 36"
1/12 cube 3"
1/14 cube 2.571"
1/16 cube 2.250"

It's still scale, and i play fairly well with others, most of the time...
