I'll see how sick of body work I am when I'm done. It might be an 8-month wait, though! Thanks for the compliment!


I wanted to show that I am still working on this build, in bursts.

First I hit the fenders with some putty and primer:





I also started working with some brass! I'm planning on a dump system similar to Lostinoz's Scania dump truck: http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...ead.php?t=6152

I will try a different hinge, and mounting system, but his build inspired this brass structure.







Not the finest, but the fact that it fit on the frame perfectly at both ends blew me away. Measured 64 mm, soldered, and measured 62 mm. Magic!

I have another shipment of brass coming soon, and only a few scars!

I also relocated that On/Off switch plate, because of all the empty screw-holes! I hope it can fit with the brass structure at the end.

I'm thinking a screw-drive for this one, but that will be a whole other matter entirely.

I'm going to go slap some mud flaps on this thing! Get it up to code.

Let me know what you think, and any brass-working tips are appreciated!
