looks good dave not that I could ever build one I was just wonder what material you use for the fake tubing and how do you bend it to make it so clean...
Mike , i use a product made my plastruct www.plastruct.com they have a ton of plastic model making stuff to pick from.
I do all the bending by hand and eye.
Where do you get the tires and all the small miscellaneous parts that make it look so real? For example the back of the cab has the ridges and grooves that real trucks have. How do you make those? Your work is superb!
Most of all the parts i use are from other model kits like the lights , tires wheels, seats .
All the cage work as well as the suspension , shocks , coilovers , fenders, a-arms , beams, 3/4links and what have you i make them out of scratch. The body lines and that kind of stuff come on the basic model kits.
The model kits or scale i use is 1/24th scale i like this scale do to the amount of parts/kits that are made in this scale ..... rally car model kits become your best friend when making any off road model
do to the detailed parts that comes in the kit.
Model's like TT's,protrucks,rails, and buggies on the other hand are all scratch built.
