Yah, that's what happened to my sleeper cap. I'm going to have to sand it down and start over. I'm going to try using a sealer primer over the high build primer as a last step before I paint it this time. Hopefully that will stop it from happening!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

it only happened with 1 of my 5 hoods

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

Looking good, I'll be watching this one..

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

Outstanding! I've been away from the hobby for quite a while, I'm amazed at these 3d printed cabs, looking forward to seeing the finished article!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

So I've been working on it here and there. Actually I've got quite a few little updates. So where do I start?! LOL!

The cab and sleeper are painted! I made door handles out of stainless steel.

I used stainless steel to make side window visors and the strip that goes across the bottom of the cab. And the elephant ears for the hood.

I also got a grill and a few other goodies from Russisloud at True Scale! The coolest is this prototype air ride steer axle setup!

And I had to get a couple of shots of the truck outside in the sun!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

And I hooked up the visor and the front bumper lights for a test run. Is it just me or does this truck seem mad? Lol!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

Oh! Here's a shout out of thanks to Fabone for letting me park the truck in front of his RC4WD Lowboy for a couple pics! Although I'm still bummed that he wouldn't sell the trailer to me! Sigh....

Jesse-

Looking GOOD!

I didn't think you were really serious about the lowboy! But it would look good for hauling a JD combine! :Dlol

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

LOL! I'd've given you cash for it when I was there! Oh well I'll get one when they become available again. By the way, those Oversized banners are in stock at R.P.P.! Better hurry!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

Truck looking good looks just like K&lol chrome

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

really nice lowboy hauler!!!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

Love the truck. Where'd you get your fuel tank brackets and straps from? Thanks!!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

Thank you!:)

The tanks and "J" hook mounts came from True Scale RC. The straps are from Garden Trucking and were cut down to fit the way I needed them to.

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

By the way.... That trailer in the picture is mine now! WOOHOO! Thank you FabOne! I also received my new Big Farm, John Deer Combine today!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L
 

Ok, W900L 2.0!

I've changed out the rails to a set from IHB.
I'm now using True Scale RC air suspension all the way around.
All of the hardware is scale bolts.
I'm using a modified rear bumper that matches the one on the back, in front of the drive tires.
I got ahold of one of True Scales one piece fuel tank mounts for the rearmost mount for my tanks.
I'm now using 6" tanks with 3 straps. (The way it would be on a real truck)
I got a new front bumper that matches the rear bumper.
All of the holes are drilled and ready to start installing the multitude of 1.8mm LED's.
The hood has been painted pearl white. I still need to paint the fenders blue.
OH! and I decided to go with a fixed mount fifth wheel instead of the one that looks like a slider.

I think that's it! LOL! On to the pictures!

What sucks is that now I have to take it all apart AGAIN to paint the rails and install the LED's! Sigh....
