Well at least I warned you about the silver so I hope it wasn't a total shock. My 1850L Merc is dark-er blue as well. I used black for base.

Truck looks very good in blue as everyone else has said.:cool:;):bounce: I don't know what it is about the European trucks, but they really look good in blue. Good job.:):D:cool:;)

Well, a motivator was getting a basic truck running and testing, so I did that yesterday (finally).

The paint's now on for the main colour (as seen in this photo that was taken on a potato...)

Double post (oops), but more pertinent and relevant progress! Could be done very soon!

Haven't got any trailer combinations yet, so that'll have to arrive later on in this thread at some point. But for now, some play time. :)

Re: Project Gigaspace: First Build
 

Sorry, yet another post in a row, but finally thrilled to say it got to run with other rigs for the first time.

There it is at the back of the queue. Ran around solidly for a little while, but then steering trouble struck. Would fully lock in one direction but not revert back at all. A brains trust got together and worked out that the servo arms were not quite in the right place (that's because I'm a bumnut who skim reads important bits). A few minutes of resetting that bit and... much better! All good again. Another run with a borrowed trailer and, yeah, I call that a win. :)

So have now picked a trailer out and got some good but very affordable vinyls to wrap it in. Job done, time to play properly!
