Where did the roof markers come from ? Mike

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build
 

That is looking pretty cool.

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build
 

Cool!! I've seen the cab. That dealer has a beautiful K100 for sale, if I remember correctly. How is the cab and print quality? Do you need to sand it a lot?

Cheers

Pip

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build
 

thanks ..love the vintage and classic stuff and excited to build it in 1/14 scale thanks to the age of 3d printing :D

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build
 

Keeping an eye on this build great work so far! I like how the cab sits low on the frame :cool:

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build
 

That is going to be a really nice old school rig. Is that the trailer for it? Looks pretty good being pulled by that truck.

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build
 

What brand printer was used and what program are you running

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build

But never seen a bug deflector that short on a 1-1 before...........

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build
 

just a straight powder blue colour ..stock tractor for this one ..the 75 transtar will be a custom job:)

Re: 1966 Ford T850 Build
 

yea old school style before the ones that were the width of the hood ..these were a fashion statement back in the days and was considered a "custom look"
