Globe Liner Old school
 
Hey Guys,
well I want to show you my new Globe Liner. I´ve built the truck the last weeks.
First of all, I thought how I could change the front, especially the Grill and, most important, the lights!!

So I ordered the Grill from rc4wd, but this one just matches for the King Hauler, so this one goes to EBay. As you can see, I got me the bedlock rims, really like them!
And I got me the Lights from Wedico, that makes a better look!

So I started up with cutting the original Grill, using that one:

Then I closed the Old Lights an put the new ones in position:

After that I added some plastic to the sides of the grill, just to make it look a little better.

Just to change the look a little more, I got me a front bumper form rigid rc, already with the holes for the LED´s drilled.

Then I started with painting the Body. I looked at quite a lot of pics in the net, to get some inspiration. Finally, I decided to paint the Globe in three colours.

First I mixed Tamiya white and chrome silver 1:1 and yused this as the base.
Then came the dark blue from Tamiya, mixed with a little bit gold.

Finally I sprayed some light blue, also mixed with a little bit of gold. Finished it now looks like this:

I also echxanged all the brass bearings to balbearings, the motor is a Carson poison truck. In the truck works a servonaut S20 speedcontroller and the Servonaut ML4 for the lights.

After I did all the wiring yesterday, the Globe was ready for the first drive outside. With a little delay, I forgot the resistor at the LED´s on the back, so they had to be replaced.......

Now some small things still need to be done, like the interior, but then this one is ready for the road!!

Hi, Nice Globe. I like the color combination. Looks great.

Nice color scheme. The undercut area for the headlights looks ok too - kinda thought it would look funky - but not too bad.
