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!! http://imageshack.us/a/img194/5270/b767.jpg 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: http://imageshack.us/a/img443/2069/hnq5.jpg Then I closed the Old Lights an put the new ones in position: http://imageshack.us/a/img201/7742/xzez.jpg After that I added some plastic to the sides of the grill, just to make it look a little better. http://imageshack.us/a/img6/6528/fpt9.jpg 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. http://imageshack.us/a/img845/971/uxm2.jpg 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. http://imageshack.us/a/img208/3525/sdpd.jpg 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. http://imageshack.us/a/img703/84/t0vd.jpg Finally I sprayed some light blue, also mixed with a little bit of gold. Finished it now looks like this: http://imageshack.us/a/img440/9785/vh92.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img820/7717/peui.jpg 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....... http://imageshack.us/a/img843/561/ps0w.jpg Now some small things still need to be done, like the interior, but then this one is ready for the road!! |

Re: Globe Liner Old school
Hi, Nice Globe. I like the color combination. Looks great.

Re: Globe Liner Old school
Nice color scheme. The undercut area for the headlights looks ok too - kinda thought it would look funky - but not too bad.
