Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL
These D- wheels are a plastic front face and treadwidth with a glued on tire. The inner sidewall just hangs out in the air. They're cheap, rubber tread, narrower that the C- wheels, and stamped...

Re: What's everyone been working on?
Ethan, I know there are some pretty cool conveyers around here to reference, in both conversions and scratchbuilds. Downside is many seem to be hidden in other build threads, or have some kind of odd...

Re: Ram Build
I'm digging the quad cab Ram and especially that tandem trailer.
Some styrene sheet in like 0.040" or 0.060" would probably be about right for filling those chassis holes back in. Either solvent...

Thanks tommy. With a lot of customs ya either get it, or not. I think this is one that can't be explained. 'Whose on first' seemed to fit.

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder
For bruder Cats i mostly like the looks of that Constuction yellow, but i'd add a step after printing to do a Wash or Drybrush of some grime or rusty colors onto the part.

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
So with the FS-I6X, i'm assuming you still have a menu for setting 'End Point Adjustments' like the fs-i6?
If so, you can back off the servo throws to a lower percent of travel to keep from having...

Toyota mini-truckin - WPL
A while back a guy needed some WPL axles for a custom Dodge Tradesman van, but a set of axles alone with some metal guts weren't all that much cheaper than a whole C24 kit. Ok, guess I like blue a...

Re: VW bay-window transporter

Re: Noobie from SE Gippsland
Welcome, it'd be cool to see some of your wpl stuff and progress on the CA10.
Maybe something like a kingkong rc CA30 with a 5th wheel instead of bed might work for you? (Studebaker us6 / Zil 150)...

I ment more like the 'testors decal paper' with an inkjet printer. I know it's only in white or clear, so it might not work well with the light stripe on dark body. Possibly some fine white gel pen...

I'm not into trucks enough to really notice mirrors being specific styles.

For super-single steers, probably consider making a set of cut&shuts? You'll need some Rubberized CA glue normally used for mounting racecar tires. I'd take off the parting line tread block, and...
