Great work with the printer. The possibilities are endless! What a great time to be in the hobby and see new tools like this

Thanks Mario! Well, I thought she was done, but mother nature had other plans for the truck. Since I had to take it all apart anyway I figured what the ****, might as well add a few more goodies

This remake wasn't planned, I swear! Thanks Nathan


Just a small update today. Spent the weekend making some mirrors. I couldn't stand the stock KH mirror mounts, so I got to looking at Peterbilt ones. I looked up the ScaleArt mirrors and couldn't bring myself to buy them and then wait almost a month to get them. My mirrors aren't anything special, but I spent $6 on supplies, so the price was right I think I'm going to make some new mirrors as well. I think if I polish some aluminum I can get close enough to a mirror finish. I'm going to give the smaller round mirror a shot too. I was wondering if I should try and get them chromed or just paint them to match the truck? We need some simple chroming options. I need to look at some real trucks to see if mine are too wide or not. Let me know what you guys think

This is what I based mine off of:



Took a few pictures of the building process....
