bigdogrod is on a distinguished road
Default new project - 2 straight tank trucks

got an unfinished project tamiya tanker that was cut into 2 pieces, about 60/40 split, settled on the knight hauler to transform into a day cab.

started with 2 fresh cabs and got the dremel multi max out for surgery



cut the cabs right at the stack mounts, and the back wall just before the fairing notch, then took about 1/2 inch from the width. taped it all back up and voila'



started setting up the first frame, thinking 2 rear driven axles and 1 lift




then set up the longer tank, 4 driven axles looks a bit much, might try 3 and the lift





that's it so far, more rails to arrive today, still need a pile more parts, and trying to find shapeways lift axle, doesn't seem to be available anymore.

aiming for something like this:
