King Hauler Daycab on Volvo FH12 Chassis

[Snowman]

Hey I spotted those mirrors a while back on the modellbau berlin site, keep meaning to get them. They look really good.

[Papabaer]

So guys here are the picture i have promise you:

The mirror holder at the cab:







I thing its loocking realy "fat"

After my easter holidays, i found some time to build new details:

My selfmade batteriebox on the driversite (to put in main switch and load sockets):



...with folding function:



My pressure air chamber on the shotgunsite. Its from the Volvo FH12 and i spend him a inlet to the brakes ;



Driver- and Shotgunsite in profile:

That's a slick looking truck! I like all the small details you put on it. Keep up the great work!

[Papabaer]

Thanks will

Guys i need your help.

Actually i want to paint my cab black with the wolferine airbrush on the backsite:



But know i am sitting in front of my Truck and see this red chassic and the nearly white cab. At the moment i have a idea of an oldscool painting like this one:



But my coulors are white at the ground and for the tender and the roof darkblue.

And on the backsite this one:



At the moment is the "Texas Outlaw" my favorite, because the rustical style of this fits better to the style of the rig.


but what do you think? "Wolferine" or "Texas Outlaw"?

[mazdaparts]

The wolverine is cool, but I'd go with the classic rebel flag. I think it will fit the overall theme and style of your truck. Great work by the way. The mirror arms look very realistic.

Yesterday i found some time to work it out..

I don´t have a "Tamiya Cockpit Decal". So i have to build the Cockpit by other Parts and in 3D. I know it isn´t 100% scale - but i like it.

And here are the pictures of the cockpit:













The used effekt of the cockpit is intended

Also i have paint my cab with primmer to see where i have to do over again with filler

In purchase on painting i decided for the "Texas Outlaw Theme". And here the final design of the "Texas Outlaw Theme":

Good job on the dash, and the rebel theme is going to fit this truck like a glove.

Thanx John

Today i have paint my cab in white - around to see like the decals (i will make myself) affect to the cab, i made a photo assembly at the PC

and that is the result:



behind the grill then the confederate battle flag comes - this is to be lit up indirectly:



and on the backside the "texas outlaw theme"

What did you say?

[glorydays24]

Yes indeed

Big John

[Papabaer]

So Guys, i´ve done my job













Now i have to work out the rc-parts, main switch, load sockets and lights - then i´ve finish- i like my litle outlaw and the decision for the "Texas Outlaw" was exactly correct.

Wat do you thing about my "Texas Outlaw"?

[glorydays24]

That is one sharp looking truck, I love it.

Big John

[Snowman]

That will be a lot of fun with the short wheelbase. The mirrors look really good.

[Mikemike]

Nice

[nztrucker]

cool man i love the extra chorme stuff.

[Papabaer]

so Guys, here are some new Pictures what my "Texas Outlaw" looks like actualy:

He get some new Decals and a "The Outlaw Appearance" (you can see some "Dust" at the tank and the bumper)













I´m sorry for the Quality of the Detail Pictures - i think i need a new Camera

[Papabaer]

After a long time in Hospital (nearly 9 Weeks), i´m back home.

I´ve build a Transportingbox for my Texas Outlaw:













Now i´m working out the lights and i build a race Transporter based on the bruder lowloader like this one:



... but the race truck must be an american truck (based on a Hua Peng King Hauler) like this one :



New Pics comming soon.

Glad you're home buddy, hospital stay's suck...I've had my share.
Keep the sunny side up, and the dirty side down.
Hope all goes well for you.
