Great start Jerrett...Yes working with styrene makes it a little easyer ..Takes a little while to get your head wrapped around how you are go to put things all together ..Theres where insomnia come in ..Most of my designing is done on my back ..lol
Its amazing what kind a materials are already at hand ..good idea with the nails..keep up the great work bud

Would it be too cheesy if I said you "nailed" the cab? Yeah that's what I thought...

Keep at it!

Hahaha. Thanks guys! I started working on the body today I will have more pics probably tomorrow.

Today I shaved off bits of the lower black part of the body so it was flat to put some styrene on and start getting the square edged shape i've been looking for. I spilled almost all of my Plastruct glue all over the table so I will have to get some more. Lots of styrene should come in tomorrow and I can really start cranking away.

The cab will be sitting around 4 inches taller and a few inches more forward than it is now.

I still have no Idea how to do electronics and how to mount the drums and gear reductions and mechanical stuff like that. There will be 7 drums overall in the machine so i'm guessing a radio with a bunch of channels will be needed Thanks.
