If you decide to put a driver in the seat Reg, make sure he's got a bush jacket on and an old shiny silver logger hard hat. Lol

Maybe one of the guys on the forum who have 3D printers could make you a driver?


Mario

yea but you gotta make sure the guy has arm movement when steering

[RCP57]

Didn't you guys know? This truck is like a new Ford Focus...It parks itself!

All great ideas and it will probably get a wiggley armed driver in the fall.

[Stuff]

lol when you're that big you park where ever the heck you want!

[doodlebug]

You could hire that "creepy" driver that smokes, LOL!
Like the steering action.
cheer's, Neil.

[Erick O]

Awesome Man totally top notch

[Snochaser]

Reg, you are definitely taking it over the top. Added minor details to make a major build.

[RCP57]

Thanks guys!

Almost ready for the show! Just gotta load the Euc!

Nice collection there Reg!
If it was me I should place logs in front of models, doesn't like having them smashed if you brake hard.
Have fun at show!

I would agree Dan, but if I load them the other way then the models will be exposed to 50-60mph winds while driving down the highway. I know the wind will blow out the windows so I'll have to take my chances that the logs are tied in securely and drive cautiously. I guess I need to invest in a canopy for the truck. The price of gas jumped to $1.45 per liter here yesterday so I was hoping to use our new car instead of the truck but there just isn't enough room for all the stuff in the car. Maybe smaller scale models would be better...Too late now.

[tracksntreadslou]

Reg you still have room for a log loader ,ADT, and a dozer ..Get Busy Buddy ..lol

[FlyingBeagle]

Dont forget the boat, there is still room.

[RCP57]

Haha no room for the boat...I almost forgot to load lawn chairs!

I think I have loaded everything that I won't need and probably left behind something that I will need so I must be ready to go! 1 more sleep til show time!

[Supermario]

Thank you very much!

I made a little time to drive the truck around and play with some GoPro angles today. Nothing too exciting but the camera wedged between the cab and water tank looking through the windows turned out pretty good.

Thanks for looking!

Love it, I can see the next Truck TV show coming up(if you are into that sort of thing)...

Just need some challenging terrain(like the mountains of Peru) and crap roads...

No animation required though in yours, just make sure the Go Pro is secure and away you go..

:-)

Cheers,
AP

Awesome videos Reg. I especially love the cab view which shows how stable and solid the truck runs. The suspension view shows why
You can tell its heavy by the lack of bouncing like I get with mine on rough terrain. Hard to make a video look scale when the truck is all over the place!

Enough dirt bike riding! Get back to building and making more videos eh!!
