Re: RCP57's first King...
Sorry Wayne...A little bead blasting, some low gloss black and some cherry stain later, I have this! I think it looks better painted and by Monday I should have more scale reflective strips than I know what to do with so I will add them to this for a more realistic look.
The paint was barely even dry and Santa had the truck in service hauling him and the strangest looking reindeer I have ever seen around the house! He must be doing a pre-Xmas survey of our house so that he knows where to put our gifts....or coal. Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas to everyone! Last edited by RCP57; 12-14-2013 at 07:56 PM. |

Re: RCP57's first King...
Reg It is not that I do not like the power coat, it look great, mostly more real world. I just like polished Aluminum better..

Re: RCP57's first King...
Yeah I understand Wayne. I like the raw look too. I figured since no one has expressed an interest in these that I would be keeping it and wanted to see what it would look like painted black with stained boards. I think once the reflective tape is added it will look a little more realistic too. In the new year I plan to order some lights for it but for now it will probably just sit on the shelf.

....simplistically good... I can't think of finer or more fitting comment than that, well said Ben.
Well done Reg.

Re: RCP57's first King...
Thanks guys. I think you hit the nail right on the head Ben. My goal with this was to make a flatdeck that was super simple and could be put on and taken off in no time making the truck more versatile. I know it would look better with working lights and a full frame underneath but that would just make it more complex. I would like to build another one with more detail in the future but may do a trailer first if I can find some wheels.

Re: RCP57's first King...
I had the KH dump truck out yesterday for a bit. My excavator is down with a blown track drive so I used my old 1/10 scale 955K to load the truck this time. It was actually kinda fun and the truck performed really well although it would have been better with some company.
