Australian Mack
Well this is my first build post so here goes.
Since being an ex defence member I've wanted to build an Army Mack and just have been given the chance to. I found myself purchasing a 1/14 scale R series "Australian Army" Mack cab (YES there is a difference). The vehicle i'll be putting together is an ex Australian Army Mac Artillery Tractor Last edited by fireguard62b; 10-08-2013 at 01:04 AM. Reason: Attaching another pic

Re: Australian Mack
The cab came from a company called Shapeways that is into 3d printing.
Please check this out:- http://www.shapeways.com/shops/SSMCollection The guy is great and does wonders off a set of plans, I sent him.

Re: Australian Mack
And here is some more pics.
The chassis is a plain stretched chassis and a TLT-1 front cross member, with a dirty great hunk of aluminium up front as a bulbar, with the speed controller mounted underneath and behind a suitably made up "exhaust" and the receiver will be over the top. The motor is an outrunner which surprisingly enough has enough torque to really push this vehicle along when finished. ( Geez I remember motors that were big heavy things, must be getting old, all this new tech )

Re: Australian Mack
A couple more of the body fitted to chassis, and yes I am going to build an R/C Palfinger for this truck (non-hydraulic)

Re: Australian Mack
Wow, that is a good looking cab and hood! As far Macks go, they always look tough, but this one maybe a little more so. It has an interesting arrangement for the exhaust stack.
