Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
I just read through a couple pages of this build to get myself caught back up, and the truck looks amazing. You are a true craftsman.
As far as your question regarding the appearance of the walkway, I think it looks fantastic, but what may be throwing it off to you is the open spaces in the walking surface. In the pictures it looks like the walking surface is expanded metal or diamond plate where you have solid metal with slots. Those slots in scale look a little big, probably a couple scale inches wide. If you attached some scale expanded metal or diamond plate on top I bet the scale appearance would change. Again, I think it looks great and very scale, just trying to take a stab at what was bothering you when looking at it in person. |

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
nice work, a work of art. I may need to get you to come help me dig out from all the snow we have here when you get it finished. We have over two feet already this is to much for this early in the winter.

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
I take it you are suprised at the weight....LOL...told you it was heavy!!!!
( when it is finished I will get the actual weight...I'm only guessing on the weight being 85-90lbs...but my back tells me I'm close!!! ) The weight on the 1:1 777D is 142,573 lbs so if I did the math right the 1/12 model should be 82.5 lbs ??? So it may end up being a bit heavier than it should be in terms of scale....good thing this is a 1/12"ish" size and not 1/12 scale...LOL.... |

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
This model is massiVEE. And awesome I like the 1/2 inch kept above the frame part on the dump box I think it looks better than if it were to be cut flush. How many shovel-fulls of dirt you reckon this thing willl haul when you get there?

At least you might be the first to say even the weight was accurately scaled down!

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
This truck is turning out to be much heavier than I thought....yikes...cutting it from solid material is a big reason for the added weight, at least something might be close to scale.....lol
