Hi folks,

Just saying hello.

I'm building a 10th scale Mercedes Arocs using the Blackwell Beast as a starting point.

Some great stuff on here but I've got a feeling I'm off to have to make a lot from scratch as everything is 1/14, 1/16 or 1/8 in the world of Semi's!

Anyway, Hello & I'm glad to be a member on here

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy the ride & post pics of any builds you have when you get a chance.

Naah mate, I'm luke1983 on a few other scaler forums though. Just that name is a bit boring & Baloo is the name of our family cat.

Ha, nice 1. 10th scale all the way bro! Theres loads in the pick up truck/4x4 type models and some inspirational builds out there.

That said, I've built a 5th scale petrol 6wd Merc SK but it's too big & noisy to use at home and I don't have time to be driving miles at the weekend to use it. Pity...

Here is a pic of it finished and the thread is here

How much does that way?!

If you rolled it over, would there be much body damage?

[Baloo]

I've never weighed it tbh. It's 110 cm long and about 40 cm high though. All the weight is at the bottom so unlikely to tip but I reckon it'd trash the shell if it did!
