For the record, the rear view mirrors have been made using 1mm CF rods of around 1" length x 3 nos. and the joints are joined using the rubber casing of a (guessing) 12AWG wire..

Lastly, brackets using 2mm CF rods for the vertical beams and 2mm CF rods cut in half for the horizontal beam support bracing..

CF..

Hope you guys like my build as after helicopters, this is my first scale build on a micro crawler..

Ok, Final Update,
Removed the brackets and just kept the carriage.
Reason: the brackets do not make the truck look A+ visually.

One small out of detail I've faced so far is the wheel to body ratio, the wheels are a bit smaller for this kind of heavy looking body, I am thinkin' of ordering the RC4WD http://store.rc4wd.com/Rock-Crusher-Micro-Crawler-Tires_p_737.html

As last night's update, finished with the electronics, (have to still manage to hide the batteries) perhaps, a tool box in the carriage would do the trick.
installed HID lookalike headlights, so the headlight detailing will progress today, went on to do the tail lights but my LED's burnt out.(4 tests, 8 burnt LED's)
Skipped the tail light idea, too much power distribution going there...

Will paint the truck in a couple of days, after I figure out the balance, alignment and electronics.

Looks satisfying!

For my nest build until my "N" gauge parts arrive is converting the Trex 100 to scale, >> M.A.S.H style!! everything is ready except the glass shield or whatever it is called!

This project is nearing its end..
last night finished the painting works on the chassis and the body, the paint scheme looks really amazing.
tonight will try and post some pictures of the completed build and hopefully a trial run on full batteries.

Lastly, weathering will be done for scale looks..
till then have a good day ya'll !!

Finally some pictures...
I suppose they speak for themselves.

PS: A lot of sanding is balance on the whole body and also the rear view mirrors need a complete paint strip.

The brawl outside the diner's was so bad that one of the cars had to get confiscated by the army!!

Later that night, a helo was spotted being shipped to the nearest base. Thumbs Up

Here, there's a stationary shop who deal in all kinds of paints, I really did not bother to see where it was made in. Its rough when you paint and once the paint dries, it tends to creep in the uneven places and produces a smooth surface..

Dorwin, I am just bored to death with your perfection. First the Heli fuselages, then this.  Bow

I doubt if most of us are even qualified to comment on this kind of scale scratchbuilds.

VC, you too build from scratch man! what do you do? use your imagination right?
I say, everyone can build from scratch or salvaged parts..

As an example, even cartoon characters put the idea in the minds of the young, that, "IMAGINATION" is like your own little universe, you can manipulate it in any way you wish..

Spongebob:when you use your IMAGINATION you can do anything! even the creators imagined him wearing a pair of square pants.. Grin Grin

Let your universe evolve..
