  1. I see this starting to pop up in most hobby shops now for pre order so it must be close. Ive never had one before so will be picking one up in this round.
  2. Building HS and working on bed/box for 6x6
  3. I've always liked the look of this buggy, I'll probably pick one up. Still waiting for that king cab/Hilux racer release though.
  4. Thanks Some more work on the plow today. I have the servo and fake hydraulic cylinder setup and the plow mount bolted to the truck. I'll be revising the linkage a bit to help get rid of some of the flex.
  5. Thank You. I sure would like to get my hands on some.
  6. Thanks. I'll probably end up doing a couple different ones, a basic flat bed like an oil field winch truck and a rotator truck.
  7. I printed some decals that I think turned out pretty good for just using a cheap printer. I used Avery 22822 clear labels which worked good for the KW logos where the background shows through the clear, but if you want white lettering or background like on my Irving Equipment decal then I had to print the same logo on white stick on labels and then the clear over top it. I made some aluminum plates for under the door and step, polished finish. Started building the snow plow mount
  8. Cool, any links to where these are available for purchase?
  9. Onto the paint work and masking, oh how I hate masking... Although I dont enjoy the process it is very satisfying removing the masking tape and seeing the end result. Tamiya masking tape works great. The colors and paint scheme are those from a local heavy hauling and crane company, I'll be adding their logo and some other detail stickers later on.
  10. I polished the new exhaust mounts and made a roof spoiler to tie it all together for a finished look Also added some mirrors I ordered from rcmart.com I polished the sun visor Im pretty happy with how these parts turned out I'm doing away with the chrome wheels using Easy Off oven cleaner to melt away the chrome. Yellowish plastic in the Bullhead wheels And black plastic from the black edition Clodbuster Wheels primed and painted white using Tamiya spray paint Converting to a split window and adding wipers from a Grand Hauler kit More to come...
  11. Some body work to the rear of the Bullhead Filler pieces I also have reinforced the body under these panels to prevent flex but forget to get a pic I'll be relocating the exhaust stacks and filling the original mounting holes Holes all filled and sanded smooth using styrene Sunroof deleted and filled with a piece of styrene and sanded smooth. I'll be adding roof lights and air horns. I moved the exhaust up and rearward using mounts I made from angle aluminum, these will be polished later on. Made my own sun visor from aluminum. Fairly easy to build, cut from aluminum sheet and make bends using a vise. This will be polished also later on. More to come...
