Just having some fun... Really like this truck... Simple yet effective

Added the angled "tubing" to give it a more 1:1 look to the Black Pearl...

Found a better picture to relate... This was while in the 'Con

IMO it looks way better with that angled tube in the back now! "thumbsup"

Thanks Sal45.....it's just those little things that'll help me replicate the 1:1 looks before going balls deep on the blackfoot bodies (which I have no ambition to start, haha). I need to learn how to cut, glue, brace, etc... all that plastic stuff. I know it's basically CA glue and stuff, but it just looks like a lot of work.

Thanks to eric113 I got a new (to me) winch. So I did a quick plate on the front of my custom bumper and mounted it. Now to just get a controller and such to make it work...Eventually I will get it sunk down into the bumper and have the lead come out the front just the like real Black Pearl.
