Seeing as how I can't (currently) afford the custom cage work I would like to have installed, I decided to take a different route. Decided on an M35/M123 "military" truck.
Figured I'd try my hand at some styrene craft as everytime I tried to print the cab side walls they kept warping/peeling up a few hours into the print.
After some fiddling with my printer, and a new roll of filament, my parts started coming out perfect, outside of minor printing errors.
I spent a good portion of the weekend printing the fenders, grill (partially assembled), rear wall and an air filter (not pictured)
I still need to do the roof and hood, which will take ~17 hours (iirc) according to Cura. Then there's a bunch of small detail stuff I want to add, steps, fuel tanks, ect. I'm going to have to relocate my differential servos and shift servo at some point in order to line the body up where I want it and still need to figure out what I'm going to do with the rear of the truck. But I'm making slow and steady progress.
Before any body else mentions it. It's definitely, totally, 100% 1:10 scale accurate. If your 1:1 M35 is lifted on coilovers and portals with 44' pitbulls. [emoji16]
