Oh man that thing is so epic! Amazing! For your next project you should do a first gen Tacoma. I've never seen a first gen Tacoma hardbody before. That would be sweet!
Super cool build. I am fairly new to styrene building so soaking up tips and ideas is awesome! I am learning alot, Thanx!! -One question; I allready know and use the pointy Pica markers, but I am qurious what kind of "lead rods you use in your mechanical pencil? I seem to have a bit problems making the lead make good marks on the smooth styrene... are you using a soft lead or harder?
Its just HB. If you have an issue, grab some 600 grit and scuff it up a bit. It needs to get sanded eventually anyway. Pencils and ballpoint pens work by friction and yes, the smooth side of styrene is often too slick to make them work correctly. The small scratches from 600 grit will do the ticket and it only takes a minute.
This is quite Amazing. And an absolute Ton of work my friend. Terrific job @wesmadebuilds681!!! Just out of morbid curiosity, what does a scratch build like this go for in 2024?
I love this rig
thanks, I like this one a lot too

Hey Wes. I'd love to see you build the Terrahawks overlander. Do you think it could be done with modern R.C chassis and drivelines?
perhaps
