Looking very good Andy. Well done saving the decal.

Andy,
Great work so far mate. The open panels should look the bomb. Cudos for getting the decals off the masking tape I don't think I would have even tried.

Great save with the decal Andy. I didn't even know it was possible to remove it from tape as I've fallen for that one before.

Haven't we all at one time or another...:tired::tired::tired::tired::tired:

looking great Andy, this keeps getting better with each update

[outrunner]

Thanks for all the comments on the truck, because of all the hassle I caused myself with doing the modifications this has been teetering on the edge of the bin now and again but I think I am (very) nearly there, but don't hold your breath. With regards to the decal, it is not something I have done before and I did not for one minute think I would get away with it, not something I would recommend, very nerve wracking I assure you so I will be very careful with masking tape in the future.

Andy.

You are so close Andy.....keep it coming pard! :thumb2:

[Ian M]

That is one impressive truck you have built there!

I saw one of these on YouTube a while ago. Seeing something that size come flying over a hill, on a bend land on two wheels and still make the corner at a fair rate of knots... That would scare the proverbial out of me.

[Lee Drennen]

Very nice updates Andy I think Hot Wheels has this Truck I remember seeing it the other day and was thinking of this build

[outrunner]

You guys would probably be thinking that I had forgotten this model, or even chucked it in the bin, but no to either. During the good weather my attic was too warm to work and even when the temp dropped a bit I was still spending a lot of time on the bike but now the rain is here things have changed, too wet for biking but OK for modelling.
I finally got both the sides hinged to my satisfaction.


Still a bit of work on the chassis internals to do before I can fix the box on properly.
I got some more decals on the cab front, I have never had a model with so many decals, and some of them are tiny as opposed to the huge ones on the top and sides of the body.


So it is still under construction but the end is in sight, if you look with binoculars. :smiling5:

Andy.

Looking good Andy. Glad to see you're still at it when time allows.

Thanks Andy, the bike is my biggest draw and has been all my life.

Not something for the faint hearted is it Andy.
Think you've done so well , esp cutting the section like that.
Hopefully you'll get some more done as it looks like it's going to be wet for a while .

Andy,
Looking good mate

[Mickc1440]

Glad this is still progressing

[outrunner]

Well progress has been slow, almost non existent in fact but I got back to it last night. No pictures for reasons which will become appparent as there has been a change of plan, well two changes actually, the first was to scrap the thing as it is not working out the way I wanted and the second is, as I have spent so much time with it I may as well try to get it done somehow. When trying to fit the hinged top/sides it became obvious that I must have built a slight twist in the structure and the model is too far along to try and fix it so I have decided just to glue the top/sides on permanently (something I should have done in the first place instead of trying to be clever). Tonight I took off all the hinges and cleaned things up a bit so it should be getting there soon.

Andy.
