Judging by the drawing, it looks a fairly simple sheet and strip construction Nick, with a few detail points to keep you interested such as the angled cut aways at the base of the side stantions. Might be hard to keep them from bowing while drying though, I think I’d leave them under weight overnight….

I concur, i may even do the stripwork directly onto a sheet then cut L & R sides out, done this before and it significantly reduces construction warpage.

That's my kind of modeling Nick.........get a couple of kits and cut 'em up and make something you can't find at the local Hobby Shop! Looking forward to more progress on this "Frankentruck"!! :tongue-out3: :thumb2: Rick H.

Hi gang
Todays fiddlins, finished misc bits on chassis, opted not to fit PTO driven winch.... I'd like to finish this ! The new 3D printed fig was given the chop, and i carved his posterior and lower thighs flat, guaranteed head room when roof added, cool pose of fig I'd say....



Nice fit, a sub cast member but ...yup I've done it
Onwards with body plans

Nice job on the frame and running gear Nick. How does the wheelbase measure up? When I'm doing this kind of mod I try (not always successful) to get it as close as possible.....just so I can sleep nights :thumb2:

Nice progress Nick. Figure does look to fit well. Figures inside vehicles often need major surgery even when they come with the kit!
