progress report:
part 1:
initial bodys were desigend for the raised chasis. and would still work great for a lifted bit. however the sides of the truck are to narrow to slide over the chassis...
part 2:
i chopped one of the resin bodys down the middle to make it wider so it would drop down on the chassis. everything was fitting perfect.. till i tried to mount on the tabs. the body is somehow magicly shorteded by 2mm... so the body will slide down to the mounting tabs now...
part 3:
Hammer Time!!! you guessed it, frustration set in with that resin body. so ive just poured another body and i now know what mods need to be made befor the next cast is made. slightly wideer and slightly longer...
thoughts:
i just hope i auctually get this finished befor tomy comes out with one... lol however my zip zap woody is coming along great. external detail is about 98% finished. mounting tabs are also about 85% finished. i think i am going to smooth out the wooden detail on the sides so that its easier to apply wood texture decals.
