I made the next part for the mirrors, its the outer casing, next is the inner mirror


inner mirror holder is done, I will attach mirror when I dine painting it


the truck has a crank, pully set up for the tire lift , its a 2 part system




today I made the fender light buckets and installed the lights, they work great

today I started on the roof mounted search lights, basically all scratch . im using .040, .060 styrene and clear .010 styrene , the light bucket is from the rear bumper of a king hauler . the driver will be able to rotate the search light from the inside. I will add lights later




cant wait for paint and the round styrene to come in so I can finish the roof, should be here Thursday
so in the mean time, I will get started on the bumper,i was able to mod the king hauler front bumper mount for this part

next I using a solid 1/4 x 3/4 inch alum bar for the main support

next I made the hydraulic arm support

here I start wrapping the alum with styrene

1st I notice the bumper was sitting 8mm to low , so I had fix that will quick. ive added some side orange refecters , a ladder and started on some kind of unit that mounted on the top bumper, im thinking its some kind of hydraulic block
