MIDNIGHT SYCLONE BUILD

[delwin.anthony]

Starting my linburg syclone dump truck build I'm going to try to have as much interior detail as possible in it

Vlog will be on youtube describing the build as well for people that dont like to read or have time to lol.

Gonna have to watch this. Loving the dump bed. I never seen a 1/20 scale.

Looking forward to seeing progress on this one!

I took so many hours just staring at this wondering how I can mount this body I seen a lot of people mount this body to this chassis before but the body sits above the height of the motor which I did not want I wanted the body sitting 3 mm over the chassis as it would resemble how it would sit in real life on a 1:1 scale

This model car was made in the 90’s so i did not want to damage it by hacking it up. So I decided to start with the front bumper and the front shock towers since I can mount a new bumper up to it or hide the fact that the shock tower inner fender section was hacked up just in case I made a mistake.

I usually take the opposite approach, I usually start attacking things, then trying to figure out how to undo what I did. Sometimes things make perfect sense until you try them.

Sometimes I accidentally end up with results I like, that I never expected. Your approach is much smarter than mine!

Lol yeah i was like man i can't afford to damage this body lol knowing me id want to buy another body and start over
Went ahead and bobbed the bed so i wouldn't have to deal with custom links.

Went ahead and bobbed the bed that way i dont have to deal woth custom links and i love shorter wheel base builds i also cut the bed in a way to where i can add the back section of the truck bed back vs just the back of the cab

I understand, I can't believe how much models kits cost in the scale that works for us.

I've thought about a dump bed mod myself and I'm glad somebody is doing it. Looks awesome @delwin.anthony
