A couple more details finished up today.

Detailed the air tank with some paint and an air hose. Also designed and printed a “plug” to glue to the bottom so it no longer looks like it’s 2 pieces stuck together.

Also printed a bed and new fuel cell to remove the gigantic stock fuel cell from the back.

Currently printing my own designed tailgate and some spacers to connect the rear fenders to the chassis. Electronics and wheels should be in place this weekend to finish this beast off!

Over the weekend, I finished up the electronics and finished up the wheels. I'm calling her done and I can't wait to share. I'm going to take some glam shots later today. After all the blood, sweat and tears I put into this thing, the big debut isn't about to be some kitchen counter shots lol
 
Just when I thought I was done, I went ahead snd printed the Knights Customs interior. Slowly painting it up now. I hate the yellow and give it a meh out of 10. Going to finish it up tonight. We’ll see if it gets installed or not.

Thanks! It’s def a rush job. If I decide I like it enough, I’ll probably reprint and repaint the base portion to get a cleaner job.

A second coat or maybe a white or silver base coat might brighten the yellow. You should test on this one if you are thinking to redo.

I’m actually fine with the color itself, I hate the pattern I did. I started with the race jacket being solid yellow but really couldn’t stand that. Then I went in with black and turned it into the flame type pattern you see in the pic and it’s a little more bearable. Now it just looks like a fruity superhero to me…

I don't hate it. The yellow looks brighter in this pic. The phone I'm using isn't great either. 🤣
I bet it looks good in person. The details look great!!! 👍
 
Amazon’s finest junk metal came in clutch with a near perfect match of the yellow used in the BB livery.

Now to decide whether I like it enough to switch out the other three…

Printing the head for my driver this morning. Going with the cool-guy beard-guy with a hat. I picked up some paints from Walmart last night and grabbed "Sunkissed Peach" which just so happens to match my complexion perfectly. [I'm a peach, what can I say.]

Going to be outsourcing the painting of the head to my 9 year old because I know that she will 100% do a better job than I can.
