Geoffrey Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thanks guys !! should have pointed out that here both Ropa tires. I'm going with the big ones ! I can use those small tires on other project so no problem there. I got the big ones in yesterday and modivied them to fit the steering axles of the VVT. Got some more work on them done. I hope to spray them with primer this weekend. @ Britainsfan: I got one of those Proxxons. It makes building so much easier, can't imagine working without it any more !!

convo Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm not to sure about the tires. maybe you guys can help me out. The small ore the big Siku Ropa tires ? The small ones: Ore the big ones? looking at your pictures i would say the small ones look more in proportion to the rest of the build and gives it the look of wheel clearance for the wheels ,however the big ones make it look more beefy but its bit to much for me ,just my opinion, ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 I did some work on the 9500L tankers, i build the tanks out of PVC and made the fenders in them. Also sprayed and detailed the chassis of the VVT's, I'm waiting on one small part of the tankers, the air filters, when i get those the tankers can be sprayed to. My 4 hand build VVT's the one with the square tank is allmost done. Needs some glass in the cab and the interior in the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
