PETE 281 "forester"

[RonaldoM]

long time ago i decided to do this model, i made the project, but it rested too much time into the drawer. Now i finally decided to got it out the drawer.

i know i'm absent for a long time, excuse me for a low participation in the Zealot's life, but you are always in my favorite guide browse

It looks like your are off to a great start! I look forward to seeing how it turns out!
As for not being here as often, no worries. Life happens. I am glad to see you back.

I like the leaf springs detail. These details really set your models up, and make then very nice. We're always happy to have you whenever you get the time. No need to ever apologize.

This looks awesome! As Zathros said, we are happy to see you here.

Thank you all ! I have two others models to put here. The sky boat that stood aside for a while but i didn't forget it and a sci fi machine made by scratch. For now i need to finish this Pete

 

[RonaldoM]

Some internal parts

 

[zathros]

Nice cabin interior work!!!

I just made some adjusts on this model, but the major is the same as the older PETE

 

[RonaldoM]

For parts this size i thought it'd better use a solid piece of card to get more rigidity. This 2mm card isn't so much rigid so i washed it with cianoacrilato glue to have a very rigid piece

 

[RonaldoM]

for the second time that the model is assembled some parts seem easier

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

This looks FANTASTIC!!!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Brillaint!

 

[zathros]

You do have a way with "real" trucks. They look REAL!!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Really, Real!

 

[RonaldoM]

Thank's guys. I like these machinery that seems hard and noisy

 

[RonaldoM]

It is difficult to create free wheels and keep the appearance close to the original parts. I tried and the result is not so bad

 

[RonaldoM]

..for the front axle

 

[RonaldoM]

It's difficult to explain this in the tutorial, but these wheels can be attached blocked

I aplied aluminum foil to get a cool look
