The truck

Heng Long/WPL are now manufacturing 1/16 scale RC trucks, so it seemed sensible to create a forum area dedicated to the amazing things that members are doing with them. Post your builds, mods, and tips here.

The truck

Post by Exhibitedbrute »

So while I’m taking a break from the Sherman I decided to start making the truck look a little better with out spending any money

No. Left over paint from the su-85. Still a bit more to do but it’s quite a step up from its original plastic

Have you some 'wood effect' paints for the sides. I've seen some pretty good efforts on similar rigs on the forum. :) Vallejo and AK paints for wooden handled tools, would do the job pretty well.

I have some wood paint. The seats have already been painted in leather colour, the back though will have a green wash on the wood to give it that worn paint effect.

It will eventually be upgraded with metal dif prop shafts. More accurate wheels a Clark’s board better battery and either a load of flimsy cans or a canvas to hide what won’t fit under cab

I this at some point I will get hold of or make a low loader with a dolly to see how well it pulls a mostly metal t34, then in many unfinished projects time build a tank transporter

MikeB1986 on E-Bay has a very nice printed dolly available plus a 5th wheel to fit on it is on his site,
He also has some other very useful bits and pieces for sale,
Worth a look.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Still a little more to paint, but this is the general idea for it
