I designed the tow bar but I'm not sure how it will print, I suppose I'll find out in about an hour and a quarter.....

If at first you don't succeed, print, print again.

Hi Max, yes it's one of those trial and error things where sometimes you print upright and sometimes on the side, and as you say try, try again....

Now I have a working printer then things can progress

Printed off the front tow bar




and here it is on the truck


To say I'm delighted with the print quality would be an understatement

Alwyn

Quality print that Alwyn!!!

Well as a small break from Nashorn building, I finally got the rear tow bar printed for my matador



Hopefully I will get some time this week to progress the build some more

Alwyn, you seem the guy to ask, how close is the HL truck wheelbase to a 1/16 Morris Quad? The HL trucks are now £20 free postage from China on Fleabay...I might give one a go.

Hi Rob, you would have to reduce the wheelbase by 38 mm but that shouldn't be a big problem, the track width is about right so the conversion should be pretty easy. You would probably have to upgrade the motor to a tamiya high torque in order to pull the gun and limber.

Alwyn that rear tow bar is fantastic! Looking forward to seeing more great work

I was hoping you would say that. Many thanks,
