If not I will see how I can get some more parts and sent them over to you.

I must say, the more I look at your King concrete custom, I really love the job you did on it. I like it so much, I might have to steal the color scheme (with a different logo of course).

Here's my boneyard fleet of retired concrete trucks. There are 12 in all, six on the left have no concrete chute and the six on the right are complete with the chute. There are some other issues with a few of the trucks on the right and the bodies of the trucks on the left (which are complete) will join with the bases from some of the trucks on the right to make up complete trucks. Probably best case scenario is that I will have three usable/restorable trucks that need a replacement chute.  Let me know (in a pm) about possibly getting some 3D printed chutes.

Thanks Joe.

This is my lastest custom.

I don´t think that it would work.
I made a German police version out of it.

Here are two 3D printed windscreens, designed and engineered by Stephan (which he so graciously shared with me), installed on their respective project models. Of course, more work needs to be done on both before the paint goes on, but this is a great start and all thanks to Stephan!

Hi Joe,

I´m glad that you can use the parts.
Are you aware that you mounted the windscreen for the Jeep upside down?

Regards

During the build up of these models, how will these screen frames be secured.

Two part epoxy ... which means that the Jeep windscreen (which I have just been informed is upside down) will sadly have to remain that way. Now that it has been brought to my attention it seems so obvious. I must not have been paying any attention to what I was doing. Hope the driver is extra tall so he can see out LOL.

Edit: Since the windscreen is securely in place (and upside down), I have modified it - in place.
