Scammel dumper truck

[Malibu]

Hi,

today Shapeways delivered a view 3D-parts.

This makes it possible for me to show my latest conversion (no convertible:-)) of a scammel snow-plough.
What do you think about the colour I should paint this one - red or yellow?

The thing that holds the tipper up was missing and is made by 3D-printing as well - it works.

Hi Stephan, Ideally a snow plough needs to be nice and bright (in case they lose it in the snow, it makes it easier to find... ), so I would do it in a very bright Red or Yellow.

Ghosty.

Hi,

Scammel Dumper Truck is finished.
For spray-painting I used chrome-yellow made by Tamiya - twice - first and last time.
I never had a color-spray which was so difficult to handle.

Here some pictures.

Very nice. Quality paint job. The new part looks great.

The Dumper-Snow Plough looks great, not just because I suggested a Yellow, it suits the model perfectly. Did you use a primer under the Yellow to lift the darker base colour?

Superb. Now- on that prototype- I want those tires for my Jeep.

looks great - now it looks like 3d parts are better for cutoms and fakes than other home moulding techniques - what next, clear windows?

I was just thinking I would love to get my hands on the bumper & guard so I could make a mold for a resin casting. BTW, clear windows are the easiest ones to make at home. The first set of new windows I ever made (for a vintage Matchbox) was a clear set for the Greyhound bus.
