radio controlled Killdozer project

[4bangen]

it's been to hot to work in the garage, so I started on a project I've been wanting to do for a while. You may remember I built a scale plastic model Killdozer about two years ago. It was really fun, but so many people kept asking if it was radio controlled I decided I might as well build one. I ordered an rc bulldozer online, and started reverse engineering my old model. I tell you it was way easier to build this one since I had my first one for reference. Even though they are different scale it went really fast. The armor is made of cardboard and painters tape right now because these are the templates only. I'm going to cut the tape back off and trace them onto sheet styrene for the final body. Then comes paint and the detail work as well as the weathering. once the model is done, I have plans to do some video clips where it takes out some scale model buildings and cars. I love working with miniatures, and haven't done it in a long time. I'm going to research a few of the buildings he took out and try to replicate them. I'm pretty sure I'm on a few watch lists now. lol

Dang I was hoping someone was building a real one! Imagine that, the killdozer guy was somewhere very far away, remote controlling it. hahaha

please redact this so we aren't tied to it when one of us actually does it.

I'm just waiting for the right styrene sheeting to finish this bad boy.

Love it!

Work continues. Cardboard is gone, replaced by styrene and a cast iron base coat. The body is a little brittle at the glue joints, but some jb weld over the inside will fix that. next come the rust and dust treatment, then she's ready to trash a tiny town. lol

RC Killdozer and the OG scale model together. I'm going to be making some videos with the RC dozer this weekend that should be pretty fun.

They are $150 on Aliexpress but I just took it down to the local Hobby Town and the owner LOVED it and asked if I can bring it for their "Big Rig" show meet they are having to gauge interest in it. I gave him the link showing where it would be $28 each less if he bought 10 of them and could EASILY sell them for $200 in store. His wife (the money boss) watched what it could do then the ENTIRE store watched me play with it and 4 people signed up that were customers and 2 employees said they want one too. So they just ordered 40 of them since every 1/10 scale trucker will want one of these 1/76 scale things. He said if I wanted another I can have it at cost so if you want one, I can get ya the hookup! LOL
