Hey guys. Figured I would share some of the pics of customer styrene projects. If you have any questions or need some thing built let me know:d/ Here's a 30 yard dumpster Im building. It will have an opening door.  A couple of grapples built   Some fenders I made for a 357 boom truck I got off the bay that was in rough shape  And here's some pics of the mech. Truck I have been building for myself   I have a background in 1/10 scale Rc cars. I build lots of hard bodies for people. Here a couple of pics of some of my trucks.

Nice scratch building. The Oshkosh is certainly unique with the service body.

Fantastic work! Amazing hot far RC has come since I was building RC cars in the late 90s-'00s.
I hope to build a set of rear fenders for my First Gear KW T880 to match my KW K200. Would styrene be best for this?

I'm planning on buying a T880 with the lowboy and I'm going to build fenders for it so I will let you know. I used pvc fittings you can get at Home Depot for the Pete 357 fenders. I'm sure you could do the same for your T880.

That would be awesome! The T880 with Lowboy is a great model it just needs some help. This is what I want to replicate on my T880   "/>   "/> All loaded up  "/>

I just went down to the Hobby Shop for some paints for another project and checked their styrene stock. The largest tube they had was 1/2". Is there somewhere I can buy bigger styrene tube or thin wall pcv tube that I can use to cut in half to make the fenders? I want to do triple curved fenders just like the Sword/TWH Kenworth T800W.

I use 1/2 & 3/4 pvc fittings. Cut what you want and sand and file to your desired shape.
