Summary

Uses the same cab and chassis as my 1954 International but with a dump truck body.

The model is designed to print out in 1:48th but will certainly print out bigger.

All components scaled to full size so you can easily scale as you want.

Instructions

Please note the STLs are full size so you can scale them as you like!

I find it best to print the body parts separately and the chassis as one. I have included a cab in one piece in case that works better for you. If you want separate chassis parts and don't have sketchup give me a shout and I'll split this up.

I find the wheels print best horizontally on my printer but come out a little thin so the wheels are artificially thick in the model. I have tried and failed to get enough detail to do tread so the tyres are somewhat bald.

I have included the sketchup file though I need to use netfabb to clean up most of the STLs, I need to try and clean the model up a bit to reduce this.

None the less the model builds pretty well in 1:48th and I have built a few of these so far.

The two part chassis are for those of you who want to print in a larger scale than will fit on your printer!

The wires are for LED headlamps btw, a 3mm hole and some fiddling and a 3mm led goes in without too much trouble! I use 2mm for the rear lights

The mirrors are just bent wire with plasticard mirrors, I have tried and I simply cannot print mirrors in 1:48th!
