Bodywork

Truck bodywork is finally taking shape. I’ve painted it with metallic red (Ammo MIG red + aluminum), and though the result looks not as saturated as I would like, still good.

Then (and still) I was busy with LED wiring. It is a rather tiring and monotonous process, requiring stripping 0.1 copper enameled wire, soldering it to 0402 LEDs, then soldering wires together. The model has: 2 head lights, 4 blinkers, 2 brake lights, 2 reverse lights, 4 sideskirt lights. 14 LEDs in total.

But it looks like it’s almost complete. There are some wires left, and it will be ready to be soldered to the PCB.

Looks like all the rough problems are ironed out, it could even be the final version that I needed to print.
