TechnicRCRacer Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Hi, Does anyone have any good tips on creating bodywork on MOCs? I got a lot of them from a friend + I have a lot to begin with. Any panel can be used in a suggestion (I probably have it). I am trying to add (detachable) bodywork to my Trophy Truck -TechnicRCRacer p.s. anyone know why this website takes forever to load? (in U.S.) Quote
PorkyMonster Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Wow! that's a very open-ended question . Nope, I have nothing to offer other than to 'trial and error' and see what fits, be it detachable or not. As for website loading time, have you compared using different browsers and/or different pcs?

offroadcreations Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Hmmm... Most trophy trucks I've seen/built follow this strategy: a 5x10 panel, one 5x7, 5x3, or 5x1 on the back, a 5x1 or 5x3 panel in the front, a beam as the rear fender, and then a 5x1, 5x3, or Bionicle eye in the very back. There can optionally be a 11x3 under the 5x11 panel. Hopefully this makes sense! But don't forget to do whatever you want to make it your own. This is what I do, but you can do anything.

TechnicRCRacer Posted January 14, 2017 Author Posted January 14, 2017 Thank you! This is a great help. The only problem is that I only have 1 set of 5x5 panels in black. It should work! I am also using the technic mudguard piece (61070) as the back fender of the front wheels. I am having problems with images currently. Thank you! Also, there is no signature setting in my account settings. Quote

Also, there is no signature setting in my account settings. No problem. Glad it helped! About the signature, click on your name (not your photo) in the upper right corner. Click "Account Settings" underneath settings. Then click signature in the menu. Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted January 14, 2017 Author Posted January 14, 2017 I finished most of the bodywork and it is looking good! BTW black thing behind the 5x11 panel is the 5x5 panel Quote

(in U.S.) If you press F5 (or refresh button) while this website is loading, I think the problem is over. I also have the same problem.. If I press F5 it loads very quickly. Btw, is your front bumper not to low? On the trophy trucks I found on Google the front bumper is as high as the wheel... but overal it looks cool! Quote

TechnicRCRacer Posted January 14, 2017 Author Posted January 14, 2017 Finished raising the bumper! Looks way more realistic. I looked up more images and rebuilt the front. Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 It is done! Will be posting soon Quote
