Description
Pretty simple model, here's a Peterbuilt cement truck to add to your hot wheels collection. Unfortunately, I don't know the year, just in case you were curious. This model is pretty simple to make, I printed the chassis and wheels in black, and the cab, drum and drum carriage in white, as white is easiest to paint over without primer. I use cheap acrylic paints, and so far, they haven't done me wrong. This truck, however, is going to be painted by a friend, so I don't know what type of paints will be used. The silver details were done with a silver sharpie. I'll try to remember to post pics of it painted, forgive me if I don't.
The axles were made with a 3mm wood dowel, mostly because I somehow miscalculated the diameter of the holes in the chassis and wheels.
You'll need to print one of every model, except the wheels. You need to print two of the STLs labeled Cement_Truck Wheels.
Another note, I believe the actual scale of the model is truly 1:640, so you'll simply need to upscale the models by 10. (Tack a zero on the end of your scale factor)
Edit
I finally got pictures of the truck painted and assembled. Enjoy!
