for the first one(3 cuts) the other 3 i just made 2 cuts, i just measured what i wanted from the middle to both sides and cut from there.

yes but it is fun.
Update:
Tires:
All 4 have been glues 3 times to get rid off as much holes as possible, even thought it dried white...with the 3rd layer. I might paint the rims a different color when the body is done.
Gearbox:
I just made the top 4 link mount. Lower cog and less weight compared to the first one.
Body:
The grill i was using wasn't going to fit since the front bumper(hilux grill and bumper). So i had to move the bumper down a mm. IT is good now. Just have to redo putty work which i started. Drivers side is before sanding, passenger side is almost done with sanding, then i have to putty it again for the right shape. The marks on the bumper is where there are little gaps inbetween the bumper and grill i am going to fill with putty.
Thanks.
