Go for it RustedRC! It's really a lot of fun building these functional miniatures.
Time for some scale accessories, starting with a sleeping bag. This one is pretty popular but it's a good idea and I liked the look. I just cut out a rectangular piece of brown felt, folded it in half, rolled it up, and hot glued it to keep it from unraveling. Simple, fast, and scale.
And then to hold the sleeping bag to the roll cage along with other accessories like the ones I made for the winch, I bought a large pack of colored hair ties and some assorted colored paper clips. Thanks to more ideas from the internet and a nicely done YouTube video, I made scale bungee cords. I started with just a couple but ended up making 4 lengths and two of each color in each length (14), for a total of 56. They took about 4 minutes a piece to make.
Next was making a snorkel. I see online how some sites sell special snorkels that fit certain models and charge a fortune for them. I know they also make some universal ones. I wasn't really interested in those. Like the whole purpose of them is to look scale but that's it. If I bought a universal one and it was 20 degrees off from being inline with my windshield and didn't look right at all, it would be pointless to have it on there. So from a black plastic coat hanger and the use of a lighter, I made my own that is a perfect fit for my G6.
I even drilled a 3/8" deep hole in the end and cut it on an angle to make it actually look like an exhaust tip. Also drilled a hole for an M3 screw in the end that goes under the hood so I can ream a hole in the body and tie down that end of the snorkel. I'll be tying down the upper part of the snorkel with a small zip tie that hooks into the light bar/windshield mount.
More to come, will post as I find the time.
