Remember "Black Mail" ?

We stripped it down to it's bare body and are converting it into a monster truck:

Either I create small cars, or the TR-2 wheels are just gigantic.

I never used tweakscale, but I might use it in the future to scale those wheels down.

I was messing a bit with the camo mod . . .

Reminded me of:

Update on the Black Mail Bigfoot:

Still needs some work, lights, grill, etc.

You should set up a monster truck track to show this thing off lol

Maybe I'll put monster wheels on the other 7 rat rods and let them race, I'm working on a track using Kerbal Konstructs.

It's a slow process because it's very hard to get the parts just lined up right.

So I had the track ready, putting together piece by piece lining them up:

But as soon as I reload the pieces had shifted . . .

Not cool, I'm giving up on KK, it might be me doing something wrong, but this is frustrating . . .

I've had enough of driving, I need some air . . .

NEWSFLASH:

" Will Triop finally go to space ? "

Insiders say Triop is getting bored driving and flying around Kerbin, some say he's planning a trip into space. . .

Will he do it ? Will he go where all Kerbals before him have gone before ?

Let me know what you make of it.

 

Did some SSTO stuff...

I'm still not happy with KK mod parts not lining up after restarting the game, it all looked so perfect.....

So I'm taking some time off racing and look for new things to do, like entering a challenge:

It has been a while since I've entered a challenge, mostly I host them (stressfully... ).

I've got a new project, a 100 year old Model K:

It just needs some love and attention...

Let's get granny into the workshop and do some hardcore banging.

We got rid of the roof, it wasn't worth fixing. So we are not going to restorate the K but customize it into a roadster.

Not much of the body is left, but we will make it work.

Next up: Sanding and polishing.

This is the 'small' engine that we are going to use, A Z-400 with a Zaltonic fuel cell :

But first we will send the body out for a paintjob.
