I have jumped into the world of 3d printing. First up is a truck mount style manure spreader. There is a short and long frame version available in many different colors. Short frame style starts at $48.99 Check it out here along with my other models: www.shapeways.com/shops/lazyffarmtoys |

Hey guys. Sorry for the long delay. Been really busy this month.
Two Tone- Thank you. I have a couple already with more on the way. I really like how they turned out.
mwfnorth- They look great on dcp but should work with any brand 1:64th. For the short frame to mount without cutting the truck frame you need 2&1/8in between the back of the cab and center between axles. For the long frame you need 2&5/8in. I highly recommend getting one of my truck bed mounting frames to go with it. Makes it easier to align everything.
natepost- If I can get a picture resized small enough where it will let me upload it, I will get it on here.

How are you attaching them to the truck? They need a bit of frame built under them to not be on the tires.
They are pretty detailed. I thought they would be a bit heavier though. The fenders arrived crunched under themselves so I may just cut them off.
