Since i got the Schuco Mercedes Benz L911 in 1:18 when it was released an year and half ago. I was not happy with Canopy on the truck as it was very toyish or just a plastic mould. Hence thought of making a custom Canopy for the same.
Though i am not a 3D Designer or have any experience in it. Used Onshape application to design the frame for the Canopy and got it printed from my friend.
Assembled it, though not perfect as the Truck bed itself is made of flimsy plastic and did not align to the frame.
Had to cut and trim some parts to fit the size, then Primed it and painted it black.
Brought a Canvas material roll from a local hobby shop and cut it to the shape and glued it using Super glue to make the Canopy.
Finally happy with the result, Comparison with the original
Might need some work to be done, but I am happy with the outcome. Few pics with the Canopy on the truck
