Thanks, guys!

Simulated grill mod.

I saw this next item on a 3D render of the Tumbler. I don’t think it’s on the real thing. But I liked it so I decided to incorporate this mod into the build. It’s subtle, discreet and tucked away; you won’t find it if you don’t know what to look for.


The first pic (82) shows all the pieces for this part (17-8 through 10) plus my modded pieces and two completed parts. The white strip with the double angled folds is the grill template. My mod shortened and angled the louvers; Terrordron's are long rectangles.


The first one I made has the vertical louvers canted at an angle (best shown in 85 & 86), as is on the real thing. T has you installing them straight in. After making the first one with them angled, I realized the grill was invisible. So I went back to T’s original instructions and installed them straight, a deviation I can live with. -J
