Mike77 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 After abandoning two previous wrecker builds I figured I'd better wait until I finished one before I posted anything! I just got done with this one yesterday...a Stepp's Towing Can-Do 21"-long "Megawrecker". Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 That is one long wrecker! I would hate to have to make a U-turn! Nice job, looks like you used two sets of amber rotating lamps, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Mike, I am assuming that this is a 1/25 scale truck? Well that means that it is 43ft 3/4" long on a 1:1 truck. I LIKE IT !!! Very nice job done. "If you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch" Love it Love it Love real big Trucks. Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike77 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. I like to build but I don't have a lot of room to display stuff, so this one is on Ebay for someone else to enjoy. Unfortunately I didn't take any in-progress photos as I just kind of did this one a little at a time. I don't know how practical a wrecker this long would be in the real world but it doesn't really matter. I don't obsess over every little nut and bolt or whether each part is painted exactly how it's supposed to be on a real truck. To me that takes the fun out of modeling and makes it a chore. I did learn one thing about dipping my toes back in the 1/25 pool...my eyes and fingers aren't what they used to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
