codie27 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well, after finally finishing up my H61 Cherrypicker I swore to myself I wasn't going to scratchbuild another truck again.....that lasted a week until I started on this one. I had some sales brochures and spec sheets from the Mack museum so that plus boredom and some evergreen sheets floating around was all i needed to get started. I still have a lot of work left to do but progress is happening pretty quickly with this one. Apart from the wheels, tyres,engine/gearbox and diesel tanks everything has been made by myself.The bullnose hood will open once I make up some little hinges,as will the doors. Colour will be the same emerald green as my H61. Here are a few pics of where I'm at with it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
