o-man Posted February 28, 2014 I just don't know how some of you guys do it. The details are incredible! Awesome truck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chariots of Fire Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks for the kind remarks, Guys. The engine at the rear of the rig is a '32 Ford Model B. I added some things to it but most is out of the box. The head and manifold were missing so I had to scratch build those.There will be a companion piece coming soon. The State of Massachusetts purchased 13 identical '38 Ford COE's after the 1938 hurricane that left so much debris throughout the state. I have a resin cab and will begin collecting data once I find one of the rigs to measure and photograph. There is one still around that I will seek out. Will be posting as I go on this one as well.

Chuck Most Posted February 28, 2014 Loved seeing this one come together, and love the finished product! It would be a shame taking a truck that pretty out into the brush... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey Posted February 28, 2014 It would be a shame taking a truck that pretty out into the brush... Until you snap over the first sapling with it. What to add that hasn't been said already, though...I've got nuthin' but love for this build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plastheniker Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) A really unique idea and your immaculate execution made a fantastic model. I love it! Edited February 28, 2014 by Plastheniker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chariots of Fire Posted March 1, 2014 Here is a photo of the real truck taking down a 6" pine. This was obviously a demonstration run as there is no fire as you can see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
