Stretched the Captain hook wrecker and gave it a rollback bed, hope this turns out better than the last rollback I made.

You'd be the second one with the same surname on one of my models, Surprisingly I know another Phipps who builds model cars. Isn't that a fun coincidence?

Thank you James! Thank you Steve! Thank you Larry! Thank you Gary! Thank you Lee!

Something I started like 3-4 months ago, got it finished up like a week ago. Thanks for looking!

Got the wrecker printed, needs a little work but it should turn out decent boom coulda been a little thicker.

This is my Autocar with a 650 Holmes, perhaps my favorite model I've built. Now one thing that was always slightly off for me was the Wrecker unit. The real truck had a 650 Holmes, a littler smaller than the 750. Now the first thing that sticks out is the winch itself which hides in the structure, a real one doesn't. And then the height, my unit was too tall, like really too tall. I redesigned my 650 and plan to print it tonight. That's about it for now, Thanks for looking!

Thank you all for your comments. Did some more work. Finished the boom and got some more work on the bed done That's about it for now. I hope I don't put this off to the side for another month lol.

Here's some more progress, got somewhat of a wheel lift made, with zero holding power. I figure imma just mount it up and not use it. Sorta working on finishing up the 12 things I didn't finish before I start another lol

Did some reorganizing, Right now it depicts modern day with trucks from 06, huh maybe should've checked that. but some new progress I have is that I have built a new yard truck. This GMC Astro once belonged to a workers brother, got junked and used as a yard truck. Eventually it got to the point where it was attached to the baler, and when the price of junk metal went through the roof in like 08 stuck to the baler. The two served faithfully until the Astro broke because apparently fixing yard trucks was just like, not a priority and cut up for scrap. Trailers a little big for the Astro Thats it for now, Thanks for looking

Thanks Carl!

Thank you David!

Thank you Shawn!

72 Chevy with dually fenders made from the sodbuster fenders, 3d printed wrecker, Based of a Holmes 220. About it, This ones green! Anywho Thanks for Looking!

Thank you Carl!

Based on part of my local junkyard, its like 4x8 and way outta scale. All the vehicles are 1/25, all the terrain is clearly not that! Adding to it when I'm not building other models, Next I probably need to build that building out of something not cardboard!

Very nice pete!

Thank you Bruce!

Thank you Larry!

Thank you Alan! I really wanted to get the truck with the real one, also was really nice it happened to be hitched to the Black trailer.

Thank you Victor!

Thank you David!

Thank you Victor!

Thank you James!

Really? Well at least you know what a MAC Corp crusher is now! They sure are impressive machines, wait till you see an E-Z log baler! Its a pretty neat piece of equipment.

Based on the Yard truck at Phipps Auto Parts, which is a Peterbilt 377 with a 60 series Detroit, 15 speed transmission, Hydraulic tank and lines, and that killer front push bar (which wasn't put on yet!) This 377 was first sold in Georgia when it was then sold to Staker Alloys, and became there 8th truck, hey Staker Alloys 8!! After The Cohen brothers bought out Staker Alloys it was then used up until 2014 or so, then was sent over to West Carrolton and used as the yard truck in Cohens West Carrolton Shredder, there it was once "stress tested" with way over 80 thousand pounds worth of material in a trailer that is in remarkable shape for its age, after that in around 2020 or so it was sold to Phipps Auto Parts as a yard truck. Still wearing the logos of its former owner it currently works as a yard truck. Stacks flipped over it doesn't get put on the road, this worked until someone ripped the driver stack off. It will, at one point get the front ram bar from a Cement truck thingy. The trailer is a scrap trailer, for sheet metal. Also a former Cohen trailer that was painted blue. When it was sold it got repainted, and the paint didn't last well... The Recycling C or Cohens current logo has come from underneath the paint, and more importantly the P, now proudly displaying "Chipps" while also having Cohens phone number and website bleeding through. The Truck is an Italeri Peterbilt 377, passenger fuel tank switched to two smaller ones, stacks messed with, and rear flaps/brake lights of a Revell USA 359. Trailer is a AMT big rig trailer, the IMC one thats about 36 foot. cut the roof of and "filled" with sheet iron and such.
