Kurt, Awesome !! Sure looks like a great day and thanks for posting all the pictures. Saw some rigs in there from up here north of the border, Tackaberry's International and Proctor's Big Dodge Big Horn !! Thanks again. Rick

This one was over on the Sours site, does show sold out but maybe will be available again, maybe check: http://sourkrautsmodeltrucks.com/?page_id=3&category=2&product_id=204 Rick

Codie27, Go on to Youtube and do a search under: Cherry Picker old antique H61 duplex mack Might be of interest, unfortunately cant get the link to copy and paster but that should give the video. Rick

I was wondering if someone could give me some technical details on how these big brutes operated as never saw one up here in Canada. Most of the older big stuff that I remember was either Holmes 750s or 850s for the big stuff or something of a one off manufactured unit.Looking at pics and the Pete kit did the upper reel at the top control the rise and lower of the boom ?? And also how was the telscopic inner boom controlled. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rick http://tow411.yuku.com/topic/58740/Big-Stick-Wreckers?page=1

Least expensive I have seen them is over at Model Express, http://www.modelexpress.net/cgi-bin/modelexpress/shop/MOE_150.html Cdn price is same. Rick

Need some help here, I just picked up the reissue Road Boss and maybe its just me but the hood doesnt seem to fit properly at the rear. Its really wide and with the way it sits it covers the bottom of the cab windshiled location so the molded wipers and vent opening are completely covered over.So the question is it just me looking at it wrong or is it the design. Cab seems either too narrow or hood to wide. Someone could shed some light would be appreciated. Thanks Rick

So heres my question of the day, now that the Lonestar is out, whos going to try one of these brutes ???? http://www.millerind.com/galleries/index.php?pageId=2&page=popup&pid=2632&cat_id=125 Rick

I know what you mean Nick, I found it probably about two, three years ago, alot of great reference over pics over there. Rick

Three pages with some great pics, love these big old brutes !! http://tow411.yuku.com/topic/58740/Big-Stick-Wreckers?page=1 Rick

Richard, Thanks thats the one !! Rick

I remember a few years back an article on how to build a Holmes in one of the model mags. I believe it was a 750 if not mistaken. Anyone else remember that one and does anyone have a copy they could scan ?? Thanks Rick

Gonna be a real nice addition to the fleet for sure nice job !! Rick

Looks great !! Nice job on the sleeper and really like the paint. Just got that great looking extended look !! Rick

Really nice !!! Rick

Awesome oldie !! Real nice Eric !!

Really nice Eric - great casting as always !! Rick

Anybody have any experinece with this caster ?? Good or bad ?? Thanks for the input Rick

Definitely going to try and make it !! Supposed to be in Kingston that day but hope to be back at a reasonable time and if I am I will be there. Always hoped that Randy would run some casting workshops as his resin is some of the best !! Rick

Have to tell you Chris I really enjoyed the transformation !! Awesome build, impeccable paint job and really nice attention to all the small details. Thanks for posting this one !!!

Nice build, wish there was more casters out there putting these great rigs in resin. Great build as a great tribute to a great truvcking movie. Remember sitting in the front seat of the family station wagon watching it at the Drive IN !! Rick
