JPolli Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hi Guys This is my 2nd attempt at a truck build. It is a MPC Mack DM 600 with a heavily modified garbage truck body that was taken from a Mattel front loader trash toy truck. The wheels and tires are from American Industrial Truck Models. The decals are hand made. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Good use of a toy to make a model of a unavailable subject ! Over the years I have seen several scratch built refuse haulers/collectors. This fits right in It looks good to me! Be Well gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmobil Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Oohh....I like it a lot. Garbage trucks are a missing part of the models that are available as kits. You have done a fine job on converting a toy in to this. Do you have a link to what toytruck you used as a donor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPolli Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks for the nice comments. No, I don't have a link to the toy trash truck. I purchased it at a discount second hand store for one dollar. I had to do major cutting and reshaping to make it a rear loader. I do remember the Mattel name on the bottom of it when I was hacking. It would be nice if a resin maker would come out rear loader garbage truck body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
