bitner Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Here's the latest wrecker to the collection. I used the Matchbox/AMT kit of the Road Boss. I stretched the frame 1-1/2" and added resin rear two hole rims. I used Tamiya brilliant blue, Testors white and red for the colors. I made a lot of the decals for it. The wrecker body and all related Holmes equipment was built from scratch from Evergreen and Plastruc sheet and shapes. It was built in several sub assemblies and then assembled. I used model ship line for the rigging. Cheers: Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Winter Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) That's Just beautiful! Gotta love the old Holmes Twin boom wreckers, Especially the 480, 600, 750, and 850, Great Job with the Whole Bed, looks very realistic. Can I ask what kind of Model ship line you used for the Winch Lines? Nick Edited February 1, 2011 by Nick Winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
