ive done 206 builds, includes working wreckers, boom trucks, roll off flatbeds trucks, etc. but in 1/14 scale and not as detailed.

sense i joined a couple of modellers forums i noticed i can learn alot and pick up the detailing. so really this is my 1st detailed truck.

i did build a working mobile 8x8 rocket launcher. that was really kool. looking back it,i could have made it alot better

here link to some of my builds http://scalebigrigs.madmooseforum.com/

WOW!! that's R/C model building on a whole nother level :D

this build is far more better then the rest, as detail goes. owe it to all the guys on this forum for there ideas and builds. im a huge fan here

Don't know what that is, but you could be right. I've probably seen 10-20 TI's go through in the year and a half I have been on that line, and have never seen one of those. Could be something a customer requested we add during the build or could be an add on after purchase, definitely not standard equipment. I think we would add just about anything a customer wanted us to, just needs to be worked out during the ordering process.

Youve got detailidous, theres only one known cure but most guys who get this illness refuse to take it because it involves a sewing kit and pink frilley things. ;) LOL! :D Keep up the good work Joe and that window and grating looks fantastic!:D
