Craphaul Mack

Was shifting stuff around in the cupboard this morning so while I had stuff out I thought I'd throw a few photos up.  




I used the Italeri Black Thunder kit,cut the chassis and added an Auslowe back cab wall. It's meant to represent a truck at the end of it's working life but would probably look better on a dio like Shoey's abandoned Road Boss. It's hard to see in the photos but I did lightly sand blast the front to look like stone chipping using a hobby grit blaster. The guards and RH dash are Auslowe, not sure where the rims came from, maybe the kit. The flat front tyre is just a soft tyre that perished on another model.

theres plenty of life in the old girl yet, round here they put tipper bodies on them and use em for another 20 years

Very nice Mack, there is still a lot of working years in the old dog. Great job on it.

Very Nice work

Sweet , I love it

Excellent work, put it on a dio and it'll look real!

That is fantastic!!! Excellent job. I love it!

And here.  I used to spend my days dodging them while I directed traffic as they tipped clay into an excavation.
A lot of them had Vietnamese drivers with selective language skills.

most of the blokes here seem to be using some kinda french!

Lots of old R models and Fords around here driven by deaf blokes judging by the amount of hand gestures!

This is a real nice build , looks so right .

It does look used. Very nice build!
