It's not a pure model but a modified toy. I built it as I love TD's construction based models...and always wanted a dump truck in 1/24 scale. Doubting we'd ever get a kit....I built my own. Started as a toy I found while shopping, mixed with Muscle Machine tires and rims, Scool bus parts, a custom made cab laser cut from .030 sheet and custom decals over Tamiya Camel Yellow.   I left the power unit in the truck...it will raise and lower the dump body and power the rear wheels! I hide the controls in a oil tank.  Lots more pics in link below. Thanks for looking!!!! public.fotki.com/DaveVan51/2011-builds/page5.html |

I would have never thought to use an old toy dump truck as a base for a build!Pretty badass, bro!

That's pretty sharp Dave ! Kind of a large scale Tom Daniel snapper ! Those Muscle Machine wheels and tires work perfectly . |
