2.5 ton hydraulic crane

[Wardukw]

Yep me again 
This is the first What if i ever built and still to this day i still love this thing ..little bit of 1/25th scale bits thrown at a Italeri 2.5ton truck and this is the end product ..i dont not why but this thing just seemed to what to be built as it was so easy to come up with the idea and then make it happen 









This was built so long ago i painted the entire thing by hand and dry brushed it was pastel chalk ,,back then i didnt even know about washes or filters tho i still love this thing

it s not what if,more why not,great build,one question,how old is this modell and is that dust from standing or just whatering and efects?

[Wardukw]

Age?? oh man ... i have no idea but its got to be at least 12 years but probably more and the dust is from standing on that same old shelf for years ,,it did look worse than this

You really are making my day, first the MLRS now a crane

as an ex REME man I like anything in modelling with a crane especially this well built

and its also you that prompted me to build my first 1/35 vehicle in 25  years see ZOMBIE BUILD NOT

Nice model.  A very plausible and realistic vehicle.

Oh yeah....very nice. Great job and sure would be a handy piece of kit for logistical work....love all the hoses and bits to dress her up !

[Old Wombat]

Thanks guys  this is exactly what happens when i let my mind of the leash and let it think all by itself  .
It pays to never leave an old Italeri 25th scale truck accessories set laying around when i am building a new model .
These sort of things happen
