PDC Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I remember seeing these trucks working a few years ago and after buying a Joal JCB dumper off ebay for 99p decided to have a go a making one : I used the Joal dumper and a Scrap New-Ray Ford I found in the Scrap box(and some plasticard and superglue) This is what I got :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 After spending a rainy afternoon making my dumptruck I decided to do a bit of Google surfing for pictures of the real thing : I think I need to try another one now with a scratchbuilt bonnet ???

JC Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Sweet Paul, I have a load of pictures on my PC at home as I've fancied making one of these for a while. The one I have pictures of looks a lot different to that on the front end though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
