semijoe Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 the pockets have ran dry for the next step on my firetruck. so in the mean time ive been wanting to build a small crane / hiab for the back of a big rig truck. this will be in a 1/14 scale , completely scratch and close to detail as picture allow me. so if any body out there has clear close up pictures it would be to email with them , especially over sea trucks . i started at the bottom with the base frame and cross members Quote Link to post Share on other sites
semijoe Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 next i had to make the main pivoting shaft so i know what to base the compartment arround it next i made one of the braces to attach to the compartment . added the mounting screws and primed it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

semijoe Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 thanks everybody for watching people are asking what im putting the crane on , i really wasnt going to make the truck, but what hell, might as well. the truck wont be scratch but will be alot of modding so while the bottom half is drying from painting it, i will get started on the truck im going to do an 8x4, twin steer k/w, 26 inches , agressive tires in the back, chrome 2 holes bud rims, not sure on motor and transmission yet.
