Default Re: ~1:12 Miller Century M100 Rotator wrecker

That is an absolutely incredible piece of work. Very well done! Approximately how long did it it take to put all that together? Those big heavy rescue wreckers are one of my all time favorite trucks.

There is an old truck and equipment show held every year near where I live. Several years ago a nearby heavy recovery company brought in three of their big rotators and demonstrated how they would lift and move an overturned tanker trailer. It was an amazing demonstration. Their booms were not as big as the one you modeled (2-40ton and a 50 ton boom). And expensive!!! Asked the owner what one of those trucks cost and if I remember correctly he said the most recent one was $1.2 million. In 2017 dollars.

Again, congrats on the beautiful build.
