Default Re: Boom/crane truck

Thanks Guys!
Was going to paint frame,boom & bed black.Cab either dark or light blue.
Dreamweaver,Home-dip-shyt & lowes are a good place for starters.Or go to a metal supplier which is cheaper. Do you have any metal usa's around you? That's where I get most of my stuff.
Alarge part of the pieces I use I have to cut to scale because you can't buy it in a small enough size.
Well....made boom support,& mounted.







Didn't like the way control boxes looked,so remade them also.


Thanks for lookin!
