Hey all,
So I did a quick mod on a FG Military Mack Dump. Unpinned the dump body, up detailed the lighting trim and added some custom tires and a fifth wheel. Goes pretty well with my Sword M1000.

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

No problem, it's just so unfortunate that most hobbies of all kinds are losing the people who had the imagination and ingenuity to do various things in the hobbies!! I'm a model railroader and even in that area there isn't a whole lot of young people doing that stuff!! Most young people want everything already done for them and they lack the taught and learned skills to make what they want and also they lack the patience it takes too!!! I'm 66 and believe me, my imagination out weighs my wallet!!! But my imagination and my skills are what keeps my brain going and sharp!!! Again great job and keep up the great work!!
