Umineko Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Eventually this one will find it's way into a diorama, it's my Mirror models Diamond T wrecker with a few mods to represent a post war civilian truck... essentially built from the box with the exception of adding the larger wheels from the Tamiya Dragon Wagon after finding a photo of the real vehicle similarly converted... was a bit of fun getting it all to fit but here it is... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 very very nice - love the rusty tools & chains in the rear... been looking at this or maybe the new wrecker (holmes) as something a little different. how was the build? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 You have done a brilliant job on this Model. I know what the Mirror Models are like to build so well done. I have this in my stash with about another ten mirror models. Excellent weathering done and I hope mine turns out just as good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umineko Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 It wasn't the easiest of builds Rob... but having said that if you make absolutely certain the chassis is straight the everything fits where it's supposed to... the most difficult part is the plethora of tiny fragile parts and the multitude of molding gates. but the end result is worth the pain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
