Hi BARV and other expert Scratchbuilders

What about this as a model in 1/24 Scale. Came across this while looking on MOD photo site. This would look massive against a DROPS truck taking a container off.

Saw it while browsing for info on DROPS and Bedford.

What do you think? Massive Model!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this a beast of a forklift. Anyone got basic top, front, rear and opposite side view pics? info. Side view looks easy to scale off by proportions.

One to think about for a future monster bash.

For pete's Nige!

Don't let Steve (BARV) see that!!!

It will just set him off again!

Actually... He's probably already done one.

BARV

Can I commission you to build one to put next to my DROPS??????? Tee hee

My build rate would take me to 2020 to get round to finishing that beast!!!

Casper want to run off some tyres after BARV's set, the Bedford set!!!!!!

Murdo? You fancy a bash at a beafy build in 1/24?

I take it that you have a plan to build at some time??????? Yes!!!!

That would be a walk in the park. What do you reckon the width of that sort of beast would be? Maybe 3m!! Would think it would need extension plates on a low loader for transport. Just trying to imagine general proportions.

Liked the wee champ you did. What is next on your workbench?

Thats not what I heard .

Nige :I had a quick looksie yesterday for info - looks like Lancer Boss has been sold off to a Euro Company. A fairly simple panelled vehicle you should be able to knock one up between the other builds.

Nige,

I really hope your model width scaling is better than your post width scaling.
