Thanks Matt.
I finished the tow truck this week:
I added the red toolbox on the side. It's just a plastic crate that I sanded the sides to fit. and I used some styrene 'c' channel to make the reinforced front bumper.
on the other side I glued some wood blocking. I added the two beacon lights using some orange glass beads and painting them in a clear orange.
The hook came from the scrapbox. I weathered the truck with some vallejo 'dirt' out of the airbrush.
When you have a wrecker, you need a wrecked car. out of the same Junk Autos pack came this 55 cadilac shell. The t-boned dent was already there in the casting. O painted the shell and added the window glass.
I made a new chassis out of styrene and cast four wheels for it. The hole drilled in the front is for the wrecker hook.
And the completed combo.
I'm continuing to work on both Alloy forms vehicles and other manufacturers' offerings. I'll post as I compete them.
