'76 GMC K35 Sierra Grande with a Holmes 480 Twin Boom.

[Nick Winter]

Finally finished it, I started it November 21/2010, so over 2 1/2 years ago. mixture of scratch-building, kit-bashing and some resin stuff.

Progress can be found here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68198

Not perfect, but finished.

That's a looker, Nick! There's a ton of equipment on that .. I especially like the wheel lift.

[Gluhead]

Nice job, Nick...and "Holmes Sweet Holmes"...I lol'd.

[disabled modeler]

I really like that style of boom...nice.

[pharoah]

That is sweet! I really like old wreckers.

[mikemodeler]

Nice job Nick, glad to see this one finished! You need to build a roll back to compliment your fleet!

[Lunajammer]

This really turned out well Nick. Your extra detailing on the back makes a huge difference. The lack of detail on this kit (and my lack of knowledge) is what's kept me from proceeding on mine until I get better references.

[o-man]

Like others have said, the detail on the bed is way cool!

[realgone58]

Very nice! Beautiful job on the wrecker especially.

[Nick Winter]

Thanks guys I appreciate it.

Thanks Mike, this actually only used about 3-5 parts from revells Wrecker of the 90's molded in Orange, originally released as the Captain Hook wrecker, I used the hood (which you can see is still bleeding even though it was sealed), chassis pan, rear differential, interior tub, and dash, I think that's it. the rest came from a built up Revell Hot Rod truck or the parts box, or I scratchbuilt it, I got lucky on references I found a '82 C30 with Holmes 440 Wrecker in a local scrapyard and used it along with some brochure photo's (GMC & Holmes) to finish the truck.

I do have a set of blue prints for a Jerr-Dan Rollback.............................

Thanks Mike, I found a 'wrecked' wrecker at a scrap yard and was able to crawl all over it and dissassemble a few things to see how they worked.

Nice job, Nick...and "Holmes Sweet Holmes"...I lol'd.

I'm glad you picked up on that Chris!
