Here's a custom piece I made a few months ago. I took the cab and chassis from a First Gear Diecast 1:34 Scale Mack "R" Series cement mixer and fitted it with the body from a First Gear Diecast 1:34 Scale McNeilus Rear-Load garbage truck. I custom painted it in the old school Waste Management paint scheme and logos. This project took me about 4 or 5 days from start to finish! I also did some custom work on the body itself, making the packer mechanism and ejector panel functional!
First Gear Diecast 1:34 Scale Mack MR w/ Custom Scratch-Built Recycle Truck Body
I know a select few of you have seen picture of this from when I first finished building it back in the spring, but for most of you this truck is a complete surprise! I took the cab and chassis from a First Gear Mack MR rear-load garbage truck, and built a custom curb-sorter recycle truck body for it. Most of the body is made from 1mm styrene plastic. This took me about a week to complete. As you can see, I accidentally damaged one of the "hydraulic cylinders" on the top door, which I haven't gotten around to replacing yet. Other than that, this truck is complete!
