Charles King once again transforms a 'childs toy' commonly found in a supermarket into a realistic piece of heavy machinery.

Wow...a Brudor tansformation this time...very slick!
I like the worn seat cover{in the middle though?}...reminds me of our forktruck at work where the entry side always goes to snot.

Thanks. Glad Young like it. The worn seat was an idea i got from a pic of a similar one on the net in the exact same place.

Excellent job, Charles. I saw one of these in a toy store yesterday. You sure made a lot of changes.

Thanks Jim. Much appreciated. It was fun to convert. I may just end up doing another Bruder toy set. They seem to have many good toy construction, as well as trucks. With some work they can be made to look authentic.

I've been tempted to try one of their Mack Granite dumps. One of these day, maybe.
