Mountain Mover

[hobbybobby]

Tom Daniel, ~1972, ~1/32

Huge off road trucks are a gas!

The first really big one Tom Daniel ever saw was one built by Euclid (a subsidiary of GM), back in the late '50's, which had the dump bed filled with water and acting as a swimming pool.

By today's standards that monster would be considered puny!

The Mountain Mover, was part of the Snap Tite construction vehicle series...

These kits were only produced in 1972 and have never been re-issued, so they are kind of hard to find.

This is my version, a few small changes and a new base, this is an old build, but I've never posted it here, hope you like it!

Great work on this "Mountain Mover", have not seen it before anywhere. Your photos really give it that car-toon attitude of being air born, good idea that. Cheers Eh!

Here is my original box:






And yes, there is a small base in which you insert the rear wheels...






... i didn't want the wheels to touch the ground, rather that it looked like they were in motion...
