Mack DM800 Logging Truck - By Ben Seleen


First-time contributor Ben Seleen built this 1/87 Mack line truck used for logging. Ben started with a Mack DM800 white metal kit (most likely Alloy Forms) that was assembled that he found; it was just a cab and frame and wheels. He first used styrene strips for the frame and a big piece frame for platform and little piece of scrap wood for the drums to sit on. The drums are from a Bachmann steam donkey motor Ben found. He used chain for the pulley and weathered the deck.
