Sometimes it’s nice to just build a model instead of designing one. I’ve long been fascinated by the MACK truck. I found it had an awesome parts list, and offered great value. The building exceeded my expectations. There was so much detail in the model and some very interesting building techniques. Here’s a little build log.

The container is a little too heavy for the model and almost topples the truck.

In the end there's a generous amount of small pieces left.
