Hack the Mack - DM600 to Something Else

As some of you might know already, I love cutting up styrene (plastic). Some "newer" modelers may be too scared to start cutting things up that they will need for their model kits, but the seasoned modeler has no fear! I've been building models since the age of 5. I've built a lot of the SAME KITS over & over; some because they were all that was available at the time, and others because they were cheap, like on clearance sales,,, yet still others just because I loved them kits so much. Either matter, each time I do build the 'same old kit', I'd like to change it up just a bit, sometimes to the extreme. This Mack, model DM600 by MPC was originally by General foods fun group, and also produced under the Ertl name) was recently re-released by the company called "Round2". I changed it to be a long-nosed hood, with the engine not into the cab. This is an animation made from the assistant in G+ (yes very crude! But kinda cool) ...
