Concrete Pump Truck

Ok so I got a temp job on pouring concrete slabs, raft foundations etc. Thought I'd give a shot at scratching a pump truck. Not as easy as the tractors since I work from photographs and don't really work according to a certain scale. Got the chassis and support legs done with most of the bucket. Noticing my mistakes on size. At least scratching is forgiving and mistakes are more easily rectified. Going very slowly on this one as the working hours are killing me

Thanks I appreciate. Actually ended the concrete idea, back on the Horizontal drills. Like they say rather get the devil you know...

Never seen such an animal. I assume it is used for large or elevated concrete pours. Does it act like a fire pumper truck, moving concrete mix from the cement mixer to the pour site?

Yes that is correct. Very handy and time saving for elevated pours
