I recently contacted Mike Psiaki about redoing my favourite childhood set 6357 in a modern and detailed form. He agreed and after much conversation, sharing of photos and work this is the result. The helicopter was mostly made by Mike and the truck by me but both were discussed at length to get them looking as good as we could manage. The trailer was a true combined effort with each of us contributing many ideas.
Although Mike has been more busy building than me.
My first thought of reference was http://peeron.com/inv/sets/5590-1 even though I had, I think, 2 copies of 6357.
I’d always thought of it as the very first redux of the set :)
