Here are a few of my creations. All static 1/25 scale made from mainly plastic.

CAT 621 with Johnson Elevator. This is the current one I am still working on.

That's some fine craftsmanship! I think that's the first time I've seen a D4D modeled. I would like to get a real D4D one day. I have a friend who's brother made some really nice wooden models I think 1/16th scale. He's done a Cat DD9 and a 651 and others.

Wow, great talent. Are you molding these pieces or just using styrene or what. That knuckle buster (12E) is great haven't seen one of them in a long time and kinda glad of it. Keep up the great work.

Patience and talent go hand in hand. Those are great models! Keep up the nice work and keep them coming

They are made by hand from mostly styrene and whatever else I find that I can use. Takes a while but I enjoy doing it.

Those are all wonderful 1/25 scalers! I model mainly in 1/25 scale. My only entry here on this forum is my 1/25 crane, everything else I do in 1/25 is scratchbuilt or kitbashed plastic.

Do you work from drawings, blueprints, etc? Great work! Dan

Man you got talent, that is a great job.

[Zimms Customs]

These are very nice, to say the least. Have you ever thought of making them R/C?

[rc_farmer]

Those are very nice pieces of work. You have a serious talent, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments. No havent thought of R/C. I think they would be a bit light as only made from styrene so not enough strength. Size another problem as are 1/25.
