Re: Virtualmaker Luca excavator
Really nice model. Of course, I'm a Komatsu guy so it's easy for me to like it. Interesting bucket - I've not seen one like that before but I have seen unusual attachments and machine...

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
I've designed a "business" card that is being reviewed now, so we will have something to hand out. Also, working on a couple of signs to put up. A brochure would be good, if someone wants to work on...

Re: TANK TRAILER
Wow, this a just awesome example of scratchbuilding! Really enjoyed all the joints, fasteners and other detail items, especially brake cambers and folding handrails - things that don't get modeled...

Re: New, worlds largest rock truck 450 tons!
Wow! Should I scrap my 350 Payhauler and start over? The Belaz truck in 1:14 would be 2.5 times bigger than my truck - 58" long X 23" tall X 28" wide! And tires would be 11" diameter. But, you...

Your dozer looks and operates great! Waiting for some dry, non-clay soil so that big blade can do its carry-dozer routine. Love watching a huge mound of dirt being pushed a long distance in a...

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
Wow! Very good job with your truck. Paint and details do make a huge difference, and it operates very smoothly. Big enough to do yard chores!
