Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)

Been following this since the beginning and I knew it was a "big" project, but seeing that soda can sitting underneath, that really brings home how big this thing is.

Fascinating to see this come...

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Re: Palfinger Model 1:14 scale from Malaysia

Was going to ask you if the crane would not interfere with the trailer. Had not seen that you have moved the hitch backwards.

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer
