That looks amazing, a thumb would make moving that stuff alot easier. The boom looks very solid and i love the lights mounted on the sides like that , i may have to get a set from you.

Well decided to put the bruder excavator back on the workbench, nothing was wrong with it still running fine, wanted to experiment with a new style boom.In the process of building a new boom based off a pic I found of a demolition excavator .Also building a new arm with a thumb attachment , still have a lot of work to do on it, have a couple of pics so far , will get a test vid up soon
