nice work, a work of art. I may need to get you to come help me dig out from all the snow we have here when you get it finished. We have over two feet already this is to much for this early in the winter.

Cut some panels for the box ealier today....not sure if I want them (1/2") above the frame like in the pics or even with the top of the box frame....What do you guys think???
The holes in the panels will be plug welded and then sanded flat...to avoid seeing any welds....the box floor on this model is flat unlike the real deal...kinda wish I had made it more like the real deal...would look much better...the flat floor was the easy way out...LOL..

( when it is finished I will get the actual weight...I'm only guessing on the weight being 85-90lbs...but my back tells me I'm close!!! )

The weight on the 1:1 777D is 142,573 lbs so if I did the math right the 1/12 model should be 82.5 lbs ??? So it may end up being a bit heavier than it should be in terms of scale....good thing this is a 1/12"ish" size and not 1/12 scale...LOL....

This model is massiVEE. And awesome I like the 1/2 inch kept above the frame part on the dump box I think it looks better than if it were to be cut flush. How many shovel-fulls of dirt you reckon this thing willl haul when you get there?

I am surprised how heavy it is, or will be, but then again it is a big model! Seeing it sitting on your lift table really helps put it into perspective for me, since we have many of the same sized lift table all around work.

At least you might be the first to say even the weight was accurately scaled down!

This truck is turning out to be much heavier than I thought....yikes...cutting it from solid material is a big reason for the added weight, at least something might be close to scale.....lol
