Looking good Christoffer.

Is the Bruder drum vaned inside, could you fill it with sand and then spin the load off?

[hitachi]

its got those thingys inside yes
so it can eject its cargo when turning the right way
but the concrete cant be very wet since the drum is not watertight yet

[SWAGGER]

Oh yeah, this is really cool! Looking forward to the video too!

[hitachi]

long overdue but finally got a good video of the mixer in action

That thing is AWESOME! I just finished my first truck, and I can't believe the skills you folks have on here! I can see that this hobby is going to be very addicting for me.....

Nice mixer surely saw many of these when I was in the UK late last year they love their cabovers but did see a few American Peterbilts and Kenworths but not many truck looks great.

[dabears]

Tribal on the drum will look really cool!
