wow. boom looks great lou, this will be a nice addon to the collection, can't wait to see more. I really need to get my truck done, so I can come up and see these rigs and get some build tips and teck from you and Greg, cause once the dump is built, I am going to need something to load it,

Wow, that looks great! It doesn't look like you need any help with it (and you are going for a 2554) but Ertl makes a 1/50 scale 2954d which is pretty detailed.

Lou, That was a good idea with that long butt painted to look like a beer can, gives a good reference for size. If you guys plan on having a gathering of model builders there on the Island and you allow "foreigners", I would try and make it. Talk to you later, Fred
