Well I have had this in pieces for 3 months now and I finally got it back together. I also made a ballast box for the model which I could mold if there is a big interest in it. Need to make it cost effective I am not sure if the box fits the 6x6 version as I do not have it. I saw 2 of these last week just could not get a pic, they were Haliburton units. These are huge trucks in person.

Here is a pic without the box on unit

Nice job Jason. I have this truck and really like it. I'm surprised that it hasn't received more attention from collectors that it has.

I think that it now available in Mammoet livery.

I wish I could get more tire/wheels like those on it as they are really big.
