Here are the few pieces of my collection.

Most of them are in Mammoet or Mammoet Salvage livery, but I am planning to do other liveries too eventually.

I will gradually add more and more equipment as I just got started with pictures sessions. Best is to come.

Note: For the custom made pieces, I will go as

1) Original (inspired from)
2) Source (on shelves model)
3) Project

I may have used pictures posted by some of you on this forum. I hope you won't be offended by me using them as reference.

Enjoy!

Stephane

1) Volvo Mammoet A40E. I customized a A40F last year, but this one is more accurate to the 1:1.

1) Mammoet SPMT spacers and paint customs. I've added details to the SPMTs and put 3M plastic pellicle to prevent scratches (just like in the A40E box);

1) Clam shell bucket. This one was my very first all custom piece. Steel with brass pulleys which are operational.
There is no reference in particular. I studied numerous designs on the web, made cardboard dummies and a failed (would not open due to short arms and wrong pivot point) first attempt.

Loads here. The corgi vessel is original, but the frame supports were reworked and painted. The Atlas Copco generator is one rare 1:35 piece of my collection, but it is hard to tell which scale it really is compared to the 1:50 other ones unless you are well knowledgeable of their specifications:

3) Scratch build. Spreaders, supports, LR1750 outriggers: steel. Outrigger pads: HDF.

Vans: Both Liebherr van & telelift are original. Note: Mammoet probably never owned Rovers Defender 110 that I know of, but I love mid 90's LR Defenders (wish I owned a D90!) and just felt like doing one as it was available in 1:50 (Corgi). Hence why it has no Mammoet fleet number:

1) Mammoet Store trailer & Mammoet Cargo Scania.

These will be for sale on e-bay this week-end; need more space for other projects...

Thanks Martin. It's never ending; some kind of disease. Once you got the viruse, the fever keeps growing. Whatever

I really like building these things. Actually much better than just collecting them.
I keep what is really relevant for my dio as the next step will be building haulage and lifting scenarios and have this in a dedicated Flick'r account. Will eventually post.

Thanks for your nice comments!

Stephane

Cracking Job..

just one mistake . The Grove RT ,real one is a Grove RT700E .. the modern day RT870

Think they also called it RT760 ,

The truck mount version was rated at 70T over the rear 60T over the side.

Q-Ball a wolf in Jesus skin ---the sorcerer of reasonable commentary





I smile & wave

Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo,
The trick is to ride and make it to the bell.

Thanks buddy, I always like it when I do something wrong (actually, I only went by the original model's box: it really states 870 but you must be right, even companies can do mistakes).

I am not a professionnal in lifting so I always like to know...

Not so bad ,Im sure Mammoet at some point rented one of those old hulk's.

One the bright side .

NZG did make an RT700E in 1/50.. and Mammoet does have these in current use .

Not such a bad day , just found another project

Finding one in 1/50 may be a bit of a battle.

Yeah, that one was cheap (found on EBay) and already white.

Maybe I will eventually convert it to the usuall black and red color scheme.
