Hey guys, i finished building my first custom today and although its not 100 percent to scale im very happy with it being that it is my first custom. Please let me know what you think. I am going to add a larger bucket soon if i can find one.
Thanks
Kevin

Try looking for a slightly larger bucket, giving you the ME (Mass excavator) set up they you'll be up to scale.

Sorry, none of us are badass enough to make our names a cuss word. Would you please stop telling us what your name is ?

No one cares.

Great job, I especially like the undercarriage setup as opposed to the models you see using the Hitachi 450 undercarriage. Yours looks much better and the overall model is sensational! Nice work!
Cheers,
