O.K.
I´ve just returned from the Minibauma in Sinsheim.
And Stefan Höll who offered me to share his table with me had some nice repainted and custom excavators with him.And so I had the opportunity to make some group shots of my models next to his.

My 385 and his 375ME


My 385 and his 365ME


385,375,365,345,330 all in a row :d/
I guess this has never been seen before.








I´m going to post more pics from the Minibauma tomorrow.

Damn....

I was at the Mini-Bauma today as well... But I totally missed your Cat...
I've seen the very nice Liebherr R 954 C repaints, and all of the towercranes. Oh well, maybe next year!

Hi Janh,
Just watch the video great review on the start to completion on this mass excavator project. I added a comment as well with a point to cat representatives being jealous Teeth . This project is one that will be a landmark on the forum memebers and results will show later on. Whats next on the project board much work needs to be created. However i guess u will take a rest then head back out.

janh--I can't even come close to typing the words to explain how amazing the 385 turned out. Your attention to detail, craftmanship, and skills are second to none. Applause

Awesome video showing your work.

also sent you a pm with a couple questions.

Excellent video Janh but am I the only one who didn't have the background music playing? Again, this is the best 1/50th scale 385 that I've ever seen. Damn impressive!

By the way, now you have it decalled, can we see the individual pictures of it all finalised posted here?

This is my favourite view on the model:












I still hope one day I can make some photos on a dio or in a real quarry mine to show it in its "natural enviroment".

It´s just for copyright reasons that I no longer put the music in my videos.
This is how I figured it out: Start my video and click on the link to the music video in the description which will then pop up in a new window.As soon as the music starts playing return to the window with my video and the music should play on in the background.

Funny thing:To synchronize video and music in the movie maker programm it was necessary to put the music into the video.
It´s still there but you can´t hear it because I set the music noise level to zero before I uploaded it to youtube.

I wonder if I used an old Jedi mind trick whether or not he would give this model to me. I will try and wait and see if I get a PM! Teeth

Had to dig this one up, what great work. Is there any comparison between the CCM 385?
