There is no doubt about it. You Sir are the modeler of the Century. I don't know what to say other than it's PERFECT.

I dont think he "owns" that one anymore. From what I have heard, this one is owned buy International Union of Operating Engineers Local 324. I believe it is at our main office in Livonia Mi

Beautiful model!
Absolutely love the weathering job as well.
Nothing says old rig like lots of exhaust soot.
Again, thanks for sharing.

Very accurate and detailed model! The weathering effect is perfect, thats hard to do!

Dump on the edges, the middle will take care of itself.
Never look down on ANYONE! Unless it is to lift them up.

Very, very impressive!. I am so impressed by the little details, like the wrenches on the hood and gauges in the cab! Cool truck crane and cool model!

Great models. Guess with that much detail it this kinda answers itself, but what did you use for material, Brass, white metal, plastic or a mix?
