Here is another 777 that has had the makeover and has gained a new livery. Not surprisingly one to join my Mt Arthur Family!









It has had an extended "silenced" radiator, extended cab access walkways, brass handrails all round, additional mirrors, fire suppression, rubber hose etc etc.

Enjoy!

The 777 looks sweet with the new facelift. Applause

That is great. The numbering decal on the side is nice.

Very cool, mighty fine job indeed. What's in your Mt Arthur fleet at the moment, do you have a D11R?

Richards work is more than comprehensive, I had a quick look but couldn't find his D11R thread, the detail in every machine blows my mind. Well done again Rich!...

PS.... You forgot to mention your 'high detail kit' on the 777 in the credits!

Stealing pics from the other thread however ->

Rich does everything from manufacturer sound suppression modifications to the simple beacon changes, his work is flawless.

The work he did on his personal 996 is perfect!

Great work again, Richard. Looks absolutely fabulous.

For all of you who do alot of "railing-work" on models please take a look at the following: http://at.robbe-online.net/rims_at.storefront/499dd90c0029d343271b3e0dc146063f/ChangeLanguage/EN?ISID=499dd90c0029d343271b3e0dc146063f

It´s a very small spot-welding device. A friend of mine used it to weld railings on his models. And it looks absolutly perfect. Besides the better looking result it takes a lot less time than brazing.

Seems like the place to be these days, in the last 12 or so months Cadia has lost roughly 15 (with more trying to get a start) of their more experienced operators to Mt Arthur.

No doubt but the Xstrata groups coal mines in the valley will be the recipient of nearly 100 yellow machines over the next 18 months or so.
