very nice job, what models did you use to build it

Nothing runs like a deere with a cat on its back but the link belt ate both of them

Beau travail Cédric, tes customs sont toujours impressionnants à voir! Ça fait un bout que je cherche un modèle Siku comme celui que tu as pris pour ta 964B, c'est l'enfer à trouver à un bon prix. Chapeau pour la cabine de la 345D, tu viens aussi de me donner une bonne idée pour celle de la 365C!

Excellent models Ceds! I especially love the E-series cab on the 345D (which appears to be quite common on a lot of the European machines), any chance you would cast and sell them? I'm sure they would be very popular here on the forums.

Thank you for all your comments ! Smile
It's not easy for me to understand all what you wrote, but i tried to do the best i can.
I don't sell any models or parts of them ... it's take me to much time to make them, sorry.
@ CatD11T : i dont undestand : " the vents " Sad

Here a picture of my 365Cl model :
Based model Norscot 365C FS, undercarriage and cab of Norscot 374D, boom of 365Bl, stick and bucket in resin and hydraulic lines in " evergreen " ( http://www.evergreenscalemodels.com/ )

I use 1mm spacing for the two right vents, and 1,5 mm metal siding sheet for the small one on the left.
