This needs to be a commercially produced model. I want this so bad. Very nice work as usual!

Now you're just showing off  Personally I'd say a beast like this would look killer in a vivid green and black scheme similar to this challenger:

My vote is for a mid blue colour with wite stripes or silver and red Nabekai style  Maybe You build two or three of these in different colours

Black and red - a mega Mammoet Demo machine. That's my vote.

I think it would look great in a colorscheme similar to what Kobelco use on their machines today.
Also really nice boom extentions! But wouldnt it be easier to build one and then cast it in resin? You can make how many you want and they will be exactly the same.

Fire engine Red is my vote. Monstrous demolition machine.

Thanks for all the compliments I am putting a lot into this build. Once I am finished I will look into casting this and selling, sounds like people would purchase. Quote:Also really nice boom extentions! But wouldnt it be easier to build one and then cast it in resin? You can make how many you want and they will be exactly the same.
YOu can not see from the pic but the upper extension is just alittle smaller then lower to cut down on weight. But if I do cast I would probably use just one size. Quote:Is everything computer cut.
The main pieces laser cut are the boom pieces, everything else is hand cut with a razor knife. I am working on the last extension piece that will attach to the short boom between stick and boom. I am going to be redoing the cab guard and linkage arm, doing this will allow the cab to rotate for travel mode and I will get a bigger angle for cab tilt. As for paint I see a lot of red and silver , I have to tell you I am not a good painter but we'll see what I pick when the building is done Jason

I think this would be a nice model to put real decals and paint scheme on. Just my thought.

Well I had the house to my self today, so I took advantage of a nice quiet house and knocked out the complex elbow joint short boom for the long reach. I wanted this joint to be modular just like the rest of the machine.  looks good on the machine  Extended
