Really nice restoration work. Kinda job I really like looking at. Especially for rare pieces of equipment like this one. You must be proud of it. I sometimes dream I could find this, but in die cast rather than plastic. Contacted the English company that used to do it by it is no longer in production: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1-50-Mack-M-45-heavy-tractor-MAMMOET-Handmade-Resin-Model-/261327476493?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item3cd854d70d&_uhb=1

A Solido Kaiser never looked better.....way to bring one the life Pat!
Looking toward to the completion. BTW if you don't mind saying, what are the wheels....hand made, from a kit or parts dealer etc?
I've liked the thought of a WWII-Nam
era military dump.......have wanted to build a couple like they use in a town North of here for the street dept.

Thanks all. aCutter: only the rear wheels are hand made . Front wheels it's simple : tyres and rims from a kit of G.M.C by ASAM ( Allan Smith) Rear wheels: external rims made in steel with machine by myself , little rims in white-métal from Autocar U8144T made by Minicirque (french craftsman) and tyres from G.MC ASAM Rear wheels parts
