Nice models logger, I had a Bobcat mini and inadvertently lost it in the trash. But while I did like it I wasn't fond of not being able to use the back fill blade. I have gotten the Terex TC50 mini excavator and that is awesome and the blade works and I even went "bigger" and got the Volvo EC20 and that little guy even has a working blade.
Can't wait to see more pics, I know we have a good set of logging models too with the Valmet harvester and forwarder along with the John Deere log loader and feller buncher. Now just need some log trucks and maybe a skidder or 2.

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

Here is my most recent purchase a Joal Cat 375. I ended up paying $98.00 shipped witch compared to other 375's for sale is a good deal.    this photo shows one of my christmas models. a sword 357 with east dump.   Now i am going to need a bigger truck to haul it. Any suggestions for some one with a small budget.

The Joal Cat 375 is really nice. It does not have the detail of many modern models, but I just like it. For a hauler you might look into one of the old Corgi Kenworth W900 W/ 5-axle lowboy. It needs a jeep, (IMO) but it could be a start. I have seen them going from $50-$175.

This arrived today after buying it off of Ebay last week with plans for converting it into a water tanker. Corgi Mack R Model with tanker trailer. It is most commonly called 1/48 scale but is actually in between 1/50 and 1/53.        After receiving the model I have decided to make it a Tri axle heavy haul truck, instead of a water tanker. I would like to ask that anyone that builds custom trucks often, if they could guide me along,as this is my first custom truck, and I dont want to screw it up. Also If you know where I could find parts for it, at a lower cost that would be appreciated. I know that i am going to need new wheels/tires for it, mirrors. (might have to make them.), headache rack and fifth wheel. among other parts. Any and all help would be highly appreciated.

Hey Mclean! One recommendation that I have is when you do new wheels/tires is that you boost the ride height. That way it will look more realistic.

Added this model this past week, eventually I would like to have a pull pan for it, but for now I am going to build a 16ft box-scraper, And does anyone know of a 1/50 sheeps foot roller?

I know that EMD made a tow behind sheeps foot, but they are expensive and pretty hard to come by, but check Ebay. You might even be better off just making one from scratch.

I like the 16ft box scraper. Did you had a 1:1 model or just figured it out yourself?

Stephane I based it off of one I found online, It had a few dimensions on the site and quite a few photos.
