I think a Thiess version is almost a given. Another version in a wooden box is also a good possibility. Here are a pair of photos from Steffen.

Rivet heads look huge and not so great. IMO..

Although not the backhoe (yet!), I thought I'd try my hand at posting a pic of a 9800 build diorama I've been creating. The shovel will be replaced by a backhoe to make scene true to real in future. You can see a time lapse of this build of the moolarben machine on Liebherr minings facebook site. The diorama is now in Liebherr offices in the hunter valley.   "/>  "/>  "/>  "/>

How easy was it to split?

Split is relatively easy.
Plastic pins in boom etc, are better if you push from inside where possible.
Getting counterweight off is probably the hardest, as you need to get inside the model in the engine bay to pop up the roof to get at counterweight screws.
There is a big screw in the centre of the main chassis I under white plastic cover, this allows the main chassis/ boom pivot to come out, and then access the engine bays!
Happy wrecking!! Tearing a 9800 model apart at its cost isn't for the faint hearted!

Quote:is there originally an engine in the Conrad Model...or is is this done by you? Good spotting! There is no engine in original, just a big open space. When the counterweight came off and was posed with crane the gaping hole looked terrible so I cast an engine module to fill in the void.

Does anybody know how many real machines were produced with this style access ladder?
