After about 2 years of sitting on this project, I finally took my CCM 385 project to an end. It is basically based off Sureway Construction's unit 157, which is the first 385 I ever worked with, and first 385 I ever ran for work.

157 is a 2008 Caterpillar 385C L, with an 18'1' stick, Verachtert quick coupler, 78'' (I think, I honestly can't remember exactly) 7 cubic yard Cat bucket and rounded counterweight.

The real deal:

Hi Antho,
Great job on the custom work you did with the 385CL and truly you're an engineer. I love when we take the real machine at a company and scale it down in model form. What material was used for the build brass or styrene.

Roland.

Thank you Roland. All the new parts were made in styrene and the counterweight was cast in pewter to leave the original untouched.

Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.

Nice machine. That turned out well. This just proves we need more long stick excavator models. You are not placing deep pipe with a ME excavator. Teeth
