Here are a few new models I've customised. The Komatsu PC3000 I bought off Ebay. It had been previously meddled with, so I figured weathering was the best bet after swapping the undercarriage with an older Demag 285's.   1:50 NZG Komatsu PC3000 weathered scrap by ****llection, on Flickr"/>  1:50 NZG Komatsu PC3000 weathered scrap by ****llection, on Flickr"/>  1:50 NZG Komatsu PC3000 weathered scrap by ****llection, on Flickr"/> Here's a Liebherr 954 with the long demo boom. I had some 984C tracks which suit it quite well.  1:50 Conrad Liebherr 954 Demolition by ****llection, on Flickr"/> I added a scrap shear to this Sumitomo S90 by Diapet  1:45 Diapet Sumitomo S90 scrap shear by ****llection, on Flickr"/> Finally, this Case Poclain 1085 had faded paintwork, so I turned it into a tracked machine and painted it Poclain red. It would also make a great tree harvester!  1:35 Conrad Poclain 1085 tracked excavator by ****llection, on Flickr"/>

Me too. It is an "All world" custom. How much time did it take you? CAW

Thanks! Which one Quinella? The PC3000 took me a while, plus I've just gone back to it today to re-do the bucket - more wear and some bare metal.

Hey Jamie,
Why do I have the overwhelming sense that some 'wavy' and 'liberty' CAPS were involved with the Cruz-Air mods??????????????????
Just as a friendly heads-up so you're prepared for what's coming; this machine has Italian origins and there is no "French connection".

I may have had a glass of wine or two when contemplating what to do with my old faded Case 1085. It seemed like the best option, but there are several French people vomiting over their keyboards as we speak. I'm also expecting Macron to be in touch asking for a formal apology to the people of France.

A Joal Volvo L330 wheel loader just finished. A few additions like new wheels (off a Joal JCB wheel loader), new railings, fire extinguishers, rear grille, bucket teeth. Had I had a bit more patience, I'd have stripped the old gloopy Joal paint off and done a full repaint. In fact the more I think about it, that's exactly what I should have done!  1:50 Joal Volvo L330 wheel loader custom by ****llection, on Flickr"/>  1:50 Joal Volvo L330 wheel loader custom by ****llection, on Flickr"/>

It takes a lot of work to get that old Joal paint off. It's usually thick and sticks pretty well to the model, but once you get off you can see a lot more detail in the castings.

Those models look great! The Komatsu looks 100% like the real machine, great work.
