Thorsten,

That is an excellent model, do you have a built thread on this anywhere? I hadn't logged in here in a while, I am glad I did now.

Forgot to mention the weathering on the excavator, it is impeccable. I can only dream of achieving such as effect, how did you do it? Thanks.

Hi again,

thank you ;-)

There is no building threat yet. But I publish a small "how to" in the german magacine "miba" (http://miba.de/verlag/15087439.htm?4)

to weathering the modell you can use chalk or a box of watercolours. So if you take turpentine insteat of water, the effects will fit on the resin.
Just take a look inside the www to learn about the appearance of the original

I attache a picture to take a look inside the excavator and another one that shows the winches

best regards
