Inspiring actually , as I got myself a 1/32 scale toy JCB telehandler a while back with the intention of trying to do it like one of your amazing creations . Its a personal thing as I come across these all the time as I deliver to building sites all over the country and I am always in awe of what a capable machine they are . If i can get anywhere near your level of realism Ill be well happy , cheers tony

      I thank you greatly foe your kind words. The fun part of doing this, is the weathering. Don't have to worry about the details as it is already done for you. I received this model as compensation for a weathering job I did for a customer at a show. It was pretty much a fun and quick project. Now I'm gonna see if anyone will buy it. Appreciate the support.

        Never done one of those but as you said, it would be interesting. Although, this particular type of equipment really don't get too dirty up, I suppose... Or does it?????

            Kudos to you then Rob , the capabilities of the JCB telehandlers and their operators is mighty impressive.
