Wow I never saw that one. That looks like they copied a Bucyrus 495. I wonder what scale?

Best scratch built shovel I've seen! Incredible detail work! Nice find joe.

It's a very close runner up to your's Tom, probably the closest we'll ever see. :)

I subscribed to modellkran1, it came to me. :D

you guys saw that to eh? wow she's a beauty. small compared to the dragline though :D

Re: Here you go Tom...
 

it was massive.... by all accounts it weights over 100kgs aka 220lbs

The engineer and detail was amazing, almost too good to be painted!

Here's a short clip with it next to a 1:14 Damitz 360.
