I'll second the comment on the paint job - looks great. Looking forward to seeing the finished unit

Thanks guys....this is one time the paint job looks better in the pics... it's not bad but it's not great either

Had to make some mods on a few thing that I forgot to do before I painted some of the parts so I didn't get as far along as I hoped today, here are the pics....

Looking realy good! The 777 is a favorite, have had plans to make one, some of your solutions are very good (like the suspension units). As usual, tires decide what can be built, tires used here are available over here to but to small for most scale 5,6 models.
Looking forward to see it finished!

Made a little more progress today....starting to look more like a truck again, almost finished....funny I don't remember there being that many fasteners in this thing when I took it all apart...taking longer than I thought...LOL....

Truck is looking good. Looks like the truck I built accept yours is 10 times bigger and looks more professional. I still like my tires better though.

Thanks!!!

I like the tire you made and used on your truck better too!!! Your tires are nicer and much more to scale than the tires I used!!

Almost finished putting this " glorified tonka truck " back together but as usual needed to make a few mods etc that didn't get done yet... but I did a get some pics of it with the box on....almost looks like the real deal!!

That looks great all painted up. I can't wait to see it all decorated with the decals.

[DADSGARAGE]

Hope you don't mind all the pics....( hope to load a short video later )

Nice build ..I see a small hoist in the background...Is that for lifting your machines in the back of your truck..you may need it for your Shovel..Cant wait to see that ..lol ..they do look chunky ..whats the weight

[ricm]

really great job - how much does it weigh all up? Have you tested it with a full load yet?

[modelman]

Truck looks fantastic!!! Your attention to details and just the way you built everything makes the truck look like it was factory made. You can be very proud of this build. Great job!! If you make another video or just pictures would you put something in the picture to show the size of the truck.

[Espeefan]

Really enjoyed your videos. I watched some of the others as well. The 110 pound load and incline test was pretty impressive! You did a nice job putting this model together, that's for sure. It doesn't seem to lack any power! Maybe you could even gear it up a little for a touch more speed.
