Default Mini Materials

I came across a page for Mini Materials on Facebook recently and decided to order a pallet of 12 concrete blocks to see how it would match up to my trucks and forklift. They are 1/12 scale but will be usable, pretty neat! Guess now I have to order a whole truck load LOL!

That forklift looks mighty familiar, does the propane tank house a battery?

No the battery is underneath.

Bigford, that will be a big help in keeping my load economical, still would be expensive as these are $19.99 each.

You could buy the mold making compound from the Smooth OnCcompany in Spokane WA, & make a mold of them to make your own bricks.

Looking good, which forklift is that?

They also sell silicone molds for concrete blocks, bricks.
Pallets, barrels, bricks, lumber, breeze blocks, crates, jersey barriers...
