Northern Michigan

[Don Campbell]

Hi ,
My name is Don Campbell and I live in Northern Michigan. I built several static models over the years. Most of them were 1/12th scale or larger.
I got several comments over the years why did I build static models?
I met Rick from Garden Trucking several years ago and looked into the cost of making one of my models work. I was very surprised at the cost of all the parts so I just kept building my non working models. But I am still amazed at what I see in RC models. I do have a RC king hauler, the RC 9520 JD 4x4 articulating tractor , and several of the cheap rc dump trucks and loaders.
I just can't get over these incredible working mini machines.
I built my models from scratch , I have no milling machine or lathe so my tools are pretty basic and my work shop is small the size of a one car garage . I am the first to admit my projects are rough around the edges and my welding is rough and my body work and painting is not the best . But one thing is for sure we all share the love for trucks, tractors, and heavy equipment . I still can't afford to build a large RC model but it would sure be cool to see one of my larger models working .
