The weight on the 1:1 777D is 142,573 lbs so if I did the math right the 1/12 model should be 82.5 lbs ??? So it may end up being a bit heavier than it should be in terms of scale....good thing this is a 1/12"ish" size and not 1/12 scale...LOL....

This model is massiVEE. And awesome I like the 1/2 inch kept above the frame part on the dump box I think it looks better than if it were to be cut flush. How many shovel-fulls of dirt you reckon this thing willl haul when you get there?

I am surprised how heavy it is, or will be, but then again it is a big model! Seeing it sitting on your lift table really helps put it into perspective for me, since we have many of the same sized lift table all around work.

At least you might be the first to say even the weight was accurately scaled down!

This truck is turning out to be much heavier than I thought....yikes...cutting it from solid material is a big reason for the added weight, at least something might be close to scale.....lol
