not sure if this is the right place to look
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, July 10, 2009 11:21 AM
Does anyone know where I can get construction equipment to build ?? I am looking for Caterpillar excavators, front loaders. I typically build armor, but this is something I have wanted to do for a while. I would like a scale no smaller than 1/50. I'll post this in armor, too.

There are also a few larger ones.  I know theres at least a 1:25 scale Cat D8H and John Deere Backhoe, they can kinda get pricey though.

If you do happen to build one and want to stick with them military color scheme, let me know.  I drive the trucks that move those thigns around for the Marine Corps an have plenty of pictures of them, both armored and unarmored.  Could be an interesting oppotunity to do some scratchbuilding and also sticking with your armor experience.  In any case, most of the ones I have seen don't have the tri-color scheme, they are either just green or just tan.  Parts that have been replaced are foten still yellow from the company(they never got repainted) and many parts are fabricated, especially out here in theatre.   Shoot me a message if this is something you would want to look into.
