The used/weathered look to the excavator boom and bucket is just fantastic. Amazing work. I'll second the look of the blown tire/wheel. Very nicely done.
midnightprowler Hands down that is the most realistic truck model I have ever seen!

That is some great detail work! With the proper basing I think it could pass for the real thing.
I especially like that ripped-up old tire.
Ok fellas. I just completed the trailer to the 142H tractor unit I had built for the Steel Haul that I was supposed to use but did not. The boom is from a toy digger I bought at a cheap store. I had planned on using it as a load for my heavy hauler rig, but the amount of work I had to do on it to get it looking right, would have taken me ages. So I opted to salvage what I could and use the parts for something useful. So now I had a use for the boom. :) I added hydraulics using soldering iron wiring and styrene tubing. I wanted it to look alive. The trailer is the Italeri curtain trailer kit. I only used the chassi and bottom half of it. I then scratch built the extra floor and added tie-downs.So now this tractor has a trailer, I think, goes together pretty well. Hope you like the results. Thanks for looking. Lots of detail pics:
