Finished building a low bed to go with my P16 yesterday mainly to haul my 009 around since it’s not powered. Hope everyone has a blessed Sunday

Hey guys! My wife and sister are creating a Logging themed Christmas tree for a local scholarship auction. They want to have an entire operation around the base of the tree. I have a few models (the ones that come with whatever Machine you buy) but between me and my boys growing up they are not in great shape. Would anyone be willing to sell or donate any models? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, here is my FREELANCE loader...roughly based on a TL-15 in 1:87 scale....
It is a mix of Kit bash and scratch built parts....
It will look will look great on my logging RR layout...I hope....

Awsome even though I think in the real world the M4 tracks is not wide enough for that kind of job.

Timber looks great - what species do you use?

Thanks, and agree with you on the tracks...but that is the only tank body that is even close enough...1;87 is always full of compromises....and once on the layout it will blend in and give the right impression.
As to the timber...these are bits and pieces I find in the park...i carefully strip the bark trying to keep the base color and then let it dry slowly....on some I give it a spray of flat clear to set everything.

Very nicely done ! And you have a Menck Face shovel...it has great detail and I have used them as a base for kit bashed machines....

Here is my TL-6...finally finished it.
Not as easy as I thought trying to create the illusion of motion in the grapple....
