    Heres the rest , Heres my whole collection 99% Cat equipment 1% Case and thats only a skid loader , most of the trucks are Kenworth except the fuel/lube truck and the 2 Mack flatbeds , I have built alot of other customs and accessories like barriers ,buckets ,mobile fuel tanks, genorators , light towers and alot of other stuff , if you want any more let me know , Thanks Hope you like them

    Oh and if you look close , you can see the longreach excavator I built , its kind of hard to see it because the boom is in front of a picture on the wall

    Here some pics with the D10R and 980C with the decals on , sorry for the quality I need a better camera to get good pics of the little details , but you get the idea .also a pic to show I opened the middle slot in the ripper for a shank since the model didnt come with it open

    Trainwreck , I would imagine finding one like that will be tough , but one like that would be cool to find, you never know you might have to try and build one

    Eh, I'm wondering, did you modify a body for the engine bloc or did you build a new one? Same question for the cab.

    It's really well done in my opinion.

    On the 980 my original plans were to build a whole different engine compartment like I did on my 980F , but after alot of thinking I just decided to put plastic on the outside of the compartment which was easier and it gave me the perfect width and height, I was also going to build new cabs for the 980C and F since the 980G cabs taper out at the bottom , but I had hell with them trying to get the angles right and the windows to look good , so after three days I gave up on them and just hoped no one would notice , I can build good cabs when they dont have alot of odd angles, but not when they have alot of odd angles
