Pan the camera down just a bit to keep the cars in the background out of the picture, and you would have a hard time convincing most people it was not the 1:1 version.

I was amazed by how realisticly it loaded.

Sorry to hear about your job. Hope things improve for you.

If times were better here, I would be interested, but no way I could swing something like that now.

Best of luck. Don't be a stranger here. We have enjoyed your project greatly.

Hey dirtpusher9,
I am real sorry to hear about getting laid off. Selling the RC dozer/scraper combo must be heart breaking after all that work. Hope things look up and you can keep it.

Awesome Job!! Amazing attention to details! If I didn't know it was a RC I wouldn't have to been able to tell the difference. Thanks for sharing!
