Custom Cat models and entire collection

[CAT D9H]

Thanks guys , It can get addicting very easy , I never imagined I would have a collection this big

 

[385C]

Awesome collection man! Would love to see some pics of your other customs you speak of, like the light towers etc!!:scool

 

[CAT D9H]

Thanks ,I ll get some pics taken of some of my misc. equipment and post them

 

[CAT D9H]

Heres some more

 

[CAT D9H]

heres a few more , every thing here I built except the buckets , with the exception or the rock bucket and ripper, I built the rock bucket for a 330/345 class excavator and rippers for everything from a 312 to a 365 the screener is still under going work , and I made over 50 of the barriers

 

[CAT D9H]

almost forgot some , the light tower is a custom I just threw together didnt take very long , I shouldnt have rushed it because it doesnt look to great. and even though I have a fuel truck I still wanted to make some small fuel tanks to leave at small jobs , I used fuel tanks from a 1:24 scale model truck,

Some great stuff man! You should market the barriers, they look awesome!

 

[oakland]

i agree with D5G about those barriers! i may need to try a light tower i have the arrow boards but no lights :beatsme i will see to it soon as it would be a nice addition to the fleet

 

[CAT D9H]

Thanks guys , I have thought about marketing them , I can turn them out pretty fast, but the danger level is too high , I could see myself loosing a finger from the table saw

 

[385C]

Thanks for posting CAT D9H! GREAT stuff I wish I had your kind of patience to be able to make those types of things

 

[CAT D9H]

Patience is a big part of it , it took me a while to over come that , I just take a break , or work on another part , or stop completly ,
All it takes is practice

Nice looking spread there.
I especially like the little JD paddle scraper. First time I have seen a model of that one.
Is it a 760?

 

[WabcoMan]

Thanks for that.
