I'm working on the exact same CAT collection. I have a healthy amount of farm toys, but I'm taking civil engineering at school, so I figure I need to get my construction fixings too.

Cool, get some pics up if you can. If you don't know, try ebay out. You can find some good deals there. Good luck man!:drinkup

Well, at the risk of throwing this thread off topic, here is my one favorite toy. Its a 1/43'd scale Belarus tractor thats made in the USSR

Image resizer

Here's a link to the easiest one I've used, from Microsoft itself. For Windows XP.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Scroll down and download the one titled Imageresizer.exe
Once you have it downloaded, selecting Small as the pic size works well for this board.
You can also batch resize with this tool to save time.

Hey Chris, how much do you think you have invested in all of your models?

Hey Chris, how much do you think you have invested in all of your models?

Way to much to say

I would say the average would be about a $100+ each if you took all their total values and divided it by the total # of models... I have one that's worth $800.00 and will fit in you hand.......

Are there a couple of Doosan / Daewoo among the ranks? If so, where can i get one?

 

[Bellboy]

Hi there. Do you have any doosan models there, and where did you get them? bellboy

 

[Bellboy]

Okay. My models can all fit on one shelf... which means that either I don't have a lot of models, or I have a huge shelf

I think the former... If these machines were the real, big, diesel guzzling giants we pine over, and you and I and every one who collects models on this forum were real contractors... i think i would stay in landscaping and building farm roads, with the occasional dam ... digressing. A+!

I dig the big Komatsu on the flat bed. Is it all insured?

Where did you get the parts for the 776 and flatbed?
I like it, the PC3000 looks great on it!

Retro Grading just recived some new equipment yesterday, a pair of 657G push-pull scrapers, and a D6T XLR with GPS. Now we can bid some big jobs!
Notice the slight size difference from our 627's.....

Are those 657Gs from Norscot or CCM? Just wondering becuase i wasnt sure if norscot incorporated the push/pull setup. Its amazing how more run-of-the-mill companies are starting to put alot more detail into thier diecast. TWH is making some really nice models, especially the lattice boom crawler cranes. the detail is just amazing. Good Pics!

Mine are Norscot models, and they are a good value for the money. I have seen some that have been superdetailed, that will give the CCM 637G a run for the money.
Here are a 1/16th scale pair, built by Jerry Hall.
The pair together stretch out about 8 feet! I'd hate to guess what they would cost.....

More pics of some more of his models. You ought to see the 666's he builds...last one I saw on Ebay sold for $2600....

Yeah i thought they might be from norscots line, im really getting impressed with norscots line lately especially the 2008 line. Im excited to see the actual pictures of the D11T that comes out this month and a few other new models. they definately do give CCM a run for their money especially with the detail and such. I like the ones from Jerry Hall as well, i can imagine it gets pricey and its hard to come by larger scales. haha they definately are addictive collectors items. Im big into TWHs model cranes, when i get some time ill post some pics of the Manitowoc 4400, Kiewit 14000 and the All Crane 18000 i recently purchased. TWH is amazing with the boom work and fine detail. Great pics! Thanks again Alan! :usa
