Thank you Benoit!
I would love to come to France again. I was young and in the Navy, the first time I visited your beautiful country. Unfortunately I will have to politely decline the offer, as I never get on Commercial Airliners these days, Their safety record is in decline and Pilot/flight crew health incidents are up 800% from just a few years ago. But do not despair...We can share all our creations right here on this great forum!

comme quoi une peinture sa change tout bravo

This one will receive detail painting and then it's on to final assembly. Last of course, will be the patina...

La peinture, les détails et la finesse des modèles, magnifique

Oui, Rick nous sort toujours des petits bijoux de finesse et détails !

Hello Friends,
I have moved slowly as you can see. The first light wash is on and wheels and tires fitted. It is starting to look like the picture I posted. I see from the close up photo that there are a few things I need to fix before proceeding further along.
Stay tuned.

Rick

Qu'il est beau ce camion.

Here is the build thread I promised to put up when I posted my "Big" shovel on the Weekly theme...
The base kits for this build were the ROCO Honest John Missile launcher (for its correct wheel base chassis). The ROCO Corbitt (for its cab) And the WIKING Shovel that was a leftover from one of the POLA buildings under construction .

Next was the Tire rack and Cab modifications to allow the boom to rest for transport. Then modification of the shovel chassis and finally the shovel house needed upgrading.
