Just a few shots of a recent project. The paint job is not perfect due to touch ups required because of the custom decals. Maybe I will redo the ends and sides of the tracker eventually, if I have the custom decals made with a professional printer. I also did not redo the whole boom arm; only the second section, so it is shorter overall (looks like 3-4 prototype feet, looking at the truck cab) than the prototype. But still works great with sufficient reach to be set in action on my layout. The plan was to have it all functional, including the truck platform, and all 8 OTM grips, and they all are.

Thanks for the nice comments guys, Indeed, the mode I do stuff, the more I need the challenge so to keep me learning. Those who want details about the equipment may watch this corporate video for detailed information:
I used a:
for the built, but heavily customized. The only thing that remains original is the cab.
I have scratch built most of the project exept the Pete's cab and the upper half of the excavator.

Ha! I though that layout and vehicles looked familiar.
Thanks for sharing: I haven't noticed it yet. I recall submitting a couple weeks ago but forgot about it.
Funny timing: I am currently working on CN MOW trucks, and a Kershaw brush cutter from Custom Finishing Models. I have purchased a few equipment that I will eventually build and weather. I shall post more on 1-87 vehicles eventually.
