Welcome!!! Nice work you do there, I wouldnt mind having one of them either. How much for one like the top one?
Shipping Cost When I shipped this one back to Massachusetts this past spring it cost me over $200. the sculpture was over 22lbs, total shipping weight was apx. 40lbs I hope this helps.
Sculpture Pricing Hello; That unit is a Deere/Hitachi 450 class machine its a 13 to 1 scale, its owned by a private collector.To make sculpture to that degree of detail again it would be $ 7,000.00 If you have a interest please let me know. Take a look at my web site for some of my other work. www.SteveColby.net
WOW thats a good bit of money, if i ever hit the lottery ill giva ya a call lol but out of curiosity how long does it take you to make one like that?
time spent The base sculpture with minuman detail 100 hrs. then add another 200hrs to do the undercaciage detail. The additional detail of the hydraulic lines the thumb, hand rails,glass in the cab its all time. heres a picture of part of the track.
