hummer13 ยท 2009-12-21 00:47

Made these up this weekend, these are going to be the new release for the new years from Nikl Scale Models. These 3 will be heading to the casters in a few weeks and should be ready shortly after that. No prices as of yet though if anyone is interrest let me know and I can get a feeling on how many I need to have made for the first run

    I have made buckets for the Liebherr 916 from NZG. I am planning on doing a ditching bucket along with a hammer and probably a grapple or thumb Jason

    I have recieved the first set of 20 of the 365 buckets. I had 20 of the Frost bucket, 3 shank ripper, ripper bucket, tilt bucket, trench bucket and I had the hyd. hammer casted in metal. All of these will be for sale $20 each $15 each if you purchase more then one. They come unpainted bare metal paint can be done with a additional charge. JAson

    Long reach boom kit for the CAT 365 this kit will use the cylinder off of the old boom on the machine. Boom will be done in resin to keep the weight done. Kit will come with extra wide ditch bucket Jason

    Where do I order some of these buckets and attachments from? I have quite a bit of 1/50 scale machines and recently bought a John Deere 450 from Ertl I think and a Cat 963D track loader.

    How do you weather your tracks? It looks great. That dull luster is hard to get with sand paper. Also, do you make any attachments as far as the forestry end of things goes? Great work, by the way.
