Forklift

I spent 15 years as a forklift operator and let me tell you, you got the aging perfect. Where I worked a brand new machine would look like that in about six months.

I'm not sure if you already answered this question - is this model scratchbuilt, diecast, or a kit?   If not scratchbuilt, who makes it?

Very nice work.

There's a fascinating forklift museum in the UK. http://www.nationalforktruckheritagecentre.org/index.html

Looks good. I have a small 15-20 diecast forklift collection. The only suggestion I might have is that most forklifts have the rear end beat to death.
