Fort McMurray Hot Tub

[dptydawg]

The last issue of Dominion Iron (the newsletter for the Historical Construction Equipment Association of Canada) had these two photos on the back cover.

They were captioned "Fort McMurray Hot Tub" A quick google search found the originals and they screamed diorama to me.

I had an old remote controlled New Bright model of a Cat 245 excavator that was long past its prime. So I hung a beating on it and gave it a CIL tune-up (new paint job) found a base and ground the clothes off a Fujimimechanic/Tamyia Campus kid. Eventually I will replace the soapy water with some clear casting resin. Its built as a 1/25th scale diorama

Please enjoy my project and remember "Its just a hobby"

Thanks for looking
