Finally reached the finish line with this project. It’s my first attempt with a scratch build. The only problem I encountered was the mounting pins for the stationary end of the ramp cylinders. I snapped both of them off yesterday. No room to drill out the broken pins. Lesson learned?…next time use brass or aluminum rod! Thanks for looking :) Now for the next project…

Well either you were already planning on pulling it with the tri-axle, or you did that for me! Im speechless man! This is the nicest scratcbuilt lowboy Ive seen. Maybe because its a slightly different style than the norm. It looks great

The excavator looks good to, where did you get it

Thanks Clayton... this is the NewRay excavator. The kit that it comes with says 1/32 scale but the excavator scales out to 1/25 :)
