A good morning dio building this morning before my daughter drags her backside out of bed!
It's not finished but for now the mold had a coat of paint last night and then this morning the PVA glue came out to add some grass, bushes and some rocks. There is still a lot to do, i just need to nip into the local quarry to pick up some fine dust that collects under the conveyor belts. This will be put down so I can add tyre and track marks in and then seal it with a PVA spray.
I've bought a JOAL Morooka tracked tipper to add to it. I plan on weathering that a bit. It should arrive in the post today.
The pics so far.
Any points or criticism to improve it welcome as always.

It's 1:50.
A nice little model but debatable if it's worth the £120 pricetag.

Think I agree with your view on that

I thought it looked like it was digging its way through Nick Drews birthday cake!
Only kidding, unusual model, not seen one before.

Re: Menzi muck dio (in the making)
Well, lets be honest, are these things ever finished?
Here are a few photos of the finished article. I really need to get to grips with sorting a good background for the photos.
Off he goes to unload. (no comments on the lack of a full load please :-" )
