LIEBHERR Mining equipment
by Shoey Tue 27 Oct 2009, 2:19 am
For something a bit different. 1:50 scale diecast mining equipment. I painted these up for a friend who works with the real ones at Blackwater.
these things are bloody heavy, I was gettin a sore arm moving them around.

Geez Shoey you've nailed the art of weathering to a 'T'. They look so good mate. What brand are the diecast models?

OK , hands up who thought they were looking at photo's of full sized equipment 
The weathering is perfect , only snag is all the steps and ladders are too straight , everyone I've seen has been bent and straightened by poor operators trying to hide it from the boss (it's the only way I could convince myself that these are photo's of models and not the real thing) ....

Yeah, you're right there Ian. IRL the bottom of the ladder on the dumper would be buckled and mangled.
Bit tricky to pull off in 1/50 though.
