Any heavy construction equipment?

Been going through the list and seem to find no requests for heavy machinery, like a Hitachi or Cat excavator or the like. I apologize if this a reapeat request, but as I said, I hadn't found any reference in the forum thread list. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

There is two versions of excavators out there, the Chriess model and the my version that I have re-worked and improved of the Liebherr 964, Chriess's version is based on the Liebherr 954.
You can find them at Jon Leslie's webpage, google lower hudson The Lower Hudson Valley Paper Model E-Gift Shop
My model is also at the Zealot webpage, find the downloads area and it is under commercial and civilian vehicles it is made up od 2 documents.

There are a few kits of heavy equipment on the Canon Creative web site available as free downloads.

Not sure where you've been looking but there are plenty of construction machinery builds and designs available out there and some very nice examples right here on this forum, try scrolling through the "civilian wheels" build forum for some really nice ones... here's one to start you off Excavator HSW L-34 (Renova Model N4)

Thanks Jaffro! I've been doing some net searches and finding a lot of Japanese sites,which have a lot of really nice looking stuff, but I can't seem to navigate very well and find what I'm looking for there. I'm no giving up though, there seem to be plenty of other sites to keep me busy both hunting and finding. lol

UPDATE:Wow, that's some model! I went ahead and downloaded the files and only had one minor potential problem I can see, all the parts are white. I've not dealt with any models yet that are not precolored. Guess I need to dig into it and see what I can do about that. Thanks again to all for the answers and suggestions!

Canon has a few things too (an excavator, dumptruck, shovel and bulldozer). Heaviest construction craft i have seen was a TBM. Some stuff is here too: PlayLand - Œš‹@‚ƒpƒCƒIƒjƒA ŽˆdH‹

303 ƒgƒ‰ƒbƒNA—pŽ has a few more things (some might be dead, but check those links with the Wayback Machine website)

Streetpaper.de has a telescope crane: streetpaper.de

And this site has another bulldozer and 2 excavators: http://web.archive.org/web/200803111...raft/main.html
