Hello,
the time is 11:32 p.m., but I hope to be able to show you photos from the construction of the command bridge, as I had decided today.

Hello Lachezar,
Question: How do they steer this? Do the front wheels turn left and right like any other truck?

**Lachezar** · #13 08-31-2023, 02:08 AM

Hello Michael,
of course it will be able to turn left and right. With the first three photos I illustrate this. Safety railings and stairs follow. With the last three photos, again for comparison, I show the dump truck among my other models in the same 1:100 scale.

'Command bridge' is not the usual way to describe the driver's cabin, but in this case it seems appropriate.
It has come together remarkably quickly with just the load bucket remaining, and the build quality is excellent.

Your attention to detail is amazing.
I don't think my hands are steady enough for that railing, even using my general method on difficult builds -- build three and use the best one.

Hello friends,
Thanks to Siwi, and Vermin for the comments. Siwi, i used the term command bridge because this truck looks like a large land ship.
I continue with the cargo bucket. She turned out to be quite laborious. For stability in the making and I used a strengthening box.
Here are some pictures:

Hello,
the cargo bucket is ready. It is mounted in place. I will show pictures of the finished model and await your comments.
Greetings Lachezar.

Great modeling, and excellent choice for a scratch build.
Very nicely done in the photos with the cargo bucket featured in the "unloading" position.
Mike

You have ideally captured the imposing size and weight of this subject. And with moving parts to play with as well! In this 'factory fresh' condition there is lots of potential for adding weathering and a load of coal or stone.

Amazing model of an amazing truck. It is thrilling to realize that you need to go seven steps up (the first stair flight) to reach the level of its bumper... and then one flight more (much longer) to get into the driver's cab...! And it's perfectly modelled here.
