Dump truck Komatsu 830 E-AC my development in scale 1:100.

Hello,
It just so happened that I haven't logged into the forum for quite some time. But today I want to show you my latest project. Komatsu 830 e-ac career dump truck. This is my development in 1:100 scale. Almost all the details are printed on colored orange paper. I'm starting to show photos of the chassis of the model.

This is an interesting "scratch" build project.
It appears to be one of those "giants" used around mining operations.
Great looking work.

Even at 1/100, this is going to be big

I thought this was an interesting stat 'Typical tire weight 50,750 lbs.'


Watching with interest

Hello friends,
thanks to Michael Mash, Vermin King, and Don Boose for their interest in my project. Yes, indeed this model even in 1:100 scale stands out with its dimensions among other 1:100 scale models.
Today I continue with the chassis. I wanted to make the tires with laser cut and carved treads, but I couldn't find a contractor. I continue with the classic tire making. Here are pictures:

Wow, it already looks heavy!

Good day!
Today I continue with pictures of the construction of the undercarriage. To compare the size of the 1:100 scale models I finish with a mini diorama "Transportation to the other assembly shop"

To paraphrase the new fireman in the movie Roxanne, regarding Steve Martin's nose --


I knew it was big, but I didn't know it was THIS big

[Michael Mash]

Excellent choice for a project.
I don’t recall ever seeing one of these built here.

Hello.
Vermin_King , I liked your definition of big. But it's really big. Just for quick information: length 14.15m; width 7.29m and height 6.88m.
Now for some pictures of the completed steerable front axle. The intake pipes to the powerful engine from
1865 kw.
