Exceptional quality Cookie Monster. Just one thing, stop apologising for the content. It’s your passion, it’s your channel 👊🏻

The level of detail in those CAT excavators is just jaw dropping, I collect 1.87 scale heavy haulage models and heavy plant because I can't afford the 1.50 scale stuff but I do make my own heavy haulage trailers, great video 👍 😀

your enthusiasm shines through, gives even greater impact to the detail and quality of what is a fantastically crafted model. 👍

Man I was waiting for the black smoke and watching for them to start digging. Great. thank you are blessed.

Awesome video & and awesome model!!!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the shout-out! Hope you are doing well, my friend. Take care! -Tommy

Hands down, the best "unboxing" video I have ever watched! Your enthusiasm and joy was very contagious! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Awesome!the guy who made it, it's from my country Indonesia 🇮🇩. So proud!

.............G'day from Australia, WOW! The Indonesian model IS indeed FANTASTIC in my opinion also, just from the video. I worked in the Weipa bauxite mine for 20 years as mechanic/fitter/machinist. The largest I repaired and serviced was a 150 ton P&H Lattice-boom crane that was used to change screens in the Benification Plant where "reach" was the goal, not weight lifted. Thanks for sharing. Cheers and God bless, Malcolm.

Actually, all I now want to say is wow! Esp after seeing all your other model in the background!!! Time to persuade the kids about moving out! I need that room :)

Great review and yes I think in the coming years 3D printing will be a big game changer in the model world. 👍

I am totally amazed at what a 3D printer is capable of producing. The detail and quality is something else !! Great video too.

WOW, fantastic detail and excellent packaging. Your collection is over the top too, great toy room you've got going there.

What a collection you have. FANTASTIC 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

do you have a link where to buy ?

Allistair, thanks so much for sharing! Looks like you could fuel 'er up and get to work! Just amazing.

Even has the welding lines, nice piece

nice collection)

Subscribed for the engineering and welding videos but even watching an unbocking of the excavator is really nice to watch, by far the best youtube channel out there!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

Hey up mate your toy box is amazing wether it's in the office/workshop or shed all excellent to see thank you

I am impressed! I would Love to get me something made like this, like WW2 WW1 Machinery.. from planes though to weaponry . Sky is the limit really it seems now with these printers. Thanks for sharing mate. cheers.

Pretty sure this is a DUTA AV model and I am so glad you posted. He has 1266 and Hitachi I want really bad but was skeptical and now I am sld!

Cool video Allistair!🤙

Fantastic models

Impressive collection 👌🏻

They are some very good models, i build some forestry countys in 1/32 scale, highlanders etc, i enjoy making them, a welcome distraction from a busy landscaping business

nice collection there

Mighty looking job 👌

Incredible!

This is the first notification i have got from your channel in a while !

Very cool!

very impressed, you just gained anew subscriber.

Another great model video! Incredible detail on this model Caterpillar 5230 mining shovel! I assume the model was 3-D printed in a plastic material, but I couldn't tell for sure. Who is the model maker? I've been collecting diecast construction & mining models for about 18 years, & I too, appreciate the makers, such as NZG & TWH (when TWH was still in business) & a few others, that have produced a higher standard of model details & function. I appreciate the time you take to make these great heavy equipment videos!

Awesome

Have a look at Toucan R C models stunning fully hydraulic power.That’s stunning detail 1/50 scale.

I got a 3d resin printer a couple years back now, epax x1, and the 2560*1440 resolution screen was well enough to get details. I mainly print 28-32mm models, and the surface finish is smooth enough that the only sanding needed is on supports. I used to buy a ton of model figures, and now that's switched entirely over to buying a 3d file online if I feel like something is particularly cool. I'm surprised a fdm printer is able to get such fine layers, whoever printed that excavator really dialed their printer in to get it that fine. I'm curious about the hoses and railings, do you think those were printed as well?

Okay so WHO did you get this from? You never said or provided a link.

Massive ammount of time to make a model of this scale and quality.. No easy task at all.. I own several 3d printers, and even after years of experience I wouldnt attempt somthing like that.. Actually I wouldnt even print all the parts if they were made by sombody else.. The hassle of getting all those to sucessfully work on a 3d printer is huge..

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………………………………………………………..My sister worked as an Accountant for a coal/trucking company back in the late 70’s and 80’s. She has about 10 models like the ones you have, all metal, sales models. She got them from the salesmen that would come to the office and bring the models to show the owner what he would get if he bought the real machine. This was pre internet, so models were the best a salesmen could do to try to get a sale. My sister would tell the salesmen and Bill ( the business owner ) that they had to give HER the models if Bill bought the machine. If they didn’t, she wouldn’t write the check to pay for the machine!! LOL ONE salesman didn’t follow through, 6 months later, he showed up with the model and my sister wrote the check for the machine! Bill kept telling the Cat dealer that they would get paid when the salesman fulfilled the rest of the deal they had made! LOL !

This is a sickness you have mate

I want in on this :). I own a Concorde model that I cherish and my passion is plant machinery from a child, I work a job in IT but my heart is in what you guys do. I hope to soon learn how to operate plant machinery 1 by 1 inc all 🏗️. Enjoy your passions everyone. I shall be a regular herez
