Don Campbell’s completed Hitachi EX-8000 Mining Shovel model youtube video in 1/12th scale., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
Finished Hitachi Mining Shovel Model Video – Todays picture shows the first picture of the completed Hitachi Model. I am very happy with the overall look of the model . Deb said she thinks it is her favorite so far. She loves the bright orange and grey colors.

This model is a real beast of a model too and I am very pleased how it looks. As I always say when finishing my models, I am no engineer, my tools are crude, my workshop is very small and I have never taken any welding classes. Starting with just bare flat sheets of metal on my workbench and a half a dozen pictures it is more metal art to me. Either way, I absolutely continue to love this hobby of model building.
Hey Deb !, What’s for Supper ? – Chinese take-out , YUM !! Deb is going to be too busy partying to make me any supper tonight , ha,ha. We got a couple little goodies for tonight and we’ll be staying home snuggling and drinking a root beer . Pretty boring for most people, but perfect for Deb and I (:>).
Washington D.C. – Nicole and Bill made it home last night safe to D.C. so they will be getting ready to party tonight with their friends. They have some very nice city friends.
COWBOY BOOTS- On the last day of shopping and the last store we went shopping in Nicole decided she wanted cowboy boots? I told her it was anxiety knowing it was the last store to shop in on vacation, ha,ha. We have been walking out the door in the past and she would spot something and go back and get it , ha,ha. There is no doubt , the girl loves to SHOP ! But the girl works hard and gets a big check too, ha,ha so we just smile and enjoy our time together.
