Artists all must have a favorite painting or project they did looking back over their lifes work.
After 200 hand built models, built 100% by me there is no question this is my all time favorite.
Today I hit 1000 subscribers to my You-tube videos with over 2.5 million visitors. My webpage is at 2.75 million visitors. That is very cool to me.
Just a poor little boy from Breckenridge , Mich. who only had one toy truck to play with as a child now is known world wide in 160 countries. My stats are very low compared to many people but I only see the positive in those wonderful numbers.
At my age I know my future projects are numbered as my generation I believe will only live around 70 years old.
You see I am the first generation of junk food kids. I was at the first McDonalds , the first A&W’s , potato chips and pop junky, ha,ha. I hope I am wrong but common sense tells me otherwise.
Regrets – I only have two projects I have not built and that is a 1/3rd scale Cat 994F wheel loader and a 1/3rd Scale Cat excavator . For now this Cat D-11R is my all time favorite model .
Weighing about 1500 lbs and taking me about 7 months to hand cut over 2000 parts and weld and bolt it together.
James – This is the person I want to thank for his kindness of making my dream come true seeing real monster mining machines in action. This is the only machine I did not get to operate and push dirt with but I am so thankful for the machines I did . I also want to thank
John – I also want to thank John for a wonderful day with him in the Coal Mines .
It’s nice to remind everyone how many people Deb and I met over the years just from my hobby of toy building . What a fun ride it has been . Hopefully I’ll be around for a while yet. (:>)
Have a great Sunday and way to go Green Bay Packers.
