A little about myself and my models: I am a 3rd generation collector of many construction models from all over the world. My grandfather, father, and myself have collected for many years. All of us have been involved in the construction/mining industry in the USA, Canada, Arctic oilfields, and Europe. My grandfather built and designed many famous bridges and transportation projects throughout the U.S. and my father was a design engineer for Caterpillar and came across many models in which we added to our collection. I have just started to thin the collection since I have no room anymore and am offering some of them slowly for auction which will be a lengthy process. Please make sure to add me to your favorites and check back often. I have many prototypes and rare one of a kind models which will enable collectors to purchase a model for their collection without going broke. I am honest and will be upfront about my models and there condition. Most of them are purchased new and in the box, but if they are not, then I will describe it in the information. I do not sell junk and they are not cheap (reproductions/repaired and sold as new) that seem to be flooding the market. It is your money and you work hard for it so look at my feedback and you decide. You will get quality merchandise at a reasonable price. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little something about me and good luck with your bidding!
