Take a long, good look at it. It will never ever look that shiny, clean 
and non-dented again...

(... and think twice if you ever park your own car close to one of 
these, or it, too, may never ever look shiny, clean and non-dented again 
either... your own car, that is. The Cat probably won't mind much.)

   Great modeling... on the building too. Maybe the tires look a bit too 
black, but can't find any other flaw.

Excellent modelling but I agree with Clipka about the shininess.

Awesome vehicle! The headlights seem tiny in comparison and one can 
wonder how useful they can be.

Thanks. I'm sure they provide some visibility, but mines usually operate during
the day. Here's the .blend file for your perusal:

Take a look at some real quary trucks. You'll see that the headlights 
look realy tiny. In some cases, you may not even notice that they are 
there at all... The fact that they are the same dimention as those used 
on road truck is lost to the sheer dimention of those quary trucks.

I did indeed and then wondered about their usefulness. I seem to 
remember a documentary about a South American mine using these giants 
working 24/7. The lights seemed quite bright so, although /tiny/, they 
must be quite strong.

Cool & a collection of them I see. Your image prompted me to read up - 
very impressive machines.
