usually don't upload things like this but managed to get a VIP Tour around the JCB factory near Uttoxeter today.
This model was driven around London to launch the release of the new 3CX model.
I’m a big fan of cargo-hauling and industrial equipment. A long time ago, I built a lowboy trailer for my MAN truck and a telehandler as its cargo load for transport. Since then, the model has been sitting untouched on my shelf. I was never fully satisfied with the solutions I used back then – the rear was too fragile, and the main boom couldn’t hold even the smallest weight. Recently, I decided it was time to revamp the model and address these issues. So, let me introduce you to its upgraded version!
The yellow color scheme was accented with some light orange to imitate the worn-out look of used machinery. The boom has been significantly improved – it can now hold more weight and remains stable, even when fully extended. The weakest link now is the ratchet piece, which will give out before the boom does.
I’m thrilled with how the updated version turned out and hope you enjoy the model as much as I do. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
A whopping 14 years ago, I built a 1/22 scale JCB backhoe loader. Over the years, I updated it a bit, but it is mostly unchanged. Here it is together with my much newer minifigure scale model of essentially the same vehicle.

A short trip to JCB headquarters to see the birds around the lakes, I think most are clipped but not sure as they do fly off. they always keep the area beautiful around the whole site. Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
3 days to design a rear narrow bucket and this is the best i could muster, why isnt there one TLG???
Just a small excavator to kill the time waiting for bricks. Its my first small machine that I've build since all my large mining machines.
Only bad thing is that i didn't notice that one of the two 2x3 wingplates of the bucket was not fixed properly when I shot the photos. Anyway I hope you like it.
