Here's another look at Holm Kämpfer's fantastic Terex RH 400, the world´s largest hydraulic shovel with a weight of some 980 metric tons. The model consists of about 2,300 parts and it took Holm 230 hours to make it. Holm says, "After such a work I´m just not brave enough to weather to models and so I must tell everybody that it is always their first operating hour in the mine when I took the photographs." Holm normally presents his models as a Mining Equipment Exhibition where they are always shining clean. Also shown in Photo Gallery 209.
