That would be one hell of a front dumper! The yellow one isn't quite wide enough to be a builders skip (holds 8 tons) but is certainly bigger than a mini skip (4 tons), so it looks like it'd be a 6 ton skip. 6 ton front dumpers aren't uncommon, but they're shorter in length and much wider to keep the weight centralised.

So many projects..... so little time.......

To be honest, I didn't bother to measure anything. Scale is fleeting anyway, so I just thought "breast high should be as cover" and used a few miniatures as a ruler.

The Lead God might frown, but the resin deities are much more forgiving regarding scale :)
