ABAKUS - Engraved Mugs and Promotional Articles

This is the model of concrete mixer used in 80's of 20th century. It is a concrete mixer with 150 l capacity very popular on many building places. I made this model for young modelers. Concrete mixer' model can be an excellent training of cutting out and forming small elements. If someone will build my concrete mixer please send me some photos and link to the Model Build on any modeler's forum.
