Thank you, glad you like it. The model is sadly not 100% perfect in it's design now that I have it assembled and working. I can see a few aspects of the compactor that that need changing - mostly on the angle of which the slide plate travels up and down. This needs to a little bit steeper to stop it from being so tight at the part where the rubbish goes from the hopper into the body. I'd also like to find a way to have a little more compactor pressure that servos just are not giving me. So you never know, if I find the right parts and time I might build another.
Man, Liked a lot your trucks. If you want to improve the realism of your garbage trucks, try searching for technicals PDF models from Garbage truck dealers, I talk about it as a engineer, you will get good points of references to know important information about angle of packer, tailgates, lenght, hopper volume and other details.
Thank you for the tip of checking out technical PDF documents. I was really basing my design off photos and videos but technical files would have made things a lot easier.
Thank you. At the moment this is a one off. It costs a lot of money for the materials and components and is rather fiddly to assemble so I probably won't be doing another one again any time soon sorry.

Amazing work!👍
Thank you very much. Glad you liked it.
This is amazing!! If you ever start making these, I would be the first one to order from you!

Can you please upload the files cus i want this so bad
I'm thinking about redesigning this model so it works a little better with a faster compactor and change the compactor angles so it works better.
I know you said you won't sell it but any chance you could upload the files?
