Today’s post comes from one of our long-time collectors who shared some fantastic shots of his new CCM 1:48 scale Next Gen Cat® 6040 Mining Shovel models in action. Captured while stripping overburden, these photos showcase the incredible detail and realism of the model in a working diorama setting.
We always love seeing how our models come to life in the hands of passionate collectors, and this set is no exception. The way collectors bring these models to life in diorama settings is always impressive—especially when the detail is so realistic it blurs the line between model and real-world mining.
Take a look below—we hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did!








These Cat® 6040 models are moving fast—but a few are still available (including some pairs with matching serial numbers). Don’t miss your chance to own one, or one of each, of the two versions before they’re gone for good—please click here to purchase.
If you are an international collector, please email Gary Peterson at sales@ccmodels.com and he will be happy to assist you with your purchase.
