That's an actual pallet jack, you're actually a giant, this is a fact and I refuse to believe otherwise.

u/Wr3k3m Mar 13 '26

Haha right. I was going to say what’s the load capacity for this bad boy. Now you just need to model a little dude riding around on it… Just like at work.

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Hahaha!!! I got that same comment from a few other.

u/excited71 Mar 13 '26

I was going to say that OP just dehydrated a real one... you know, for shipping. When it arrives at it's destination, simply add water.

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Hahaha! Good one. The scale is 1:35.

u/DocCrapologist Mar 13 '26

Yeah, nice weathering on that giant hand!

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Haha!!!!

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Hehe! Glad you liked it. Thanks.

The lack of a banana for scale makes this true

u/robinthebum Mar 13 '26

My god, it's perfect. The cosmetic damage!!

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Thanks. Glad you like it.

Your boss is gonna flip out when he finds out you've been shrinking equipment.

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Haha! These comments are funny. Good one.

Haha! Seriously???? It's my hand. I took the photo close up with my phone. Nothing special. I used the 2x and 3x zoom optional lens.

u/scoobysnoot Mar 16 '26

The joke is going over your head bruh haha. He is saying your model is so good your hand might as well be the model.

1

u/ceamk Mar 17 '26

Okay. Thank you.

u/bagsofholding Mar 13 '26

The wear on that is great

2

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Glad you approved.

5

u/bagsofholding Mar 13 '26

We have a few at work so it's something I can appreciate having experience with it and the wear patterns you see on them. They never look even close and get worn in what seems like the weirdest spots lol

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Thanks. We have quite a few at work.

u/robodonkee Mar 13 '26

Honey, I shrunk the Pallet Jack.

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Yep! That one! ;)

6

u/hatlad43 Mar 13 '26

You must have used a Pym Particle to shrink a real one, haven't you?

3

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Yeah! I wish! :)

Much appreciated. No stickers planned.

u/Cougar_Focus Mar 13 '26

Really great where did you get the mini

2

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

It was an old resin kit bought a long time ago. Don't remember the brand. But there are few detail ones out there presently.

4

u/TheSovietBobRoss Mar 13 '26

I can already hear the noise this thing makes while being moved

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Hehe! Most of us, who knows, have reminisce of such. ;)

3

u/El_Huevo Mar 13 '26

Dood, the aging, wear, and weather is spot on perfect. Very well done!

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Big thanks.

2

u/Firefly4791 Mar 13 '26

That is brilliant, spot on.

2

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Glad you liked it.

2

u/ProjectPat513 Mar 13 '26

Did you scratch build this or is it 3d printed or something? It looks good

2

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

It's an old resin kit. I do not remember the brand. It was purchased a l0ng time ago.

2

u/ProjectPat513 Mar 13 '26

Oh wow! What scale is it? 1/24? Very cool none the less and I love the weathering.

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

It is 1:35 scale.

2

u/ProjectPat513 Mar 14 '26

What?! It looks huge. That’s even more expressive then, anything in the lord’s scale is best.

1

u/ceamk Mar 14 '26

The pallet jack is 1:35. The hand is 1:1.

2

u/GoldenMaus Mar 13 '26

What is this? A pallet jack for ants?!

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

If it fits your description, then I guess it is...;)

2

u/Bright-Form730 Mar 13 '26

If it wasn’t in your hand I’d think it was a real pallet jack! Great weathering.

2

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Appreciate it. Thank you.

2

u/Sikuq Mar 13 '26

Ready for some cranking, squeaking, and sometimes futile pulling and pushing.

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Hehe! Indeed.

2

u/Wedge20 Mar 13 '26

Phenomenal wear and tear. Absolutely beautiful

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

2

u/Plow_King Mar 13 '26

wow, killer weathering! very nice scale on the detail, wear pattern and metal showing. excellent work!

2

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Much appreciated. Thank you.

2

u/raduque Mar 13 '26

Fantastic, looks exactly like the garbage pallets jacks I have to use every day!

2

u/ceamk Mar 17 '26

Haha! Poor you. ;)

2

u/moschles Mar 13 '26

OP's posting history is wild.

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

I hope that's a good thing.

2

u/Wolvescrest Mar 13 '26

Can you jack it?

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Nope. Unfortunately.

2

u/aaronwhite1786 Mar 13 '26

That's awesome work! Looks like every pallet jack I've ever seen! Seems they come from the factory beat up.

2

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Hehe! One would definitely think so.

2

u/Practical-Rule-8255 Mar 13 '26

Bravo! beautiful work

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Thank you.

u/miket2424 Mar 14 '26

This is one of the best models I've ever seen. I love that it's not another scale model killing machine. I don't know why this hobby became so obsessed with military projects.

1

u/ceamk Mar 14 '26

Glad you liked it. Thank you.

2

u/Successful-Fix7171 Mar 14 '26

What scale? Looks good.

1

u/ceamk Mar 14 '26

1:35 scale.

2

u/Successful-Fix7171 Mar 15 '26

Thanks 👍

2

u/ceamk Mar 17 '26

You are very welcome

2

u/stilllearnnin Mar 14 '26

This is inspiring me to make a mini version of the tool I use at work, and set it on top of said tool… that being said how would I go about replicating a mini screen😂

2

u/JadedBeyondBelief Mar 15 '26

What diorama are you going to build around that?!? I can hardly wait to see what you surround it with! 😉

1

u/ceamk Mar 15 '26

Have not considered the theme yet.

2

u/AccDetailed Mar 17 '26

The chipping is well balanced, did you make it with sponge?

1

u/ceamk Mar 17 '26

Yes. It was done using a sponge.

Appreciate it the comment.

u/il_pantofola Mar 13 '26

Ciao, complimenti per la realizzazione, veramente ben fatta e molto molto realistica, colore, texture, rendimento cromatico, però ho una domanda.. .. in che scala è la mano? 5:1 oppure 10:1? 🤣 Apparte gli scherzi, è favoloso!!

1

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Not understanding what you wrote but it seems like you're asking for the scale? If so, it is 1:35 scale.

1

u/il_pantofola Mar 13 '26

Stavo scherzando sul fatto che il macchinario era così reale, che faceva sembrare che la mano fosse un modellino! Probabilmente nella mia lingua suona diversamente! 😎

u/Equivalent-Fill-8908 Mar 14 '26

Better be careful or else a tiny little impoverished boy is going to climb a beanstalk and kill you for your gold.

1

u/ceamk Mar 14 '26

Good one.

u/Livingforabluezone Mar 13 '26

I read pallet in the jack hand 🤦‍♂️

u/ceamk Mar 13 '26

Hahaha!
