Recreating a complex road milling machine in 1:35 scale
This custom WIRTGEN W 155 CFi milling machine model reproduces the distinctive body structure, conveyor system, undercarriage and working mechanisms of the full-size cold milling machine.
The finished model combines realistic proportions, functional moving parts, detailed pad printing and reliable mechanical construction. It demonstrates how an experienced OEM scale model manufacturer can transform complex road construction equipment into a premium promotional and display model.
A closer look from every angle
Explore the proportions, conveyor structure, operator platform, body panels and detailed undercarriage of this 1:35 road milling machine model.
More than a static model: key movements recreated in scale
The model reproduces the most recognisable movements of the original machine while keeping the miniature structure stable and easy to use.
Movable Track System
Tracks rotate, while the track frames can lift and steer.
Adjustable Upper Structure
The ladder moves, the canopy lifts and the engine hood opens.
Articulated Conveyor System
The conveyor folds, raises, lowers and moves from side to side.
Working Milling Components
The milling drum rotates, while the side and rear shields move.
Complex mechanisms, engineered for reliable movement
Each moving part requires the right clearance, material strength and positioning accuracy to work consistently at miniature scale.
Designed around the machine’s most complex structures
Special attention was given to the long conveyor assembly, lifting track supports, miniature hydraulic-style linkages, opening body panels and small connection points. The structure was refined to balance realistic appearance with reliable operation.
- Accurate proportions based on engineering references
- Stable joints for repeated folding and positioning
- Detailed multi-part track and undercarriage structure
- Fine mechanical linkages reproduced in miniature
- Balanced use of metal and engineering-grade plastic
- Clearances tested for smooth functional movement
Small details create a more convincing replica
Crisp pad printing, realistic surface textures, fine connection points and layered mechanical structures improve the model’s authenticity at close viewing distance.
A substantial model with strong display presence
At approximately 405 mm long, the model provides enough space to reproduce the conveyor, bodywork and functional components.
From approved sample to consistent batch production
After the sample is approved, the project moves through alloy parts production, plastic parts production and post-processing. Components are then spray painted, pad printed and assembled. Dedicated QC inspection is carried out at every production stage to maintain consistent appearance, structure and function.
Built one by one. Matched across the full production run.
Rows of completed models make colour consistency, assembly quality and overall uniformity easy to evaluate before delivery.
A practical marketing tool for construction equipment brands
A custom road milling machine model presents a complex product in a compact format that is easier to display, transport and share.
Built for more than showroom display
A detailed construction machinery scale model gives sales, marketing and dealer teams a physical way to present a machine’s design and brand identity.
It can also become a long-term brand asset used across exhibitions, customer events, dealer networks and corporate collections.
- New product launches and exhibition displays
- Dealer and distributor promotional programs
- VIP customer and project commemorative gifts
- Sales presentations and showroom demonstrations
- Employee recognition and corporate collections
