Description
Monitor Buddies Construction Series — No. 02 of 10: THE EXCAVATOR
The Excavator is Release No. 02 in the Civil Construction Monitor Buddies series.
With its dynamic form, this stylised excavator brings movement and energy to your display to build a balanced construction line-up.
Designed for seamless integration with the Monitor Buddies rail system, it locks firmly into place while remaining easy to reposition as your collection grows.
Important — Pedestal Prep
Before installing on the rail, ensure the pedestal is fully cleaned. Remove any brim, elephant’s foot, or support remnants, and check the groove underneath is clear. Clean, sharp edges are critical for smooth insertion and a firm click into the Monitor Buddies rail system.
Colour Palette
The Civil Construction series uses a bold, simple palette of black, white, grey, and sunflower yellow. If you have access to a true construction / highway yellow, it will enhance realism—though in Australia this can be surprisingly hard to source. If you know a good supplier, feel free to share it.
