The French Army's logistics giant

Manitou CEL MHT-X-10180

Heavy-Duty Forklift MHT-X-10180

Nicolas has done it again

When our customers set out to create vehicles they can’t find as high-end models, they pull off some amazing feats!
To complete a diorama scene featuring a vehicle being reloaded with ammunition, Nicolas needed the French Army’s MHT-X-10180 Heavy Forklift.
Since the CEL wasn’t available as a high-end model to accompany his vehicle, Nicolas decided to create it from documents available online.
Knowing our expertise in crafting custom miniatures, he reached out to us to help him build this model to the high standard he expected.

The invisible power of military bases

Mock-up Manitou CEL

When passion drives the development of models you want to see in your collection, it also sparks the desire to create a diorama to bring your own stories to life.
Among all the projects Nicolas has in mind and would like to see in his collection, the Manitou CEL caught our attention. Together, we took on the challenge of developing a model that would meet not only his expectations but yours as well.

A mockup just the way you want it!

For me, something along those lines would be a PPLOG, a KC20,
