I’m Cliff, and here’s my Very Large Nugget Transport Car.

This is a 1:20.3 scale car (due to the figures), and the nugget was carefully made to 20.3:1.

The nugget is authentic.

After some linguistic negotiation with Korm, the long name was determined to be:
Großgoldklumpenoderklieneeisbergeisenbahnschwertransportwagen
(big ass gold nugget or itsy bitsy iceberg heavy railroad transport car).

I’d bought a contour-measuring tool for nugget supports, but ended up not using it. So, cost = $0. However, I’m making $0.15 whenever someone kisses the beak.
