  First off, there's no pricing nor details on your Gumroad, so it's impossible to understand what you're offering.
  
  Secondly, this is extremely specific, so it's probably unlikely to give you much return on your time investment. 
  
  Third, your post signature is very large, which is kind of annoying. I'd recommend keeping it to two or three lines.

  Thanks for the feedback. I'll update the Gumroad page with more details and pricing, and I'll shorten my signature.

  
  

  I know it's a specific niche, but I've found there's demand for organized references of heavy machinery. I appreciate the input.

  Assuming this has really good pictures and a commercial licence cost something like a day's pay for a senior artist you could make a decent business case if you were building something that needed a load of heavy machinery looking models. 
  
  Good luck with it

  Thanks for the thoughtful feedback — I really appreciate it. That’s exactly the kind of perspective I was hoping to get.

  
  

  I’ll admit, some angles were harder to find than others (especially around the cabin and undercarriage), and a few images are not as sharp as I’d like — but I made sure to include everything that could be useful for modeling and texturing.

  
  

  Also, I'm already working on a more detailed reference pack for the Caterpillar 797F. That one will go deeper into the mechanical side and cover more of those tricky spots that were harder to document on the R9800.

  
  

  If you end up checking the R9800 pack, I’d really appreciate any thoughts on what could be improved.

  Really great photography. Most reference photographers also include a thumbnail gallery to show what's in the pack.
  
  Would it be possible to get the raw files or at least the camera meta data for camera matching calibration? Knowing the sensor size and focal length for each photo is really helpful for setting up the camera calibrations for precision vehicle modeling. Having quality photos taken with the same lens and camera setup, along with the meta data, is a big advantage over just scraping stuff off the net.
  
  Without those kinds of value adds it may be difficult to justify the cost Vs a quick image search and visit to the company's product page for the official line drawings and equipment specs.
