Hi Scottie
Wonderful scratch work. The replacement/added details have already raised this to another level.
Jim

Cheers Jim, you know me I have to tinker lol.

They don't taste so good though.
Pete

Pete, yes I will stick to the sweet ones.

Lovin' it Bro!!! Scratchy looks great and the air filter is tops. Isn't it amazing what we use for scratchy in our projects. Love the cake decoration sprinkles for the knobs. Think about the poor guy pushing dirt for hours and gets hungry. He can eat the gear shift knob and get a sugar rush to keep him going.......Can't wait to see more Paul!!!

Allen

Hi Allen, wouldn't that be a great idea make parts of your workplace edible, their would be a lot of happy workers.

Scottie awesome work again mate the cake decoration is a brilliant idea.

Marty

Cheers Marty, it seems to work so far

The running gear is now fitted and it's starting to look the part now. The seat is only dry fitted and will be removed for painting.



As I said in an earlier post the idlers are not glued in place this will allow me to move them to get the track tension right.

Next the towing hook has been fitted and is free to move around the arc.



Finally for this post the radiator and side panels are fitted. The engine cover plus a few small additions will be be added after paint.



cheers
Scottie

Hi Scottie
That is looking excellent. Nice to have a way to tension the tracks. With so much detail painting will be fun.

More excellent work, this really is looking superb

Looking very fine Scottie. Everything looks nicely robust and agricultural except the seat? Looks like the designers just stuck a settee on the back LOL…..

Tim, that seat is a very important piece of equipment.......from personal experience, it is the only thing that keeps that machine from beating you to death while working in rough terrain.

Still looks like it was made by Lay-ze-boy though…….

Jim, yes painting will be fun. I will dig out some pictures later so I can try and weather it in the right places and to the right amount.

Cheers Mick, very kind of you to say.

Tim, it certainly is a well padded affair and looks quite comfy.

Rick, I hear that. I was surprised when building this to find that the running gear has suspension, but even so it must have been a bone shaker when operating.

Still looks like it was made by Lay-ze-boy though…….

Tim, I can think of worse things to go to work on lol.

Paul .
Even though I know you , I'm coming to the conclusion that you are not human, sorry if that sounds odd , but you take this modelling lark to another level . Truly into the dark side.

Thanks Lee, any improvements in my modelling are down to you guys on this site pushing the boundry's and me just trying to keep up.
