Scottie,

I have just redone the winches on the dragon wagon and I used some wire from a picture hook kit I unravelled it and then using four strands i put it in the jaws of a cordless drill and I think that has come out really well.

Just an idea.

Marty that's my normal route as well but this time it just didn't look right I think the wire was to thick to start with.

A bit more tinkering. added the air tank and some pipework and new retaining straps. The exhaust has been fitted and the colour just blocked in it will receive weathering and pigments later.



The front axle has been fitted and I am glad to say there is a good amount of articulation and the home made spring returns it.







cheers

Superb work Scottie. I too keep thinking they are reference pictures of the real thing.

Thanks Rick,
I am quite happy with it, still a little to add when the cab is fitted.

The chassis has now received a gloss coat ready for the weathering and detailing.
The counter weight carrier has been completed from a mixture of kit and etch. The round brace was added from round styrene. This will be detailed before I add it to the chassis.



Next I have started work on the winch, This is again a mixture of kit, etch and scratch. The cord looks a bit fluffy at the moment but when under tension it looks a lot better.



There are a few rough edges I have spotted to be removed.

Cheers
Scottie

Jaw dropping work Paul. I'm really impressed with the detailing and finish so far on the engine and chassis. A joy to watch
