I'm shocked this has taken shape. Shocked I tell ya! I'd hate to ride in this thing. Matt's Offroad Recovery just had a video about how they had to correct the drive shaft harmonics on the Worlds Largest Off Road Wrecker. Really is a lot of potential in this kit but i'll not do another.

You and I both need to find some lighting for photos. Looks good Mike. :soldier

Nice job Mike.

The rear wheels are a bit bigger than the drums on the axel, I can see misalignment from a build I found on the web. So I found some sprue tub I had in stock and it slipped right over the drum and snugged up the wheel. Now the challenge was to cut two spacers off that tube....:blink Log story...

Google meeting but who's counting. :geekon:

So many nautical terms...confused. Good luck with the casting! :popcorn

Howdy you.. Welcome aboard. Yeah I've said from day one I'll be the one who turns the lights out when everyone has left the forum. We have folks who come and go, you'll see a huge member list. Some just move on from modeling, our forum or whatever else nature brings us. Personally I'm not the...

Way to go Gary. Congrats on a completion. Not a subject seen often. Well done! Good luck on the move!

Thanks guys. I stuffed up the wheel hubs with some 3mm disk, don't know what thickness the sheet was, thick enough for 2 disk each to do the job. Here's a link to the instructions. Follow along with the fun! https://www.mirror-models.com/otter_assembly.pdf Now to figure out how the engine...

Did Larry post his build anywhere? I'd love to see how the engine is mounted.

Welcome aboard then. How about an introduction post?

Ha, you know my interest as well as any, it's wide and varied. I'm ok with two Jugs, they better than one. :dance:

I got a lot of questions about why Paul. The wheels can be posed. I got to make my own tie rod out of wire. Then I got the steering linkage. There's more custom wire work. Oddly no brake line detail, we'll take care of that. You would have a field day on this Paul. The interior is minimal, a...

Might be 3x5...I'm thinking 2x4 like my electrical/mechanical/photo booth bench.

Yikes! Maybe you got a stronger batch of tape. Have you seen the trick about putting the tape on the back of your hand before masking? It will pick up some of the oils from your skin and make it just a bit less tacky. I've read this somewhere...might have been here.

Thank you Ian. Great photos. That's a wallaby correct? :popcorn

They had one of their sales on and I almost got pulled in one a mobile tool cart, I don't need another mobile tool cart till I get rid of the 4*6 mobile drafting table I've been using for the past 12 years. The thing is too big, I can't reach the back of it while sitting and I end up with a...

Sure, what's on the table.

It has to be easier way to do this. I'm thinking of shoving some sprue rod up the wheel joint to give the ball something to get a hold of. You'll see what I mean.

Now I remember why I stopped building this. Confusing instructions. There is no PE101. Reference photos are inconsistent. I think I told myself back then I'm not up to this build. I am now...:soldier Drilling out parts. These are the tie rod links, if my scale hardware was stocked up I could...
