I'm working on this one but it is fighting Me tooth & nail, I went and bought that piece of wire, found out I'd missed the motor mounts, touched up the paint. a bit, nothing fits on this one so, I'm working on the troubles ... Draftsman "looks good to me" ... spruer "Let's pour the styrene !!!"

Gerry "Dam the torpedo's Full speed ahead "

There you go lots of Photos of where I'm at, the front axle is still giving me fits, C-ya down the road.

C&C Welcome - Gerry

Thanks Ed, I went to Big Lots found a picture hanging kit, had some steel looking cable in it, I thought it was too big so I unraveled it, slit in to 3 little wires, chucked it up in my drill, & re-twisted it. Nothing any Master Modeler couldn't do.

Well, At the ranch today, it was time to make the world famous red beans & cornbread, some of my best. :stinker

So I didn't get much time to do anything else, I did get those springs painted, so off to the bunker for more work, I need to add the reworked front axle, and get motor in, then start on the plumbing.

Cheers Gerry

Looks really good. Diggin the cable

 

[Swordsman]

Thanks Engineer, Your work ain't too shabby either, Thinking of building these cables, & adding them to the online Hobby shop once I get control of it.

 

[Skinny_Mike]

Shaping up really nicely Gerry. Winch cable is fantastic looking.

 

[Swordsman]

Thanks Mike, I'm glad you like it, still having fit troubles with the frame, I hope the things I do to fix them aren't multiplied by my modifications.

 

[SA Dave]

starting to come together nicely Gerry

 

[Swordsman]

Thanks Dave I'm out of time this morning, I may get some more photos & post them in a bit.

OK, on the last post on this I broke front axle cross member. So I can contact Trumpeter to see if I can get a replacement, or make my own ... If I remember correctly ...
