Wow Terry. Pretty amazing build. Any guess at the number of components needed for such a build ? Must be quite high.

Well this has been some day! The modeling however goes on. I have added the hydraulic lines to all those cyclinders. I am also beginning to add the other lines from the frame to the legs. Here are some pictures of the work so far.
