Thanks Gee!! Sometimes its nice to see the progress on something SBS style. Plus if I come across anything that poses and issue I will post it. Much better than the usual "look, here is the box, he is the finished build"!! Its fun to play along!!

OK, time for a little update. Slow day at the bench, busy day in the yard...it has to be done sometimes!

I was able to finish cleaning the Ripper parts and giving the the ole install~ Still a dry fit on the plates and the hydraulics. I want to ensure I will have an easy go of the painting session.



The tow hooks needed a little clean up. I found an EPM on the inside bend of the hook a light seam line over the hitch pins. They will get attached to the main structure prior to painting.



Onto the office!! The cabin parts were all cleaned....



All of these parts more or less fall together nicely! The seats are dry fit but ...fit like a glove!



A little bit of a layout!



I will be cleaning up the cabin walls and window frames tomorrow. Plotting what needs to be glued now and what can wait while the painting takes over....still plenty to do before that though!!

As always...thanks for tuning in!!

Nice detail in the cabin, will look good painted and weathered.

Wow this is so cool! I saw this kit on HLJ and was tempted to buy it. I never realized how incredibly detailed it is.

I actually work at a site IRL where we operate I believe the D10 model, every day. Dozers with the ripper attachment, but not the armor, they do slope sculpting and surfacing type stuff. They make the coolest noise, this clack-clack-clack sound. Really cool piece of equipment and awesome kit, can't wait to see it finished.

ummm pictures..and loving the detail in this kit your doing a cracking job bud keep it up

 

[spud]

Hey CD!! Lots of nice little details on this...I am sure there is room for improvement as with anything else but great as is!! Seen a couple working in construction before, they are huge!! I suppose the clack clack clack in a battle front is synonymous with the sound a Huey put out where often just the sound would make em run for cover!!

Thanks Gee...appreciate it!!

Fantastic.

Thanks Spud!!! Now get busy on yours!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
