That's funny you should say that because that assembly reminds me of the book I read on building of the Panama Canal. Pictures of those old digging machines
There are so many benefits to this hobby.Okay I have a question for everyone. Are we weird? I mean, this is just the greatest Hobby, the amount of detail it's just, I don't know, makes you want to smile and say wow this is cool! You just can't wait until it comes to life. And then there's other people that just can't understand why you can sit there for hours and Fiddle with little tiny pieces.

Agreed!There are so many benefits to this hobby.
From emotional support to learning new and fascinating historical facts, there are some distinct benefits that come with this hobby.
It is a great and rewarding hobby.. and yes, we are weird.![]()
True!Agreed!
For me one thing I find cathartic is that this hobby teaches (forces you sometimes) to just slow down. That is a lesson that can be applied to may aspects of life. Slow down son!
It's looking great. PanthermanAll right got some more stuff on the cab and I'll be building the Hoist and winch assembly. I don't know. I'm mad at myself I didn't watch a video or anything on how to do that photo etch stuff or whatever the heck is in brass. First time dealing with it and I screwed it up. I should have watched a YouTube video or something. Live and learn. I'll fix it, Maybe. That's the diesel exhaust.

This is a fantastical build. Now I want to build one. If course mine would not be anywhere near as awesome as yours!Got the tandem winch assembly in and working on the Hoist and A frame next. Next is either touch up paint and weathering the tractor or I can build the trailer assembly.
