Finished at last. I did not keep a record of hours but have enjoyed the journey in making it, all I know is that there were a lot of parts.

Superb!

I see there is not a half track in the 'Customer Corner' section of Toys and Joys, they were obviously waiting for you to finish this one, and well worth the wait too.
Most Inspirational. =D>

Anther one here bowing down to your skills and patience.
Even fettled the Design to enhance the original Plans.
Hope you keep all the jigs as a set, works of art in their own right.
 
Absolutely bluddy brill-e-ANT Dalboy!

And that jig with the cam lock looks a really clever and useful piece of work too. I may well end up copying it. Do I have to pay you royalties?

And a P.S: I think you said the vehicle is for yourself. Will it be going into a museum-type display cabinet? It certainly deserves a "proudly displayed" location.

Thank you guys I just do the best I can and enjoy the journey at the same time.

That jig certainly speeded up the drilling of the links as I drill 4 times in each jig 2 for each through hole helped to make sure they all lined up. HERE it is in action and you can see how easy it is to use. I had to keep blowing away any swarf as a little would throw out the drilling point if it got trapped even when I remembered to turn on the dust extraction.
 
glad you got it finished & yes it is a big WOW

now what project am I going to follow :cry:
look forward to seeing the finish job

I use a very basic set up for my photo's along with a simple camera(Sorry poor picture as taken with my phone camera). I set the White Balance to custom and point at the white back ground and set it at that. Take the photo's and then a very little adjustment on the computer.

I don't take photo's in direct sunlight as it causes to harsher shadows and also a nice bright day also helps

Even my better-half said, ''WOW!!!!'', so you can take that as an official endorsement that it ain't a bad job. :-D
 
Dalboy, I salute you, your patience and skills. As an encore, I wish you to build me a Claas Dominator Combine Harvester at your earliest convenience. thanks in advance obviously :twisted:
 
I didn't know what a half track was... but i'm glad i know now.

Speechless with the work and dedication its took you to create such a stunning piece.
