Hi , Thanks for all the nice comments ,
Yes it takes time OK , sometimes i just get 'FED UP' and go on to something else for a while !!! so i don't know what
sort of hrs. they take !!
Well Mike , i dont know exactly how many parts , but the excavator tracks are made up of 27 cleats, each with a hinge pin, 18 small wheels ,
two big wheels , each cleet has a guide block ,and then there are 2 side frames , per side !! the lorry has a few small bits and pieces , as well as the 22 wheels , :roll: :roll: P.S. another forum member made me the cab roof Horns , Thanks Steve , =D>
as for the wheels Dave , I brought the outside ones , because i liked the spoke effect but i made all the inside ones,
(you can't see them any way ! )
Yes Graham, i do have a few more !!!!, --- Sad realy init !!!---- i'l try to get some pic together , and bore you all again soon L.O.L (hammer) (hammer)
all the best -------------Frank------------------
