Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
Hi Perry. I think your picture's URL address is incomplete, and it also has two https at the beginning. Wish I could help get the photos posted.

Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
Scott, How true. Number are easy to translate. I do wish there was better pictures. So many times I put something together only to find I had to take it back apart becasue I missed a step that did not have a picture. I started out using google translater. It was going well for a while. Despite my struggle with dyslexia and poor typing skills. There is a name for the two dots over letters. I know I learned this some time back, but it was replaced long ago in my brain with more usefull information. I suppose if I could remeber that I could discover how to type that on a PC. Seems I saw a way to do it years ago.

Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
Ok I think I figured it out. Thanks for fixing my post fhhhstix. Photo bucket has changed a bit since last time I posted.
So this is from my original assembly. I have been taking it apart becasue the track did not move freely. I tried just opening up the holes for the pin to 1/8. did not help. Still lots of binding. So I have resorted to bending or reforming the pads and that seems to help. Very slow go. As I have wrote lots of taking things back apart. When I first assembled the track putting the pins and clips together. All moved well. Once I put the pads and grousers on it started binding. While in storage parts got just a bit rusty and that did me in. |
Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
I would have fixed your images above, but your album photos all are named build12, build13 etc and your posts had file names in camera structure; DSC0134.

I apologize if you already know this . also try not to move your photos around in PB Can't wait to see your excavator running :) IHSteve |
Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
I am currently tearing down the tracks. I have opened the holes for the pins with 1/8 drill and I have had to bend each pad to get it to move free. One side down one to go.

Re: Perry's Leimbach Build

Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
Nice build. That looks like a lot of fun to make!
|
Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
That is a really nice model! Did you get the track problems worked out?
|
Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
Very cool, Perry. A guy rarely gets to see how these models go together. Most of the time, when people show off their construction equipment, the focus is on how they run and perform. You never see to many pictures showing off the various stages or steps. I like seeing the construction of the model. These things are cool. I have to stop looking at them now because it is making me want one of my own. :D

Re: Perry's Leimbach Build
Looking really good so far! How long has this build been in progress? I seem to remember someone with a similar name building a similar machine and that was awhile ago. I probably have you mixed up with someone else but sometimes people like to take there time and really do a thorough job. Anyways wish it was my build. I would love to have one as well. Maybe some day... maybe...
