Elliot,

Those photos are great, interesting to see what made it into the model.

All,

Here are some other shots:
- In transport mode...


- Testing the reach...


I have now sorted the base radio setup, including:
- switch mode for the adjustable arm
- switch for the lights

Upon closer inspection it does have the quick release, it is manual, I wasn't sure if it would come with it(bonus)... eventually I will make an electric/hydraulic version.

Also found out that the breather is missing... my father has a lathe in QLD, he will make one and send it down, as it is just a cap screw bolt with a hole in it...

I may not get a video up until next weekend, as I am away this weekend.

A couple more photos may be up tomorrow morning though.

Also does anyone know if Premacon uses the same oil as Wedico? I just have some Wedico oil here, but I didn't get any for the excavator...

Cheers,
AP.
