Re: homemade wooden excavator
Susan and I just got back from a family visit up in Thunder Bay. My brother in law, Ron , had yet to see any of our RC fleet in person so I packed up and brought Sue's truck, the lowboy and our loader to show him. When we got there I had an idea to take some pics of his excavator on our trailer
as you can see, he's added lights. I asked him where he got the led's. From a small flashlight he took the bulbs out and mounted the switch on top of cab. I looked in the engine compartment and saw no batteries so I said, where's the batteries??
check out the little clips he made to secure the wiring. the red tape area is temporary as he plans to build a little electrical box for the connection.
the crazy guy went as far as installing grease fittings on the cylinders using pin heads
here's some pics of his latest work.... the CN tower made completely of matchsticks. The restaurant part rotates just like the real one on the tower!
thanks for looking.
