Moxy articulated dump truck

Just an update.
No I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. I'm busy waiting for parts to arrive before I start the build.
I will update as soon as I have something picture worthy.

Thanks for the great input though I got lots of great ideas.

Finally. I have my Mil spec tires and motors for the ADT. Now I just have to reorder the Aluminium for the rims as I used it all up on a customers job.
In the mean time I have been busy.
I built a Bruder loader following Smallhauls build thread. I have a new appreciation for the engineering that goes into a project like that. It's not all cut and dried.

Your loader looks good. Aren't they a blast to run.

They absolutely are. I,m going to follow in your footsteps again and build a Tonka dump truck, I just picked up a 1960 Tonka with a red cab and green box from a friend. He had it in his office in a shelf. It even has the origional packaging.

Finally some progress on my ADT. I got the rims roughed out and started on the drive hubs. Also gathered the material for the rear frame.
