Nasty weather kept me from working today so I put a little time into the Volvo again. I finished the hydraulic tank and started doing some detail in the cab. I'm cheating and using some wood inside the cab but I just don't have the patients to build the controls out of alum. I hope to have it painted soon... I want to start something else...

Looks great and the wood is a great medium for the interior. I have seen a lot of scratch tractor builds in German forums that use wood for that.

Great job. I really like this build, I've been watching silently and envious of your skills.

Reg I don't see a darn thing wrong with the paint. Just use the fifty foot rule and if anyone gets closer you know what to do!!!!
Sometimes it's frustrating when you try real hard and with paint there ain't no golden rules to follow. Just keep trying till your satisfied!!! Rob |

I'm still having very little success with the yellow color and I've tried 3 different brands of paint now! The last stuff I bought sprays OK but after 14 hours in front of a heater it's still tacky

Hey Reg, I like the Cat yellow spray paint, it goes on thick! Would wet sanding the cab help it look better? Keep up the great work, I can't paint either!
Cheer's, Neil. |

I finished the undercarriage and boom today so at least that is back together. I just put the "final" coat of yellow on the main chunk of the house so hopefully tomorrow I can mask it and finish off the rest of it. |
