Looks pretty cool!! I'm new to this also, and I thought building a dozer would be a challenge. This yarder looks like it would be a challenge with all the rigging!! Interesting watching as I have found out that building is addictive!!!

I got some progress done but ran out of styrene. Now I know what I need and can order a bunch online over the weekend. Im using .08ish thicknesses.

I rebuilt the seat and started working on the main boom:











The boom will be around 3 feet long when done. Its about 5 inches wide by 1 1/2 inch thick. Not very scale but whatever The seat will be around 8 inches off the ground.

If I were sticking to 1/12 scale the boom could reach 5 feet So I am just building it 1/jarrett thinks it looks good scale More will be done over the weekend!
