St Patrick's day so I had to do something green related. I don't remember when I mowed our lawn for the first time last year but I'm not sure it was this early...



Fish are hungry too!

[Northern Farmer]

Wow I wish I lived out of the city...beautiful land living with nature aww the tranquility

[Mikem]

I like the gold fish jail

[Lil Giants]

In all your pics & vids Reg I have never noticed where your lawn was in relation to the house & shop?

It looks like a sunny day in June there! everything so green ... it looks like January here being blanketed with snow again the last two days. ...you would never guess it was +20 here last Saturday.

The koi pond, mine was too big to cover. That's the reason I ended up turning it into the backyard dig site. The hereins kept eating all my fish!! Had several 14"+ koi and they would get them out of water somehow and just peck at them. Guess the bright colors were more attractive to them compared to the hundreds of minnows 100 yards away!!!! Looks good reg!!!

Shop on one side of the house, yard on the other Joe. I wanted to have both on the one side but it just wasn't meant to be thanks to some stupid zoning rules and loop holes I had to jump through. Yes the fish prison. I'm not sure if the fish are locked in or the mink, coons, birds and feral cats are locked out? It's ugly having the wire on there but a necessity for the fish's survival. The "extra" piece isn't usually thrown on there but I saw a mink hovering around a few months back and let it live. I wanted to double up the protection so some chunks of wire have been on it all winter.

I had some real fun with my Bruder loader and conveyor today. This is probably the most purposeful and enjoyable thing I have ever done with RC's. The conveyor worked awesome despite spending the winter on a bench uder the eve of the shop. It's the first time I've used it since I built it.

Nice! A few videos ago your yard was flooded. You should make a dredge and dam the water.

[RCP57]

I think I've seen enough water in the yard lately. Looking forward to some sun and dry ground! I do have an even bigger pile of sawdust to move now though if it ever quits raining!

[Bo Wallen]

Crunch Crunch Movie Time again soon ?

[RCP57]

Haha, maybe Bo. I got some help from my parents the other day to cut some bigger planks with my Dad's Alaska mill. We cut five 2"x12"x16' cedar planks so there is a good pile of sawdust there now! Need two machines to load the hopper!

You need to make a big haul truck to put under that conveyor.....hint hint.....1/10 would be just about right.....no more plastic stuff LOL

I have been dreaming about a 1/5 scale R18 for a couple of years. Something I can ride on....

[DADSGARAGE]

Now you're talkin!!! Maybe Bruder has something like that...
(Sorry man just buggin ya....all your conversion are cool but its just not the same as your scratch builds!!! Lookin forward to seeing your next build, you just need to pick one and find some time to get started...lol)

You know it's kinda funny but the little Bruder wheel loader is one of my favorites. I think the reason I like it is because it's fast and it actually has nothing to do with what type of model it is. I agree though that nothing replaces the larger scale, all metal, scratch built stuff. They all have their quirks and never work perfectly but it's cool to know that no one else in the world has exactly the same thing. Since I like the wheel loader so much I guess I should be building a 1/10 980 or 988. It could pull double duty loading dirt or loading my logging truck if I built a grapple for it. I just need RW to widen out his tire mold a bit and to pour me a set of four and it's on.

[bigford]

you need to mail cooper a 1/50 scale model of a 994!!
kinda thinking about doing it myself

[Cooper]

Hum,, printing up the blanks are pennys in materials,,, making the mold is a little cash,,,, maybe I could make you the tire in 3d print, then you could do the mold and castings. Anything to get you started on another scratch build

I'll have a look at what your thinking.
