Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou Your off to a great start. That front end is awesome. The way you've come up with all that linkage to do all the the things it needs to do, is amazing. Now, when you say it's going to have front wheel drive too, I can hardly wait.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou. I can't believe how fast you build. I thought that this was just starting, and from the looks of it you'll be loading logs soon. The build looks great, but wait! what the heck are you drinking, I though everyone in town drank Lucky. Isn't your town the Luckiest town in Canada!!!!!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
The way you and Greg build equipment, next year there should no one on the dole in town. Between the two of you there's enough equ. to keep about ten crews busy. The Grapple is a big bruiser and your right it will take the Moose and a half to carry that thing around. LOL.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Wow, that looks great! It doesn't look like you need any help with it (and you are going for a 2554) but Ertl makes a 1/50 scale 2954d which is pretty detailed.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou, That was a good idea with that long butt painted to look like a beer can, gives a good reference for size. If you guys plan on having a gathering of model builders there on the Island and you allow "foreigners", I would try and make it. Talk to you later, Fred

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou, you never seize to amaze me. That boom looks great and the grapple looks like you just shrunk the real one.
