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.

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!!!!!

Talking 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.

wow. boom looks great lou, this will be a nice addon to the collection, can't wait to see more. I really need to get my truck done, so I can come up and see these rigs and get some build tips and teck from you and Greg, cause once the dump is built, I am going to need something to load it,

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.

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

Lou, you never seize to amaze me. That boom looks great and the grapple looks like you just shrunk the real one.
