1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Steve-you have a lot done since I was on here. Parts look great as always. Will the sockets be painted or just a natural steel finish? I see you complaining about your eyes. You don't know about eye problems yet. I really hope no one has to go through what I am dealing with but life goes on and I will do what I can, when I can.. Your 9W is really looking good and will certainly be a masterpiece when finished!

Thanks Tom, After reading your 777 post I see you are really having big problems. Please try to get well and continue working on your projects to keep your mind at ease .
As far as painting the sockets, I picked up a can of red Rustoleum this week and I'm going to paint the sockets and possibly (if I can get some of the wear plates made for the bucket) paint the bucket. I was thinking of painting the walking shoes black but haven't got the urge to paint anything on the machine yet.
