This build just keeps getting better and better. I know i have said this before but I really want to see this under it's own power. And you are not a "pro"

Hey Joe, its good to hear from ya. I am working on the cab and interior....today, I painted the inside with the sand tone, tomorrow I will prime and paint the outside. I made the windows and got them on the dorrs today. If the weather holds as far as temp. and low humidity, this should all be done by the wknd.

This looks really wonderful!
The care you took in the appearance of the circle gearbox and the lattice(?) work on the back of the moldboard-carrier - sweet!

How strong is the circle rotation?

90% complete....I still have several pieces to make and add some lights. Finish detailing the cab interior, add details to the control column and make arms rest for the seat.




Making the hydraulic levers.

Have to detail the side panels next:




Engine Compartment

Rob, You have truely outdone yourself this time! Except for the wood beams in the engine compartment, there is no way a persone would or could know that it is made from wood. This tops your sprayer and your cotton bale truck combined!! Now I just need to see it in person!

Truly a museum masterpiece. But you've taken the next step and made it operate as well. What have you got on your plate to top this one.

Wonderful
Had seen the video before (or one like it?) but not the details of the cab.
IMO that level of detail just puts this over the top (in a good way)!

Awesome

It's very good looking, and it seems to operate very well.

What a great model - looks, operation, detail - all just awesome. I'd never believe it started life as a tree! Wood is such an unexpected medium for a working machine, but when done so well, who'd a thunk it!

Kudos for such a wonderful project!
