Beautiful! What else can I say? It looks this good already, and it's not even done yet. I can't wait to see the rest.

Little update... I have been working on a few different designs for the hydraulics. The plan is to keep everything small and compacted. More on that as I develop the system.

Also I am in the process of redesigning the drive system to make it a little more practical with components that are on the market. This will help to keep the cost down by not having so many custom parts on the drive system. Most of these part will be out of view anyway so I will not take anything away from the design intent and look of the model.

There will also be an update with more machined parts added to the model. I should have the parts in a few weeks or so. Yes it has been a while since I have posted... just too many projects going on the past 8 months. Think I should retire so I can just work on my RC rigs.

Od Jhon deer...
I had the tires made through a friend that worked at a Hi tech company that had a mold machine in their shop. I had to design the mold and pay for the material and his time and the process took a little bit of time because we had to use the machine in the off hours.

Markus...
thanks for the praise. There is a lot of time, $$$, and work invested in this model.

Espeefan...
There are more parts on the way!

Mpe this is a very nice build and you have paid a lot of attention to detail and it shows. You must have a lot of Cad time in on this one. Keep up the Great work. Ed

Wow, the walkway/platforms are amazing. Must have took some time to machine those parts out of aluminum! Your truck cabs in the background look nice too. 3D printed, I assume? I can't wait to see the rest of your projects. Judging from your project wall you are going to have an incredible fleet of models, when you get them all finished up.

.

Espeefan... I can't tell you how long it took but I'm sure there is a fair amount of machine time that went into the platforms. Each one of those thru features is 1.5mm wide x 3mm deep. Yes you are correct on the cabs. I printed those six years ago and from what I remember it took around 14 hours to print one.
