I saw you mentioned you were looking for more scale looking hardware for the wheels, have you ever checked out lockedup rc, he's got a few different sized scale nuts, acorn nuts and scale bolts, ranging in size from 1/64, 2/56, to m3 etc etc here's a link for you.

Maybe something there will work for you

Thanks very much Dan. I am fairly happy with how it is turning out so far. It always seems like there are a couple of things that could be better.
Thanks very much for the link! They have some cool looking hardware for sure. I did make an order from Micro Fasteners and received it the other day. I ordered some 2-56x1/8 nuts and they look pretty good I just haven't put them on yet. I think I will be making an order from lockeduprc in the near future though as I need some scale metric stuff!

Thanks Nate, I have been working on this 6-9 hours every day this week. I never seem to accomplish enough in one day but it is nearing completion.

Thanks Lucas! I am really enjoying this build an like my KW, it will be a little tribute to local Vancouver Island logging history when finished. I just hope I can get the paint work done without too many headaches! I'm nearing the end of the part I enjoy...
