About a month or so Reg. I think you figured out where the wheels will be coming from.

Thanks Joe. You'd better get moving.

Ben your brass work is absolutely amazing. The frame on that loader looks like it all just fell right together. I cant wait to see some more progress work on it and some vid's. It's kinda hard for me to tell but how large is the loader compared to a Tamiya truck? Looks pretty good size from what I can tell so far.

Thanks Tyler. It'll be bigger than my 963B. I'll set it side by side with a truck and the loader in a future picture for reference.

Hey hey hey. You're really letting the CAT out of the bag Mr..

Woodhog- I used my bandsaw, dermal and a pilot bearing router bit to do a lot of the trimming. It got a little spicy at times with the router.

Thanks guys. There are a lot of guys/gals here that crank out some seriously nice models, so it makes me hold myself to a higher level of building. Dam machinists!

Holy cow, this thing is awesome. The frame looks amazing. Brass is popular for a lot of fine scale model builds, so it's nice to see someone scratchbuilding a model using it instead of aluminum! The styrene body work looks really nice too.
