Tesla Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 looks like I missed a little glue mess.. time for the lower roller guides ! I'm trying ribbon for the belt, hopefully it has the look I'm afterkeep building ! JeffYour knocking this out of the park!! If I may make a suggestion...what about making the belt from a bicycle tire tube? I've used it for a number of things, and it might give you the look your after. If there's a bike shop in your area, ask them for an old tube, that's what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That is nice work! I love seeing scratch building coming together. And that's quite a support you have for the end of the boom! Congratulations on the new addition to your family. As the Bible says " train up a child in the way she should go and when she is old she will not depart from it" God bless!

gotnitro? Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 It's been several years, but I drug this old dog back to finally finish it. I was never happy with the half round lap welds, so CTM etch weld beads were used..absolutely love them. Its gonna be curbside, so it went right to primer . The cab is Tamiya Mica red , the barrel flag is started too. Painted it gloss white, added school stars, and painted the lower section Mica blue . Later it will receive its red stripes Heres where i stalled .. And a few hours later.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta thank Tom B for the suggestion to pinstripe the white instead of wider stripes I was having a time laying out evenly . The last puzzle piece was priming the conveyor boom, I originally over built making a 5 minutes job eat up hrs . But it's in color now ready to accept its belt ! next time ya see it, that will be installed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Lockdown day...never mind I've lost track ! I swear it feels like reruns of Groundhog day The boom is mounted !!! I wrapped the belt , built in some droop, and locked it down for good ! now it needs sway braces , and a million other small details before being finished...hopefully that's gonna be very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
