Nice!!!! Fresh off the lathe pulleys

Outstanding builds !

Looking good ! I'm starting my 59 next week really like the direction you went

Man your nailing this build ! The tint looks perfect, and the under hood sound deadening loos great ! A TRX would be awesome, the real deal is just rolling off the assembly lines now whoo hoo

Off the charts Bill ! Killer paint work too Happy Holidays too

Jacobus - tough call my friend they all look good

Few more days and we can get building!!!

Tossed a few braces and Meng bolts on for detailing. After looking at bare plastic for weeks this felt really good! One major part i wanted to knock out was the drive motor / cylinder that rotates the drum . A few pieces of rod, and square tube made up the assembly. The gear was found lurking in a spares bin Back to work tomo to pay for my snow tires... Thanks for following

Good work ! Always liked these platforms

Good choice !

Really starting to look ready for duty !!

Big mock up day ! Assembled the chute tower mount and had to see how it looked together I almost had a panic attack when it dawned on me the impeller drum wasn't gonna fit..but it dropped right in..whew !!! now for the chute drive motor and bank cutter parts ..the end is closer !!!

plenty of widgets..half the fun of building from photos is trying to figure out how parts get fabricated !! Theres a bunch of fun parts coming soon..just tackling the chutes now. Thanks ! Thanks ! theres still a ton of parts to make yet ..but its how ya eat an elephant one bite at a time ! Thanks ! funny how those kept me awake, then it clicked ..I think the major assemblies are close, now to add life t each making a small model from all of them. looking at certain parts now look boringly simplied, but once the bolts, widgets, and thing a ma jigs go on..it should pop

Jacobus- I can definitely feel your dilemma , all those options !!! I d go down the F700 rabbit hole..but thats just me ! awesome ! welcome aboard !!!
