\ Jacobus, You are so right . No matter you big your workbench is. It is never big enough. And the number of models you have is unimportant , compared to the pleasure you derive from the hobby . I like your ideas for the KW coe. Be Well Gator

Awesome attention to detail. And excellent execution. Every time I think you have finished this build you add more detail. Fantastic build. Be Well Gator

Sam, Don't give up the ship just yet. There is plenty of time left before the Build off deadline. Just think positive. Be well Gator

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I did much of anything on this build . And I figured that since I am waiting on some parts for my BRBO build I would work on this one. Decided to go with red for the second color. The color of the paint can top was misleading. I thought it would be a lighter shade of red. But the darker color works as well. I modified the kit battery boxes , filling in the snap tab hole on the front of the box . I did one set of battery boxes with the thin diamond plate from Plastruct . And that set will most likely go on the single drive truck. For this truck I decided to try something that Dennis ( tesla ) turned me onto . It is a product called Mr Grip . Sold at Home Depot or Loews. It is meant to be used to fix stripped/wallowed out wood screw holes . It comes in a couple of different sizes and is metal ( be careful of sharp edges after cutting !) . The metal is kinda bright. I am going to be painting mine. I also started to weather the chassis . The motor had quite a bit done a couple of months ago. Still need to use some different color washes . I am going for a well maintained but hard working truck ! As in it most always needs a bath.Being it has been working on a huge road building project, and rarely gets to the main shop and the steam genie !As spends most of the time on/ off road on site. Enjoy the photos. Please excuse a couple of the shots that turned out no so good . As always comments ideas and criticisms are welcome. Be Well Gator

I like the idea of red tanks with chrome straps ! I really like that blue !! Be Well Gator

X's 2 Glad to see you got the paint problems sorted out. With that color you have lots of options for a two tone paint job. Be Well Gator
