Needed to make up 8 fender frame mounts (couldn’t find any in my junk), used the Ming bolts to add detail, got two offset fender rods for rear most mounts made due to rear tapered frame shape. Get the wheels built up and finish brakes, then can install rear fenders.
Hey Gary
Looking great, but now you need to add some meng bolt heads to the mounts for the fenders, that will top it off for sure😁😉👍🏻

With a couple modifications, looks like the disk brakes will work on the front as well without increasing the front axle track width. I need to find a smaller air chamber for the front by looking online at disk brake equipped trucks. Wanted to test fit all this before committing to this modification.
Hey Gary
Nice project, but you should rotate the brake set up so the air cans will clear the spindle mount, either to the front or rear about 15°.

Looks awesome!
What are you using as straps?
I'm curious cause I always print them or I use cable ties!
I'd love to discover new ideas!
You can get scale yellow straps from ST Supply.

OMG, major disaster, I spilled glue on top of the tank when attaching the chrome straps. Now, to see if I can remove straps then repaint, second: build a new tank again.
OH, Man that sucks!!! Hope you can fix it Gary.

The boom continues to be a major part of this build. So far, it has about 380 pieces. When done, with the rigging connectors, the folding portion and the boom head it will have well over 750 pieces in its construction. Started putting the boom connector pieces in place today. THIS is where I wish I knew how to 3D print. If only for the uniformity alone, it would be fantastic! Boy, do I miss Shapeways! Used to be able to get all sorts of tiny intricate parts made to order. But making 20-30 of the same piece just builds character!!!
Well you my friend have a ton of character. Unbelievable build, just fantastic.

Hey Gary
I've been there before when we went to Traverse City to visit with my wife's brother. It was a nice shop. To bad it has to close.
