Thanks Brian, I take that as a real compliment coming from you. Thanks for checking it out and your kind words...

Lookin good Wolf. The beginnings of another master build, your attention to the details hasn’t changed. I’m looking forward to your updates, mate. This is going to be good. Jeff

Another awesome build ,Ron ! I love those old Chevy’s ! I’m missing your build threads buddy …. What a cool subject and another unique unit on the shelf. I love your thought process. Building units that no one else is makes interesting and exciting projects. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Perfectly done excellent weathering. Love it !

Wolf, it may be a long winter and a nice slow build might be just the exact thing to keep you going. I hope they get those treatments in hand and you will be fully successful. I’m looking forward to your updates as you feel up to. I know you will knock this out of the park. Tale good care my friend and we will be chatting. Jeff

Thanks so much for your kind words , Trevor, I really appreciate that and also that you took tome to find some of the extra hidden details. Thanks for checking the old dog out…

Ron! You out did yourself on this one. What an awesome build my friend. It looks perfect. And I have to totally agree with your assessment of Jurgen’s design skills being the recipient of those skills my self. This is an outstanding build and is a very unique unit to have on your shelf. Very well done , take a well deserved bow.

Wolf, I have watched your builds on LSP for years, and with your skills, I know this will be a stunningly spectacular finely detailed accurate build. I am excited to see another BC boy here. Also very excited to follow your build….. Did the Mossie get finished? Jeff

I am and I do ……. Interested and care ….. The oil distributor tank you designed had over 260 pieces plus the ones I added , it is hard to believe how many parts are involved to build a well detailed model. Very interesting

Actuality in all reality, thinking hard on that I think I only tore two off. One was when they had the flaps mounted to the dump box way back in the day and we were butt oiling gravel and I got too close to the pile due to inexperience and the second time was when we were hauling shot rock and a big chunk of rock fell between the rock pile and the rear tire. When I pulled ahead slowly so the rocks wouldn’t fall against a brake chamber it, instead pulled the dang flap off. 🙄Then it was a trip back to the barn to fix it 😘

Lol. They do on the real trucks too. … ask me how I know 🤭🤣🤣🤣

This operational stuff is just awesome and helps this layman like me understand even more the complexities of your build. I am glad for that information as I was wondering if, for the extra boom extensions would a low bed tractor trailer be in the mix. Now , ……….“ I know the rest of the story “ Thanks Tom

That is fantastic information and amazing math and physics. I had no idea. And 12 pounds before a failure is mind blowing. Thanks for that information. I have a whole new respect and admiration for these units now. Just amazing

I guess that’s mathematics and engineering at their finest. It’s just amazing …. I love this build , Tom.

This is a great tutorial on these booms. As a layman, they look a bit flimsy, but lift massive weights and an incredible amount of small pieces that are never seen but are essential to the operation. This is extremely interesting build and a great learning tool for those of us who know little about them. The quality of the build work is stunningly accurate and precise as well, a joy to watch. I’m really enjoying this one , Tom .

Perfect bends on the flap rods. Did you do that free hand? Or a jig? They look great.

Thanks, Carl, it was a fun build too.... took me back to some good old work days.... thanks for checking in...

I think it may be too late. Steve and Gary say you are. 🤭🤣🤣Not a bad job to have. You could make them stand in the corner … And now back to the build

And the old ones still shoot spit balls !

Now that’s cool!!!

Randy …… your engineering and execution with such finesse, and precision is more than admirable, you work this model like a surgeon. It is incredibly impressive. Hands like a surgeon, eyes like eagle and steady as a rock. So much talent on this forum.

I agree 100%with Gary. And lightning fast too. Very cool build.

"BMU", that's hilarious ............. and perfectly accurate!!

This is crazy GOOD.

What a cool conversion, so neat to see more conversions, this one is top drawer, love the hydraulics..... so very cool
