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

Wow, that is really sweet... the subtle weathering is really good... nice clean build... really like this one....

Thanks Randy !!

I always miked the style of these trucks. They look tough and ready for work. Your design work is iff the clock good. This will be a really interesting and fun build to watch. Looking forward to the next update.

Holy ….. this is really cool. Nice scratch skills ! This is one to watch.

This is awesome.... crafted like a fine watch maker.... your metal work is more than something to behold...I love looking at this come together, every time I look I see something I missed the first time, your 'welding', soldering is just perfect.... man this is cool...

Wow, Steve … that is true modelling in its purest form. Awesome work. I have to keep reminding myself this is 1/32 not 1/25. Big difference. You have amazing talents.

Thanks Ron , you are too generous. This means a lot coming from you with your unique builds and from a guy who also worked with these trucks, you know exactly what to look for and I am glad I hit most of the correct details. I am looking forward to your next build. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Thanks buddy. I really appreciate that !

Thanks for checking and the kind comments, Ron.... it does feel good, I really tried not to rush it near the end, which was difficult as I was getting to a point where I wanted it OFF my bench, I do have to say, that I am quite pleased with how it finally turned out, and how some of the little details really made it as complete as I could with out a super deep dive and a year's worth of work... it took about 5 months, and I now have a somewhat unique unit and very well detailed in my collection.... the two guys who were most involved with the design and printing, were absolutely phenomenal in their desire to get things exactly right and to proper scale and as much detail as possible.... they also had the desire to make the build as seamless and uncomplicated as they could..... it was a really fun project to liven up this old kit.... what's next...... hhhhmmmmm....

Posted this under glass. Thanks to all who checked in and watched and to those who commented. I appreciate the feed back and all the positivity. You’re a great bunch.

Outstanding !!!!

You do such clean work ,Steve. Your scratch skills are excellent. And your foresight to look ahead is amazing. Loving this unique build.

Just W O W !!! This is top drawer !!
