Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Thanks guys. There are a lot of guys/gals here that crank out some seriously nice models, so it makes me hold myself to a higher level of building. Dam machinists! :)

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Holy cow, this thing is awesome. The frame looks amazing. Brass is popular for a lot of fine scale model builds, so it's nice to see someone scratchbuilding a model using it instead of aluminum! The styrene body work looks really nice too.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Thanks Nate. I'd like to do aluminum, but the ease of cutting and soldering brass made it the metal to choose. With no TIG, brass will be the metal I use for my next build too.
I managed to get the steering cylinders and mounts in soldered place tonight. Ben |

Soldered up the grille.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Ben, what a cool idea for a build!
Using brass is good material for the frame too..nice work! That is going to be awesome when it is done. |
Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Great job, just wondering are you going to be able to shift the R2? Looks too tight to use RC4Wd's servo mount bracket.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Thanks for the kind words gents.
Claus- I hadn't planned on using their mount, I figured I'd come up with something on my own. Lou- Where at on FB? Steve's leaking the goods huh? |

Not to hi-jack but Steve have you thought about a pull behind sheepsfoot? Would be perfect for the tractor conversions!
