Re: 990 cat loader
 

Hi again.

In the last 2 month, i collected a huge number of Cat blueprints, with aid of these documents, i built a 3D model in 1:14,5 with every little details - Some of the inside mechanics are still missing, but they will be done shortly.

Steve, before going further i will make a new thread for it, but if you don't mind, i share the results here: https://www.behance.net/wip/316985/659439

Always great to see the 990 progress. The pins and locks look spot on Steve.
I think the broken keeper is perfect! I look at a pin like that it tells me, that one went dry seized in the bearing and the pin tore the lock off and was repositioned after repair.:p:D...another touch of realism;)

Great job Steve looks real good. Ed

Re: 990 cat loader
 

That's great way to make those pins!!! I've been thinking on how to do such. Sometime in future I'm going to use your idea and get rid of the c-clips I'm using on pins. I tried to make the flats undersized and press pins into but just not enough material to make tight enough and reliable. And loader looks great!!!

Re: 990 cat loader
 

The pins came out nice and the loaders looking better all the time, but what I really like is the jig you made to mill the pins! Nice job! Sometimes the set ups harder than actually making the part.

Just wait a few years when you can't see and your hands are shaky and then try the little parts. :D Hopefully it won't happen to you but enjoy things while you can. Nice touch on the detailing of the small parts. These things make a model.

Re: 990 cat loader
 

Steve,

Nice detail!!! I agree, normally it takes longer to setup a part than run it.

Re: 990 cat loader
 

Great work on those pins, Steve! 16" of reach makes this Cat a monster!

Re: 990 cat loader
 

nice build but noticed u steal haven't done the up grade to the tires barn hausen modellbau might be a good answer he has a large selection

Re: 990 cat loader
 

I have some on order since Christmas from RCM which I think barnhausen makes them for RCM, not a werd yet :( . I tried Barnhausen directly with no reply . I was hoping to have them for this week end :( There was only 1 size I saw that was close .
