Man I like anything orange, but this is just to much to handle. Absolutely awesome job on both pieces. Your paint skills are spot on.

Nice job on the paint and all of the detail.

Thanks guys! I love orange quite a bit.

Another fine paint job! The compactor looks nice too! Did you change the screws out, for the roller frame, after you painted everything? I thought you'd see some paint missing from replacing the screws, after the fact, but it looks just fine! I like the black screw heads better then the orange.

Thanks Guys! Yes before I painted everything I knew what I was gonna leave orange as far as screws go, the ones I replaced with black ones were in an area where paint was not caked on , and the stock screws that came off originally had somewhat of a small head so it worked out nicely.

Bringing this post back from the dead. I'm on a time crunch to clear out the work benches so here we go. Got the steering all figured out with a High torque Titanium gear servo, I think the machine was missing some parts and mounts for it so had to make all from scratch. Got the glass all cut and mounted without any issues for once, measure 7 times and cut once. electronics all installed and working on figuring out the lights and beacon. Some scrap bruder bits were mounted to make a cab interior and floor. Just a mild ballast in the roller, very happy with the way this turned out. Here is her first test run:

Thank you sir! I'm really happy with it. So easy to run for a person that has never ran RC stuff before. My dad has something to do now :D
