Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

very nice start Lou!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou Your off to a great start. That front end is awesome. The way you've come up with all that linkage to do all the the things it needs to do, is amazing. Now, when you say it's going to have front wheel drive too, I can hardly wait.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou. I can't believe how fast you build. I thought that this was just starting, and from the looks of it you'll be loading logs soon. The build looks great, but wait! what the heck are you drinking, I though everyone in town drank Lucky. Isn't your town the Luckiest town in Canada!!!!!
Rob

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

LMAO Cumberland is the Lucky capital of Canada...Thanks rob...A couple good days and I will be working on the piping , And i still have to have that grader built for next spring

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

The way you and Greg build equipment, next year there should no one on the dole in town.:D Between the two of you there's enough equ. to keep about ten crews busy. The Grapple is a big bruiser and your right it will take the Moose and a half to carry that thing around. LOL.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

wow. boom looks great lou, this will be a nice addon to the collection, can't wait to see more. I really need to get my truck done, so I can come up and see these rigs and get some build tips and teck from you and Greg, cause once the dump is built, I am going to need something to load it, :)

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou very nice work it looks like that you bought and added on the detail is great. Ed

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Very nice work Lou, that boom looks great!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Looking good Lou !! Fred

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

That is pretty sweet Lou! I like the boom stand! LOL!!!

Brian

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Wow, that looks great! It doesn't look like you need any help with it (and you are going for a 2554) but Ertl makes a 1/50 scale 2954d which is pretty detailed.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

The Deere is lookin good , you must be the only one in Cumberland that has Bud in his garage. Did you forget you are in Lucky Country..lol

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou- it's looking real nice, yet another nice addition to the V.I.B.C. fleet.

Thanks Rob ,Jason ,Ed, Scott ,Fred ,Brian ,Richard ,Greg and Ben ...Hope I didnt forget anyone...I really do appreciate your guys input...I hope i didnt build with too heavey a gauge and make the boom too heavy
Ben I like the sound of the V.I.B.C Fleet ...Its sounding like there may be be a few more guys intrested from port alberni ,,,Cheers everyone and dont forget about clocks going back

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou, That was a good idea with that long butt painted to look like a beer can, gives a good reference for size. If you guys plan on having a gathering of model builders there on the Island and you allow "foreigners", I would try and make it. Talk to you later, Fred

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou, you never seize to amaze me. That boom looks great and the grapple looks like you just shrunk the real one.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

now that has some bulk to it!
