Speachless!! What an epic model you have there! :eek:

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

Superb!! You Sir are an artist and for this to only be a hobby WOW!!! I do have a few questions for you, How long have you been in the machinist hobby? How about a pic or two of your hobby room so we can see the tools you use? Did you go to some sort of machinist school or are you self taught?? I have been wanting to get a lath and a mill and teach myself how to use them,but was afraid I wouldnt be able to do it without CAD and digital readouts but it seems it is possible to do anything manually with skill and patience thanks for sharing you time and tallents..

I am in the machinist hobby from some year and as you can see I use Proxxon manual tools. No machinist school, only self taught. Unfortunately I have no CAD and no digital readouts, too many expensive for me but as you say with skill, patience and passion all is possible ........

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

Your D11 is very well done I do not think any one could ask for anything better even your shop show how you are about the way you do things very nice. Ed

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

Oh my gosh. You made everything for this model with manual machines, not even having digital read outs?!?! You have an incredible gift. How did you machine the parts that have a radius? Do you have an indexing table? Your work is so amazing. I wish I had the same level of skill that you do! There would be nothing I couldn't make!

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

Fantastico...!

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

Thanks for posting that shop pic! I gotta say I figured it would look that clean..
Do you use cutting oil as you machine? If so how do you ceep it off those pretty floors??

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
 

Yes Espeefan, I use the Proxxon indexing table.

Crawler07,
with a little of attention the Proxxon machines can work also dry, without cutting oil, I use it only for hard steel. Then every day I clean and lubricate the tools so they will hold out a long time and after I clean also the floor ....
