CAT 773G
So the "CAT" is out of the hat, and Ive decided that my next in depth Personal build will be the CAT 773G quarry dump, Ive always wanted to build a Quarry dump but was unsure of which model... ive scaled down the 773 and its a perfect fit for my requirements and will work just fine on my personal layout. This build will be in depth no detail will be ignored, with full interior detail including engine and it components, lights, sound, etc.... Gonna scratch build everything except wheels tires and drive-train, Ill have my buddy Keith work his magic with his "metal machine" and Bend me up a nice bed for this big boy and try to get him done for Cabin Fever in April....
Here is the inspiration... http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...suiu1vjpk.jpeg |

Re: CAT 773G
Will it be a 3412 or a C27. Both of my Morbafk grinders had C27 in them set at 1050 hp. The two new machines that came in have C32 set at 1125hp.:D

Off topic, if you can 3d print from a picture have I got a job for you of an engine block, trying to get a 1/16 scale Leopard 1 engine printed for a recovery vehicle.

Re: CAT 773G
So i had some time to myself the other day and got around to making the frame
http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1ghyc3te.jpg I liked how it came out considering it was my first time dealing with brass on a bigger scale http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psok36rfze.jpg but after succesfully making the one side I realized it was too time consuming to do it this way so i reverted back to good old aluminum http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psbsjhl9wp.jpg also finished up engine design and ran the test print... very pleased... http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9oixgbt3.jpg |
