The next pieces were for the main body, I'm using 18mm and 6mm MDF. I used a bandsaw to cut them length ways and a chop saw for the width. It measures approx 60mm wide and 300mm long. The shorter ones are about 200mm long. The reason for the space at the rear,is for the cab.

Next, I marked out the shape for the front with the different angles and carefully cut them using the bandsaw, the holes for the main bucket arms and servos were measured and drilled.

Also the holes for the wheel shafts, again using some aluminium tubing I inserted them with a tight fit into the MDF. The shafts themselves wont be turning, the rear wheel will be driven directly from a servo using a chain and sprocket, so the wheel will just turn on the shaft.
