That has been plaguing me for quite some time.
Some people ask me ; "When are you going to put the skin on it?" and some like to see the internals.
My plan is to make the house but also make it removable on the left side.
That way I can show off the machinery and be able to see if the wire ropes get screwed up . The operators cab is on the right side and that will need to be attached securely.
I hope to have scale operator in there with the controls working in unison with my movements on the 1:1 controls and some of the red and green lights on the control switches working as well.
