got a bit of painting done, want to paint all the light holders and still waiting for front guards to turn up, also have a slight problem with the loader.
one of the rear wheels has come loose and my small nut driver has gone missing so I cant sort out my loose wheel.
I don't want to go to the local hobby shop just yet, It could end up costing a lot.( usually dose , all those shiney things)
cheers for now.
going to redo the decals on the arm as not correct and also theres a few to go on the motor housing .

ps the loader is only allowed inside if it sits on the newspaper LOL.

I can't help but drool when I see this beauty. Now go get the tools you need and treat this loader right!

Holy smoke! I thought the top photo was of the real one and I was about to comment and say nice job on making scale decals to match! ! That top photo looks so close to 1:1 and I looked at it several times. The only thing that gave it away was the red color transmission.

cheers for the positive comments, Im trying to make this look right , it getting there, front light brackets in paint and a few more decals done, will have a few beers and look at it, not sure that Im happy yet but getting there, maybe it just needs a little more dirt on it.

just one more in the sunshine.

all right time for some updates.

excavator:
ordered a sound card from eagle machinery ( same as my loader)
and crammed it into the excavator, am running it of the 4th valve so after my Y cable (signal reversing) turns up it should be all go.

have also made a few decals for the rock truck,

also had a slight problem with the loader.
had a rear wheel come loose from the axial, emailed tang at eagle machinery and got a detailed how to do , remove wheel, remove ring gear, pull axial, pull washer , look inside and find 4 small bolts holding planetary gear to axial housing tighten up and all good.


new drive motors for excavator have turned up so will fit those when I have a bit of time, also front fenders for loader here and painted.

also have eight more diggers, early one morning on my way to the shed for a bit of play time and I spot this.

heres a real quick video of the sound card, flat battery.
you can see how the revs drop when the sticks are moved, the signal reversing lead will fix this.

cheers andy

cheers paul,
waiting for better weather then a few more outside shots.
got the conveyors finished and running good.
need to put loader back together, had a bearing failure in the rear diff.
input shaft bearing toast!
got a new gear set from manufacture (free) and put some shims in around main diff gear bearing, and milled a bit of clearance for the diff lock leaver ,also rechecked front diff and fitted shims, milled a bit out the same as rear diff.
need to find a bit of time for a play to see if it is all good.

cheers andy
