PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)

[Cooper]

I know exactly what you are referring to with parts scattered!! For a long time I keep wanting to get another cart, or make something like you did. But it becomes another thing to build and gets put on the back burner!!! One of those things that should have been built along time ago and still not done!!! Come springtime I'm going to be moving the shop to another house, maybe then I'll take the time to better organize!! I keep seeing workshops like yours , where things are organized and clean, and I can only imagine what I could cluster up in a short amount of time!! Lol

Cooper, the only reason you see pics of a nice clean work area is because many of us or at least I do....is to push everything of to one side into a big pile and then avoid getting it all in the picture...LOL

I put aside the hydraulics for now because I'm waiting on some parts to show up, which is good because it's giving me a headache trying to get everything to fit etc. So here are some other pics of what I have been able to build in the past while....

I will be using the original tracks that came off the D11, not really to scale but they will work fo me. (10 more links/pads need to be added )
