I made the protection brackets, the bottom plate and tow hitch. I didn't want to have all that open space in the rear. I am going to make somewhat of a motor to look the part.

Here ar a few more pics, I tried to put them in the correct sequence, but they may be out of sorts. Too tired to explain each pic, but if someone have questions, feel free to ask.

enjoy!

Remarkable craftsmanship Robert, no one would ever guess it's made from wood. Keep the pics coming.

Wow, that's good . How did you worked the surface that the paint looks so smooth? Did you fill the tyres or are they just hollow?

You would make one heck of a pattern maker with the way you can make that wood do what you want!

Pattern maker-HA- more like a pro model maker, museum quality models that is!! I do believe this tops your ag-sprayer and cotton bail truck.

Thanks all for the kind words, but "pro", no not me, i just have a habit of trying to pay attention to the details. Patience goes a long ways in this hobby.

tc1cat- when iset out to build a model, i look for something to challenge me

9W- thats how i got suckered into building two Globe Theatre's for Romeo and Juliet set while in High Sch.....it was fun to do

Lorenzo-To get the paint to look smooth, i cover the wood with glass cloth, then sand, fill, sand to the touch

Lil Giants and Trucker47, those words mean alot coming from your guys!

Thanks again

A truly remarkable bit of wood work, well done
Tim
Tim, i used fine-weave cloth and CA. I also used gap-filler CA. There is also a lite-filler called balsa Rite. I use that after the first or second sanding to get low places or maybe where i sanded thru the cloth.

I agree! Totally insane level of detail here, Rob. Incredible work. I don't care what you call yourself, but I think you are more then worthy of the term 'pro'. Good work.
