Re: Volvo EC300D
Nasty weather kept me from working today so I put a little time into the Volvo again. I finished the hydraulic tank and started doing some detail in the cab. I'm cheating and using some wood inside the cab but I just don't have the patients to build the controls out of alum. I hope to have it painted soon... I want to start something else...

Re: Volvo EC300D
Looks great and the wood is a great medium for the interior. I have seen a lot of scratch tractor builds in German forums that use wood for that.

Re: Volvo EC300D
I put in a few hours on the Volvo today. It doesn't look I did anything but the hours went somewhere. Finished painting the interior and started on the cab. Hopefully I can get it all painted by the end of the weekend! With all these other excavator builds starting, I've got to get moving again!

Re: Volvo EC300D
Great job. I really like this build, I've been watching silently and envious of your skills.

Re: Volvo EC300D
Thanks guys. Does anyone dislike painting as much as I do? Anyway, I got a bit more done today but I hate waiting for paint to dry especially when the paint looks the sh!$# and you have to redo it! The paint on the bucket looks great... figures that it would turn out and the cab looks like poop. Maybe tomorrow...

Re: Volvo EC300D
Reg I don't see a darn thing wrong with the paint. Just use the fifty foot rule and if anyone gets closer you know what to do!!!!
Sometimes it's frustrating when you try real hard and with paint there ain't no golden rules to follow. Just keep trying till your satisfied!!! Rob |

HAHA I though you may enjoy that one... It looked tasty to me. I don't if I could get all of that on my plate at once though.

Re: Volvo EC300D
I'm still having very little success with the yellow color and I've tried 3 different brands of paint now! The last stuff I bought sprays OK but after 14 hours in front of a heater it's still tacky The greyish color is fine and looks good enough(kinda) for a machine that hopefully get banged up with use.

Re: Volvo EC300D
Hey Reg, I like the Cat yellow spray paint, it goes on thick! Would wet sanding the cab help it look better? Keep up the great work, I can't paint either!

I finished the undercarriage and boom today so at least that is back together. I just put the "final" coat of yellow on the main chunk of the house so hopefully tomorrow I can mask it and finish off the rest of it. |
