Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds

Thanks guys. There are a lot of guys/gals here that crank out some seriously nice models, so it makes me hold myself to a higher level of building. Dam machinists!

Holy cow, this thing is awesome. The frame looks amazing. Brass is popular for a lot of fine scale model builds, so it's nice to see someone scratchbuilding a model using it instead of aluminum! The styrene body work looks really nice too.

[Snochaser]

Thanks Nate. I'd like to do aluminum, but the ease of cutting and soldering brass made it the metal to choose. With no TIG, brass will be the metal I use for my next build too.

I managed to get the steering cylinders and mounts in soldered place tonight.

Ben, what a cool idea for a build!

Using brass is good material for the frame too..nice work!

That is going to be awesome when it is done.

Great job, just wondering are you going to be able to shift the R2? Looks too tight to use RC4Wd's servo mount bracket.

Nice job ben....Every model you do gets more awsome ...I saw a sneek peek of to shoes for that beast on FB

[dabears]

Wow that's looking cool!!!!! Great job in the grill!!

[Espeefan]

That is nice! I just went over your earlier build photos again. This model wil be a masterpiece for sure! I can't wait to see some more updates.

[Snochaser]

Thanks for the kind words gents.

Claus- I hadn't planned on using their mount, I figured I'd come up with something on my own.

Lou- Where at on FB? Steve's leaking the goods huh?

Waiting on the "feet"' then I will proceed with the blade and arms. I've been swamped with my company lately.
