I thought you and rc13 are neighbors? [/QUOTE]

We are not really, we live too far from each other. He rather buy them built as well, much better to wait and get it built for you, with the job, family , kids, you rarely have time to breath. I knocked out what I could build wise before the twins came and now I'm at a stand still, got an 8x8 to finish, 8x4 to upgrade, day cab dumper to paint and finish, flat bed to finish, redo my roll off, and actually turn on my 944 for once...... Maybe I'll just get it and sit on it for awhile until I can find some time. I sent Frank a message this morning, lets see what he says.

MoRockN,
I know what you mean about the amount of time that multiples devour. I discovered this hobby not too long before my wife got pregnant with Triplets. They are now a year and a half old and I have not been able to spend any time on this hobby other than keep up with this site. I would love to buy a kit and put it together. If I did, I probably wouldnt be able to finish it by thier 18th birthday.

I want one also, but he doesn't seem too enthused about selling since I have emailed him many times without any answers. By the way there is no paint on the cab, it's just a 3d printed white plastic.

I ment the komatsu paint is a no go here I ran some , and we only owned 1 . It got traded along with the JD's . Every 1 of their excavators I ran had no power in the track drives . I got use to turning with the stick the dozer we rented was too light . I hope he does . this would be the 1st model that I'm really interested in buying .I was born on 6 way blades

Yep, looks really fun, should be a good working machine.

It ain't even painted in the video, I guess it will be Komatsu yellow.

MoRockN,, Whats up? You said it, with all of the busy regular stuff going on, we don't have time to breathe. You are right with me, no way I could ever start building another model now. Like I mentioned to LIl Giants, just modifying what I already have and is it for me. Because some of the time, I will gut the model, and that will take a while for me to get it done... So I am glad that I built my Fumotec B50. But that thing has had ZERO problem though, so I have not had to take it apart. I hope I didn't jinx it.. Later
