Build an Excavator from Scratch

I really am amazed at how quickly you complete all this fabrication! Very nice!

Thank you.

Fast? This build is running since eight Months. But the end is nigh

The Cabin is done and the work on the Hull has started.
Unfortunately I'm not able to "metal shaping" with a shrinker/stretcher/english wheel in a proper way. So I've decided to make the back not really round but in five parts.



After two hull panels (the back and the small part behing the cabin) I've mocked up all the parts to check the proportions.
I like it so far

The superstructure and the undercarriage are now connected.

The electro block has moved from vertical


to horizontal


to get room for ballast, if i need some
