Been away for awhile

[Cat966c]

Wow!!! Holy crap, that was an ordeal! Well I'm glad I'm back now and thanks to rctac forums for cooperating with me. I got logged out/signed out because I was having problems posting pics of my turd-err I mean project lol, and I forgot my password and requested a new one and somehow I didn't receive the new password until I tried again today (again; thanks rctac forums:D) But BOY do I have some progress to show you (finally past the cardboard phase lol) if I can get the pics to work!

So, in summation: glad to be back, I have a lot to share, and it's good to be back

Looking forward to seeing your cardboard aided design!
Cheers!

those wheel looks so familiar possibly from a New Bright 992 front end loader lol I have one too.

[Cat966c]

Yep! Lol. I'm using them temporarily, I got some actual good ones with the right dimensions, but those new bright wheels look just like a 966c axle. It's weird

hey what ever works to get the job done

[Cat966c]

Heh, yeah that's the thing: the jobs not getting done. I feel like the guy from slapshot when they're forced to do the fashion show. ):
I want to throw this project/turd down a steep ravine. It's like every time I progress, there's a setback and I'm back to square one. It's infuriating.

[Cat966c]

I'm seriously questioning my skills and sanity

[RCP57]

Don't give up! (Insert "Joe Dirt" catch phrase here) Your skills will improve if you keep at it. You have a good start already so it would be a shame to quit.

[Cat966c]

Thanks! (:

I myself usually have to have a go at something to get the function of it then tweak along the way till just right. Then many times remake again so it looks prettier. So don't be afraid to try. We learn by our failures. If you don't fail your trying to go beyond your current abilities.

[Cat966c]

Thanks man, I really appreciate that (:
