FB Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 wow!!!, thats looking great!!,if its anything like your previous work....it will be stunning! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Is this just fixed at the front and back in the two places? even on the real deal? must be quite a bit of weight there. Are you are using solid brass bar or box section? Looking good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 the real one is bolted to the tractors chassis front and back...my model attaches the same way,2 very strong points front and back,the model is heavy yes but along the way i have gained immense strenght in the brass and the finished model will be both rigid and counterbalanced.....i use box section brass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
