Gav836 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Well after two visits to Standens factory at Ely to measure the real machine up I thought I'd better start on building the model so heres the progress so far. The main tubular frame is just about finished along with the oil tank, the side panels have been fitted to the frame and the digging section of the main elevator has been assembled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
