Astounding work. One thing's for sure---you build some unique equipment and your skills are outstanding. I take it this will get the "used" treatment as well?

Thanks Jerry. I usually don't weather mine, Dad likes to weather his older stuff up. I like them as they looked new.
Cheers:
Bill

Bill,
I have been looking at the models you and your dad build! I really like the work you both put into your models.
I saw one of the on the net the other day, and said I can build that!? After seeing yours.... well lets just say I'll find another subject.
What did you use to cut the holes in the boom? And where did you get your treadplate for the decking?
OH Ask your Dad about the links I sent him, just in case he forgets to tell you bout them.
Are you going to that show with your Dad?

Thanks guys:
Gator, I made a pattern on thin plastic for the side of the boom and cut it out, including the holes. I then traced around this and made four copies on thicker plastic, and cut them out with scissors, and used an X-Acto to cut out the holes. I used Plastruct 1/48 scale diamond tread sheet for the decking. I order it right off their website. I'm not going to make the show, I'm going up there next month to a model railroad show and swap meet so I have to pick and choose which one to go to. I'd like to go though.
Cheers:
Bill
