Okay folks I finally finished this thing after almost two years. I built it as a BU-99 instead of the BU-739 originally planned. The 99 is much bigger and fills up the carriage better. I made most of the decals save the logging company logos from AMT, and the truckin on ones. I also included the Northwest Log Truckers Co-op logo and the U f O Ducks sticker:) Gotta root for my team being a native Oregonian! I was going to make the yarder removable from the carriage but every time I removed it something broke so I glued it on and now I dont have to worry. Wit the 1" pvc water pipe for the tower and the resin wheels and DD 12V71 from AITM, its extremely heavy and awkward. It came out way better than I thought, and I'll get better pics of it outside when the weather improves! I guessed on much of the hydraulic lines, but They look close and something was better than nothing in that regard. Glad its done and on to the next one, a Weyerhaeuser Madill 009 on The 4 axle wheeled carriage!
