Got a little more done on the Big Four. Now that the Harrisburg Toy show is not going to be held this year the pressure is off to "Get er Done". Will keep plugging away till it looks finished. Fred Attachments:

I would say that you have picked one of the most difficult mediums to model with. but the end results are outstanding. great work

You guy's need to put your heads together and hold a model display/show at the Oregon Logging Conference in Eugene every year. Mike

Now that's a thought. I think I will do some checking around and see if I can get some info on doing that. Might be a cool idea.

Thanks guys! I appreciate you having a look. now if only I could get promoted to yarder engineer and stop chasing, maybe I would have more energy to work on my models.(Ha,Ha) Fred

Gator, You are right about the powder coat not being period correct but its a shoot ,bake and forget finish. I actually don't know what shades of color this tractor was so I'm just going to "wing it" and see how it comes out. Thanks for having a look, Fred (deposed Yarder Engineer)
