I've been working on this model for 15 years. No! But it sure seems like it. 5 steps ahead and 4 backwards. I have painted the cab and fenders at least 4 times and it's soon to have another shot at it.

Not the best picture but trying to show the clamp I made on the stinger tube.

Hosted on Fotki
This picture shows 3 pieces that I overhauled. The top piece is a long landing gear support from a trailer. I cut the axles off to make the pins for the front wheels on a KW that were lost. In the middel is a steering piece for the KW and I had two so I cut one in half, drilled a hole in the front bumper tow hitch which is normally lying under the buddy seat, and made a pin for ir. It will be attached to my front bumper and the other end of it became the clamp for my stinger tube.

I know they hard to see but these are the two pins I made from the landing gear for the front wheels. Takes a minute to do.

My interior that I'm sure you have seen before.

Cab the last time it saw paint. Maybe this time will work.

Running gear slowly coming together. Still a long way to go.

And a little different angle.

I have felt so bad that I haven't posted anything for a while but this has been a chore but I will prevail.

That's why the tube and the clamp. Mike

I like the detail you are putting into it. I know what you mean about 5 steps a head 4 back, I have that with all my builds Dave

Added wood to the steps and cab guard. Shortened the safety chains on the stinger. Just need to finish the truck flaps and paint the cab and hood and some detail. Mike Hosted on Fotki

Well...................................I got brave enough to try the paint thing again. It's really been eating on me. I painted the white on this unit and also painted the first color on my Pete dump truck.
