The half track build

[NazNomad]

pffft, is that all you've done? :-D

 

[Dalboy]

Finished at last. I did not keep a record of hours but have enjoyed the journey in making it, all I know is that there were a lot of parts.

Superb!

I see there is not a half track in the 'Customer Corner' section of Toys and Joys, they were obviously waiting for you to finish this one, and well worth the wait too.
Most Inspirational. =D>

Anther one here bowing down to your skills and patience.
Even fettled the Design to enhance the original Plans.
Hope you keep all the jigs as a set, works of art in their own right.

Absolutely bluddy brill-e-ANT Dalboy!

And that jig with the cam lock looks a really clever and useful piece of work too. I may well end up copying it. Do I have to pay you royalties?

And a P.S: I think you said the vehicle is for yourself. Will it be going into a museum-type display cabinet? It certainly deserves a "proudly displayed" location.

That jig certainly speeded up the drilling of the links as I drill 4 times in each jig 2 for each through hole helped to make sure they all lined up. HERE it is in action and you can see how easy it is to use. I had to keep blowing away any swarf as a little would throw out the drilling point if it got trapped even when I remembered to turn on the dust extraction.

I use a very basic set up for my photo's along with a simple camera(Sorry poor picture as taken with my phone camera). I set the White Balance to custom and point at the white back ground and set it at that. Take the photo's and then a very little adjustment on the computer.

I don't take photo's in direct sunlight as it causes to harsher shadows and also a nice bright day also helps

Even my better-half said, ''WOW!!!!'', so you can take that as an official endorsement that it ain't a bad job. :-D

Dalboy, I salute you, your patience and skills. As an encore, I wish you to build me a Claas Dominator Combine Harvester at your earliest convenience. thanks in advance obviously :twisted:

 

[fiveeyes]

Stunning! That is just stunning.
Whatever comes next, I am sure, will be as great. Perhaps a howitzer, or some sort of field gun being towed. BRAVO!!

I didn't know what a half track was... but i'm glad i know now.

Speechless with the work and dedication its took you to create such a stunning piece.

 

[Dalboy]

Thank you guys. I just enjoy making things like this
