RichO Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 2022!! I hope everyone has had a great time so far!! I managed to get some work done on the project this holiday. Mostly because we got snowed in for a few days. View out the model room window. I concentrated on the driver cab this week. Not as much done as I'd like. Front end of driver side... Side door openings........ Cab construction......... Now that I have the outside shell for the drivers cab, it's off to the launch cab. I'll be back.......... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Rich Nice start on the cab - you make it look so easy and we surely know it's not - it's an art and skill I know I can not do. Keep 'em comin Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichO Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hey All, This is getting fun now. The geometry of the cab area is a bit more than I thought it was. (Wacky Russians). Everything seems to be slanted a bit and one of the windows is twisted. I'll get it all sorted. This is the engine cover air vents........ Engine cover........ Another cab........ This is were the engine cover lives........ Two cabs Jackson........... Everything is just sitting here......... Now that the cabs are roughed out, it's time to finish and detail. This may take a bit of time. See you next time All............ 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Must be a nightmare, to get everything aligned on the cabins, Rich. Again, a great example of your scratchbuilding abilities. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichO Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hey, It's been a bit since last posting. Only a little work done, but steady progress. The interior has a lot of items to build and install. These are just a few... The Driver seat...... It lives here with, seat pads later.......... I also worked more on the doors........ and a lot of do-dads for the interior of the driver cab.... It's taken some time, with everything else going on, but the driver cab is just about done. More next posting. That's it. Thanks everyone. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichO Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hey Guys, Still working on the cab interior. I have only a few more items to be built and installed befor the cab is finished. I built up various small fittings for this space. This is the gauge panel for the dash.... and some wiring under.......the dashboard is simple paper printout of some dials, glued into place. I also built the steering column, E-brake, and such....... test fitting the outside panel. making sure that everything fits inside. No outside panel....... I still have a bit of work to do on this side, befor I start on "the other side". That's about for this week. Until next time. Thanks All. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichO Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 HEY ALL, This was a good build week. Altho it may not look like it, much has been done. The cab is just about finished, but with a bit to go. I finished the interior of the cab........ The outside wall has also been worked on, and is in place........... It looks like it will fit into place, OK Always test fitting........ Still a ways to go, but it looks good so far. I have started considering how the next part of the build will interact with the cabs, but actually building anything for the next section is a long ways off yet. I have the next cab already cut and shaped so the build for the other cab should be a lot quicker. I have been working on a OOB kit with not much improvements, but it still takes time from this build. Altho a nice change of pace feels good sometimes. Until next time, stay tuned. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
