My goodness, when I looked at the early pictures of this build, I loved what I saw, but had NO IDEA how much more would come.

Stunning, that's all I can say,

Your work is so amazing and wonderful. How long do your model builds generally take you to make?

It took me 6 months to finish the D8 Cat dozer it generally takes about 4 months or more to finish a model.

Another fantastic model! The articulated track looks like it could actually move - does it?

This is absolutely amazing….Pardon my ignorance, but what tools do you used to produce such delicate pieces? I assume you are using a variety of tools, but what are the main tools you use?

I'll bet I can guess his top three tools: talent, skill and patience.

the tracks do move while i am building them but by the time i glue the
plates on the tracks and when i give the model a few coats of cabothane clear satin they tend to jam up.
