That is some fine work there. Do you CNC that stuff? I was gonna buy a carve wright from Craftsman for workin w polystyrene but after further research found I would be better off sending my ideas to the pros. I wanna make trailers and truck gear for 1/25th scale model trucks

Hey fred, do you go to the Brooks show? I am planning on getting up there this year and would be great to meet up and talk old trucks and stuff. My friends from Myrtle Point are saying that A KW fan like me HAS to see this show. I was at the ATHS show in Pleasanton this year and had a blast. But I bet you guys have a ton o loggin stuff at this event

Jdigger4130, If you are going to the Brooks Truck show(last Sat of Aug.) let me know for sure, I have plans to attend another antique tractor show but could change those plans to Sunday and meet you at Brooks.
Dirtpusher9, Thanks for taking the time to having a look at the Tigercat. I checked out your shop yesterday, nice to see the place where your Cat was born. Fred

Great! i will fer sure. Is this tractor show you speak of like a steam up? Ag ? or all kinds of things. I am very interested in this as well. If I am up there why cant I do both? I am not afraid of windshield time at all.

If you hadn't seen the 1st one ,I bet you could not tell which was which...only one is real .

 

[heavylift]

I think if it was weathered and had some branches in the claws .. It would look like the real deal even more

Nice model
