The cable is 40 LB. nylon lead loaded deep trolling line. To paint the line I pulled it through a paint soaked cloth. I used styrene to make up the chain-guard, seat and seat cover.

This build is almost finished. All I need is to add the chain on the power-take-off.

The model itself is amazing, because there is no place to hide errors or to take shortcuts. But the neutral white paint and the weathering really bring out all the details. Wonderful work!

I agree with all of the above. A lot of solitary hours at the bench paying off in a fine model.

You might consider a shot with your hand in it or something so we can see how big this is.
