Beautiful clean precise work, as to be expected after viewing your previous works.
Looking forward to seeing the Belle finished.

Lovely work, and cool subject Gordon.

Thanks guys for your comments. Here's a photo of the Belle sitting on a stand that's holding the tractor and the two track frames in place, and helps locate the two cross members. There 's still a lot of detail to be added.

At first glance I thought the assembly fixture was a shipping pallet.

Thanks guys for your comments. Here's photos of my progress. The tractor is mostly finished and. The front and back wheels, and the side frames are also. I still need to add the detail on the axle and the control linkage to it.
