Fordson tugger hoist

Awesome!

[Chuck Doan]

Thanks Guys!

I test fitted the core into the 3D printed shell. Thankfully it fit. The Fordson shell castings often broke on the front edge. I am using that feature to show the edges of the fins, since they are otherwise hidden by the shell.

I'm glad you had time over the holidays to do a little more modeling. -- Russ

Very impressive! I love the details that can be reproduced on this large scale.

Your work is just perfect.
No matter how hard I try, I can never find areas that can be improved.
It is the gold standard of modelling. Your models should be kept in a vault in Paris for reference.

[Bill Gill]

Even when you break it (on purpose) it's perfect.

[Barney]

Excellent - better than the real thing !

That looks amazing!

That's not possible, there isn't, Chuck proved us again.

Thanks very much! Nice pictures Barney!

I received the brass front axle parts from Shapeways and cleaned and assembled them. The axle had some minor print lines that were easily sanded. The round parts had no lines at all. The v-shaped radius rod was assembled with 00-90 screws.

The parts turned out very well. Do they seem as durable as cast parts? -- Russ

[Bernhard]

Unbelievable!
I'm actually building a 1/35th scale resin kit for a Fordson critter. No comparison. I could cry.
