Wheels are attached to bogies. Suspension is ready! Now, find a difference Frankly, I'm disappointed by the designer - how could he omit joining bolts between rubbing plate and suspension arm... Nah, just kidding! :) The detailing is as always top notch! Almost like a real thing. And...

Thanks Micah Finally! I finished road wheels. I must admit, that i really don't like repeated assembling and especially with tiny parts. And the irony is that i build mostly armor vehicles :) Last step was in process And finished Now i only need to put it on bogies and done.

I prefer to post process and finished details, so you can see the end assembling.. But road wheels take much time to assemble, so i decided to post some pictures before i finish. As i stated before the key is conveyer assembling Power structure finished Outer stripes glued Inner rings...

I don't know if it is the newer, because i have it for over 15 years now, but my type is with ratchet handle, yes. I tried to use it before and was not satisfied with results, but i think you just need to get used to it and find the optimal handling. Now i used it in this model and it was easier...

Thanks guys Micro update. Took a lot of time to cut all the parts and touch the edges with paint. Finally i started to use circular cuter from OLFA that i had for years :) Helped a lot cutting wheel parts. Now Ford conveyer again. ;) First step is in process

Excellent build my friend! You dealt well with all those problems! :)

Good job on this model, Boris! Yes it brings memories. By the way, you remember that there is still waiting another nostalgic model of a crane, for you? ;)

Hi everybody Progress was a little slow last month... Next step in bogie assembly was track support roller with bracket and track skid. Started with rollers Continued with roller mounts Attached them to rollers Then support bracket And parts are ready Bent six track skids...

Work in progress :)

Thanks pals. Updated with missing picture of skin parts

Remember me? :) Continued to assembled bogies Connected all the parts and closed with front panel Now it was time to put a skin on the frame. It is one big part that overlaps from all sides

Looks good!

Well, i did a mistake - i glued two plates 246 and 249 on narrow side. It was obvious for me, because the width was the same, but the right side is the lengthy one. Already corrected it. Sorry i confused you. :rolleyes:

Finished bogie frame parts. A lot of lamination here Here you can see that detail 248 was rounded on one edge to make slim corner And all parts are ready to be assembled together

That's the word i looked for! Offset Thanks :)

Thanks everyone for positive feedback :cool: Assembled upper springs bed. You need to glue a ring from two pieces: inner and outer. So i bent them and glued together asymmetrically, which gave a little tab to close the ring. Also spent several evenings to cut bogie frame parts At this...

Thanks again for you amusing comments :) One more step is made - spring seat with volute suspension spring. There are six, one for each bogey. I made one ring where spring will enter at top, so i can know the diameter spring must be rolled. (There no marking or explanation ho to roll it)...

Thanks to all :) Next part was suspension lever. A lot of lamination here to make a very detailed part. And again a lot of repetitions. In this picture you can see that i didn't cut the parts all the way, so i can touch edges with paint in comfort way. Here is conveyer process of...

Thanks mijob, Boris and Zathros I continued with wheel arms. This are rubbing plates on which suspension levers seat and move. And last are connecting hubs. They join two arms together and eventually we got 12 pairs of wheel arms one for each wheel. Arms finished and i want just to...

You sorted out those issues very well, Boris!
