Hi Old Dragon,

I am till in the race! I've been plodding away slowly, but we all know how Life gets in the way!

I'll post some photos of my progress shortly.

All the best,

Grubby.

Hey Graeme, good to see you....yeah, life...er, alot of snow got in my way lately{18"}. Lost the snow thrower motor and then my back went out. I just got the snowthrower motor replaced but I'm still waiting for my back to fully recover - I'm nearly there!
I need to button up a few trucks myself..and plan to!

Hey Bob, I'm in and out. I really am at my limit right now and bit off more than I can chew with group builds (I thought life was going to calm down...heh!). Unfortunately, my 1/24-25th stash is almost gone (nephew) so I went with Tamiyas' Deuce & 1/2.

I have the subs finished and ready for a little scrap detail. I'll try for a progress pic in the next couple of days.
My main focus right now for kits are my Demo Derby entry, and some Armor I'm too close to not finish. Then I'll jump back on this and hopefully produce something which is at least half as good as your stuff.

Well, I had totally forgot that I was signed up on this build.....
Life has been hard this last year and I just haven't had the motivation to build anything at all. Kind of in the doldrums I guess. I have a Road Boss started that I was going to make into a dumper....so far just the frame is done and the engine I am using is about 80% done(installing a DD 8V71). Thanks for the push, maybe I'll work on this thing... might need an extension...never have been a fast builder.

This is as far as I got on my Road Boss. Detailed the engine some, replaced and detailed the tranny and separated the batteries (they were all molded together) and made a new battery box cover out of aluminum sheet and some PE tread plate.







I got this off evilbay as a glue bomb and am rebuilding it. Lots of work! Now I also have a new one for future reference.

One day it will be finished.
It's not that much work anymore, but I must replace some kitparts.
And I don't know how yet.
When I find out, I'll be back in bussines.
