Fore sure I enjoyed this build-log of building this nicely details machines, François. And installing it on both sides of the plexiglass is a well thought idea. I hope you will post some pictures of the completed diorama.So, my part in this project is done. Tomorrow, I'll be tranfering it to the diorama guy. Here are some pictures showing a bit how everything came together.
The inner plexiglass with laser cut openings mounted in a temporary frame
Bottom half screwed in place
deflector installed
Both bunks in place
Top half screwed from underneath thru bottom and plexiglass thus locking the bunks in place
Tigercat glued onto the top surface
Firts chain ratchet binder installed
Both binder and cross braking cable installed at one end (same was installed at other end of Tigercat)
Tool boxes, front vent and front buoy installed
Mast glued in place
And 3 retaining cables attached
Triton arm inserted thru plexiglass and glued in place (all pivots were also glued to eliminate any movement and rigidity the assembly)
And finally, the harvesting hand was installed after passing the cab lights wires thru
A few shots of the completed models
Hope you enjoyed following this build half as much as l enjoyed making it.
Regards, Peter
