Started this a couple months back. Haven't had much time to work on it in a while, but got some stuff done today.

I've got most of the back parts done as you can see, but I'm still missing some details.

It really is a cool looking piece of equipment, which is what drew my to it. Just had to model it.

Will be posting updates as they come.

Edit: Of course right after I get some work done on this and post up a WIP, I find the most detailed set of walk-around photos ever, and I can see that alot of my parts aren't accurate. Looks like this will be a long one

With the new photos I found, I'm gonna need to redo alot of work to get this accurate.

Here it is stripped down and ready for reassembly

A little more work done, finished the inside details of the chassis, also added the axle for the track things.

Tons of rivets on this model, good thing they're easy to make, and they really add alot to it.

Started work on the track things. Still needs some more detail work along with the other wheels and track links of course.
