Hi Caveman
I'm curious whether you are drawing drawings for each component? They look great.
This fully proves that you have a good logical thinking.

All I can say is WOW.

Thanks guy, I must say that I amaze myself some times. Here's a rear view and test fit on my plough.




More to come guy...

I like your style and philosophy

The more I see it, the more I think it must be a master for mass production.

And this time I didn't say it would be for free

LOL your to much bison., Ok guys I really feel that this is the most Vishas looking peace of equipment I have every built. I'm working on the three legs so, I'm going to take a brake and post more photos later. I'm trying to take the best photos I can so you guys will have nice clear images to look over.

I just wet myself. Badly.

This build is incredible! How are you getting everything cut so uniformly from one side to the other? I assume you're making templates of some sort? CAD/CAM possibly?

Well no I don't used any type of cutting units, just my hands.


I trace the shapes with my hobby knife.

You can tel that the one on hte lift is a bit to big. I'll have to rebuild it. Any way I finished building the full plough., but I realy need to go back and rebuild the two fron Legs.

Here's a full photos of the hole model. Sorry for the othere project in the background.

Un-freakin-believable

I get frustrated attempting to build an ammo box from plastic card, and you manage to build marvels like this like its 1+1=2.

I am in awe.

Caveman;
Been following since the begining. You've done a Fantastic Job !!!!
THIS IS DEFFINATELY ON MY "To Do" list, but the duanting unavailability of photos has kept me @ bay. Well done sir, and hopefully my build will go as smooth.

Thanks guy but not all is smooth. In the post above my last post you can see that one of the legs is way to big. An I must rebuild one of them and then finish the MICLIC boxies. So soon I'll start the paint and weathering.

Nice work on the plow and mount. When/if you re-build the arms, I think those skids at the end of the arms should be parallel/in line with the tank tracks, they look kind of funny splayed out like they are. Impressive beast!

Jim

Yes your right the skids should bepointed in the same direction., but first I need to bring the overall size of the legs down. Here's some of my work.

Here's a bit of work!!




Here's a shot of just how I come up with the right size and shape for parts.


I don't use any big drawings nor layouts. I just draw my ideas out on the white card stock and cut and shape.

Skid brass sheet detail added.

Man the more I study the photos I have the more I see detail I have to add. The three skid are finished.




Now this next item., I have no kname for is so I'll just show my progress on it. These two items and chain support the middle part or toe.





It runs under that middel part.

Here's some more progress work. (Got to Love that small detail)


Man it was hard to add the detail in there with all that other stuff in the way.


Now I'm not done yet, with the two side flaps as I call them. I have more detail to add.

haha, what a comedian! Any more detail and that thing is going to shoot you in the hand and drive off your desk

Caveman;
I admire your building skills No Doubt....................But as U say (referance from my photos). I wear the uniform and dont have that kind of access to an ABV. Where on this planet did you get those kind of photos.
Not being able to fill in and build an accurate Beast has been what has kept me from comencing my own build of the ABV. My GRIZZLY is already on the bench, only because I shot over 200 photos. For my own library.
Cheers to you Sir!! Im going back to my bench now.

Hi!
I must admit I do admire your patience to scratchbuild that Pearson FWMP. I have seen it in real several times and I know how complex this construction is, and if it goes to dimensions, it is even difficult to take the dimensions and angles in a way to get the whole thing correct. So, congratulations to your work!!! I follow your build often and I am always interested to see how it goes.

Coming to the teeth of the ploughs, these are so quite detailed, but I am afraid the tines are not in a correct angle, or may that do have its cause in optical distortion by taking the pictures? It seems that they are pointing outwards whereas the center section tines are pointing forward which is the correct way. Did you realize that during your building process? All the tines, these of the shares and also the center section must point straight forward when on the ground from my point of view. You should check this again with your reference, but I think this matter is very difficult to correct if it should be a little off.

Anyway, again congratulations to your work!

Andreas

great work!

Thanks for your viewing guys. As for my top secret photo. Wellllllll.....
I clicked pause play on a video of the ABV and printed out lots of photos.




An (AKirchhoff) your right the direction of the plough blades on my build are pointing away from center.



Fixing them would mean I would have to rebuild the lower half of the two side blades. I may could save all the teeh but I would have to make a new top peace.
