Good Morning,
Following, naturally. ;o) That is an impressive blade, Fynsdad. Is it light or heavy (solid core?)
regards,
Painless

A lot of photos on that site fynsdad... are you going to detail her like the one depicted? Have you figured out how to raise and lower the blade ? She's a challenging task for sure..can't wait to watch the progress :thumbup:

One of my friend on the french forum and a very good scale worker, has made a Sherman dozer with a steel blade. He has used one of these electric verin.

The result is great!!!
