Because parts 12 through 14 have to be aligned with each other, all of them need to be constructed and mounted carefully at the same time.

This is WAY more detailed than Dragon's 1/35 plastic kit. WOW!

BRILLIANT.... what a linkage system - you do well SIR

Here are a few pictures of the steering cylinders. Also a picture showing both the Modelik and Dragon frames for comparison purposes.

Completing the cylinders puts me up through part 19 in the build. Next up are the suspension pieces. A lot of suspension pieces!

My build progress has stalled on this project. I am working on the suspension but am lacking motivation. I will continue once it returns. In the mean time, I think I'm going to switch projects to rejuvenate myself.

Hey, been there and it is good to switch subjects to keep those hands working on something. Then when the interest returns you go back to the object you left off of with renewed interest. I have this problem with the 1/72 U-Boat that I have put back until ready to complete. Look forward to whatever you choice to build.:DRick

Yes very good idea to switch builds - but just to let you know that what you have done so far is marvellous and look forward to you re-kindelling your interest in this beauty. Take care, and big respect to you Greg
