AXM Shuttle, MLP and Crawler

[milenio3]

Thank you my friends!

Ok, I keep on going...

Now let's put the supports or the base and steering systems.

The steering system has 2 pieces of supports for each set of tracks.

Then I add the other support pieces.

And here again the 4 little crawlers ready to be assabled into the base.

[milenio3]

Each set of tracks have 4 Diesel motors, which are the real soul of the monster.

Here are the pieces for motors.

The motors go between the tracks.

Multiply that 4 times, and now we have the 4 crawlers almost complete.

OH NO! There are still the steering system, suspension system.. I cannot call it finshed yet!!

Let's prepare the transporter base.

The base is created out of 3 laminated pieces. I used cereal box to laminate.

The belly of the transporter has the places whrere Diesel exhaust are going to be placed.

Now here are the base and parts to put stairs and cabins.

The base ready.

More updates after a long break.

Let's prepare the stairs and accesses.

Not all accesses and stairs were photographed, but this is an example of the others.

And here is the detail of some little pieces that we'll use to support the stairs and accesses. The pieces are a big part on the inside and a couple of little handlers on the outside.

Now some photos of the crawler with stairs and accesses...




Is it complete? Not yet!! There are more stairs on the other two sides, and the Diesel exhausts.

[milenio3]

Now the front and rear stairs.

A stair and an access.

Installed on the crawler corners.

Stair to upper level.

Stair to access the mobil platform.

In this case, the stairs on these two sides are not equal, as the other two sides.

Now the steering system.

Let's make them out of cotton swabs for the exhaust pipes. Then, some black ink on the tips, and paper pieces to make the steering tube.

There are 2 in each section...
... to complete 8 pieces.

[milenio3]

Now, let's go and make the exhaust pipes.

Bending the cotton swabs, according to the diagram, and with this method, they became rusty and burnt!!
They are ready.

But then, the time comes that Sir Alfonso, from his higher grounds, looked at my updates, and he points his finger at me!! Well, the thing is that I put half of the crawler belly the other way around!! So he kindly suggested me to fix that detail.

Not this side on the photo by the way.

FIXED!!!
