Hello everybody,
it's managed!
In the meantime, the
8th Crawler chain is finished and the
Crawler is already almost
Ready for Rollout! 
So here is the short farewell to a certainly stressful and monotonous for everyone, but necessary chapter ...
With the pinned couples the final countdown was ushered in,
and then the time had finally come, and the
456 Track Shoes have become now to the
8 Crawler chains. And the
8 Pins for closing the chains are also left over.
Since the
16 Drive Sprockets are already finished, I will soon have to think about which parts of the trucks I will build from the
Paper kit, or will scratch, or whether I should fall back for some tricky details to the
3D modeling skills of my friend Joe (
crackerjazz) from the
ARC Forums followed by
3D printing ...
Very helpful for this would also be the generous offer from
Sascha1990 in his German Raumcon thread (
Reply #14)
NASA Crawler + LUT and Saturn V as 3D print of his monster crawler for making the
3D STL Files available for general use on his homepage.
Unfortunately nothing has been seen of him since then,
as well as that he has not yet responded to my recent request too ...
So let's see, time will tell!
