Hi All,

I started this one a long time ago. Time to get it back out of the box and do something with it.

Ok, I made a start (or a re-start) on this. I put the chassis together ages ago. I've now decided that instead of having as it shows on the box and destructions sitting on the chassis in the lowered position I'll have it raised and starting digging. So, a bit of surgery, a short bit of sprue, a few bits out of my parts box and here is the basic set up. I've also ground off the little "pip" that represented the red light on the top and fitted a red flashing LED, the battery will go in the bases when that's done.

Great work Peter, a great idea to have it digging, and the LED light. Looking forward to seeing more.

I like that. Mods to show it "in action" are a great idea.

Thanks everyone. Your support is always valued. Here is a pic of the basic idea. I'll see if I can bollix it up from here.

Take care everyone and stay safe.

Apparently the chassis design by Gerry Anderson was originally taken from a small agricultural tractor.
