A few weeks ago I trekked up to meet Bruce Bates of Birdwater fame. While there I acquired a few of his past kit offerings. I’ve decided to begin with the critter. I was told all the kit was built for use with the Aristo-Critter block. I didn’t have one of those, so I used a 45tonner block.
I had to adjust the frame a little to get the motor in.
I think the future 7/8 ‘stuff’ will initially run on batteries and switches.
Here’s the critter with the ‘Toby’ I built way back to Fn3 Scale…course it don’t look bad at all with the 7/8" critter…wonder if my measurements were wrong after all?
I need to get some wood filler and begin that process. To cover the wood, I sprayed a little gray primer.
while shopping wood filler, I’m going to try to locate the ugliest green/yellow/orange to finish coat it with. I’m also going to add a styrene skirt to cover the holes behind the counterweights.
Back later
