Front Engine chassis finished

Building front engine chassis

Intermediate Drive Wheel Hello there , I just finished cutting cardboard pieces of another kind of drive wheel. The frame position is quite well fitting. I tried without glue. Parts connection is very strong.

Thank you Tony I finished the test build of Main Drive Wheel. It works well. There was some gap between surface and surface by cutting and bending errors. I repaired by adding big volume of glue to those gaps. And removed the exceed volume by a cotton bud. Those gaps were completely removed.

Thank you Bob and bulldogowner I'm back to the long journey again. The wheel skinning process is under testing. Not finish yet. :noworry:
