Treadwell WED-15-77 build : JamesF

[Jaffa007]

So Wednesday was the final few pieces finished off on Thread.

The week running up to his first 'live' event [this weekend, here in the UK], has been a busy one. Had to order a correct servo controlled switch, which arrived in plenty of time. I then had to 3D print a bracket for it, of course lol. Uploaded the only sound file I have for him and tested it......yesssss it worked.

Weathering has been ongoing, finally used black acrylic paint (mixed with browns).

The claw unit, that I had reprinted, needed painting (I'd forgotten to do). All now reinstalled.

Think I've finished building the transport sledge for him/car.

Have also been helping to organise and promote this weekends event, so this, plus Tread, plus work, plus home family, has been VERY busy. I've not had time to upload final pieces to my Blog web page or on here.
I have been asked by two builders about my 3D files being made available, I will be posting them up on here first for posterity lol, and then we'll see, as my head is not the square trunked design....so can't claim film accuracy!

I will post up photos, update Blog and my site next week after Sunday's event
