Just completed for a customer.
Now I need to build mine!
It is the largest donkey i have built to date.
Makes the Dolbeers look like HO scale models!

Thanks guys!
Jerry;
actually 153 people "looked" thats probably everyone in the world interested in logging!
Mike;
The "machine" is a CHB kit, the fairlead is a McKinsey piece.
Everything else is scratched. |

Sorry Jerry, took me two days to pick my jaw off the floor and get it re-hinged. 
Marty, as they would say on the Finescale forum, it's adequate. [:-thumbu] |

Thanks guys!
Adrian,
Here you go;!!!
Before the fairlead was on.
The missing roof piece was a request by the customer to show off some of the roof framing.
The machine is modeled toward the end of it's service (not new)
Mine will be "newer"
And here is one before the roofing was installed.

| Marty, you say this is the largest model you’ve built. . . . “how big is it”, as Ed McMahon would say. Great looking piece, the subtleness is what”s getting everybody. They're mistified. Do I detect coffee stirrers there? |
