Add a few more prominent screws, ...

Bernhard

... and the top is also ready.

Bernhard

And here's the cover.

And with that this subassembly is also finished. The cover is only loosely attached and does not fit exactly yet.

Bernhard

As can be seen on the prototype photo, the casing has no door. To hide the unsightly parts of the drives, I decided to give the model one.
The hinges consist of tubes with a diameter of 1/0.6 mm and strips 1.5 x 0.3 mm.

Bernhard

Of course, the door also needs a latch.

Bernhard

And there's the door.

If I had known it was that easy to build an excavator, I'd have built a couple last week! -- ssuR

Well you certainly got the lead out  ???

This could be a banner year for you!  And just to bust your chops to bad you don't have a magazine to get your work published in!!!  ::)

The next subassembly is somewhat simpler: the bucket ladder support.

Also for this part I make a soldering jig first.

The individual profiles are soldered together here.
