Great looking job Peter. Hope Handy can get a seat made to measure.

Thank you one and all.....
I've had a good day; umpired junior netball this morning [U8's & U12's] nothing too fast that I can't keep up with, though sore tonight.
I spent a good 3 hours in the shed working on the Bobcat making some noticeable progress....
I fixed the mistake as previously mentioned then got out the scrollsaw, fitted a new #9 2way blade to cut out the cabin windows...
Sanding and a cabin glue up followed....I added the extra piece between the top of the cabin sides under the roof for strength [little boy proofing] and then added 2 headlights to the front/top of the cabin.....
I've done a bit of a mockup for a photo opportunity for Handy plus the cabin on its own...
Maybe more tomorrow..Cheers, crowie

More great work Crowie.
But Handy's in a dangerous position on top of that digger.
Working on smurf scale he could be a good ten feet up there.
With no harness on.
Man if the OH&S boys get sight of this type of shenanigans
there'll be trouble

Nice work Crowie. Some banter on another thread prompted me to check out some other work in the toy forum.

Yes Dave, That sort of banter isn't good for anyone and downgrades the whole show.....I feel bad about it all for everyone.....
I was taught to keep my gob shut if I can't say something nice, BUT of course the mouth sometimes gets engaged before the brain is in gear....
I hope you enjoy this little build with Handy & me...Cheers crowie

Hi Peter. I've been a bad boy and haven't checked the 'Toymaking' index for a while, so I completely missed this build.
At least I arrived before it was all over.
Looking good, and I'm pleased to hear that you overcame the problems along the way. As I've learned, (the hard way), errors/mistakes are a part of the game. How well they're overcome is what's important.
Keep up the good work.... Steve

Now a question for all PLEASE!!!
Now a question for all PLEASE!!!
How does one, how do you STOP GLUE SLIP, please.....[I'm just using a cross link good quality PVA glue]
I've just spent almost an hour, very frustrated with the cabin of the bobcat moving on the chassis even after I'd clamped in place with 4 clamps...
For some reason I then rechecked the fitment, watching & waiting for the glue to dry only to have to dismantle it and start again...
Here's hoping it's correct this time.....
Appreciate any and all suggestion from those with the "know-how" of proven methods, thank you.
Cheers, crowie

I know some might use masking tape. If you are using the 'rub' method for gluing this should work well
