That's really fine work, I tried something similar with my USS Olympia but it lacked the 'feel" of your work.

Great job! Not only did the tractor turn out well but I love the groundwork and the rest of the dio too!

Thank you all. This was one very chalenging build. The front wheel and the engines are little projects on their own and there were quite a few fit issues, too. The tracks snaped together easily but fell appart as soon as I bent them to put them on the wheels. And my increasingly trembling hands pushed me almost to the point of quiting modeling, which I just might do as it is very difficult to build.

Well done!  It's not abandoned, it's just parked for the winter!
