finally I finished the machine on Monday morning at 3am after working all weekend to get the machine finished in time for the launch of the new Britians model in the JCB Theatre where it was used for the stage reveal. It was a massive amount of work to get it finished considering half of it still wasnt painted on Saturday morning! Ten friends including childre helped me rebuid the digger on the weekend. I hope you like the pictures I will post

painic on Saturday afternoon that the signs hadn't been filled or painted. Found a local signwritter who came at 7am in the morning - what a lifesaver...
