Legs and drives: getting closer

Well, I've been working to get the legs together. And they're coming together pretty decent, all things considered. Still trying to decide how I want to attach some of the various bits.  I did manage to get some work on them done, however:

First I painted the outer legs...

...and then the middle one.
 

 Just for fun, I laid out all the stuff on one of the legs:

Eee, can't wait.

Anyway, tonight I got some bolts from the hardware store, and one of the wooden hubs that I sawed in half to make two proper sized ones. In any case, I was able to drill some holes using the hub as a guide and was able to bolt in one of the legs as a proof of concept. Very cool.

 Meanwhile, my drives and things came. The DDRII drives came from the same guys who do the temp wheels and mounting kits for Midwest R2, so they combined shipments for me. I got two full motorized drives, two mounting blocks to attach to the drives until I get my shells (the white things on the right), a stand-in center foot (the white thing in the top right-hand corner), and a wheel system for when I get the foot shell (top left). Lots of good stuff in here, solid as a rock too. Very glad I went with these guys.
