Henry, Look in my 1:1 topic but that's my kids toy I built him back in 97' It's just a little Struck Mini Dozer I modified to resemble a Cat D4C about 1/2 scale I added a hydraulic blade also.
Pugs, That's only about 1/4 of my shop, there's more back in the darkness. We have about 12,000 sq.ft. |
Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
I got a few pieces cut this weekend on the second or middle 30-3/4'' (41') boom section. I had to do some serious filing and sanding to remove the machine marks from the Tee chord sections too.
I could have gotten more done but had the urge to operate the machine with the temporary boom on for about 2+hrs:D http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7859/dscn0058b.jpg http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/4157/dscn0060u.jpg Some tubes cut for both sides http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2868/dscn0117u.jpg |
Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Looks like you are making some progress steve-are you pleased with the way the model works with the boom section on? Is it strong?

Does anybody know of a source for lighting? I want some big spot lights on the boom. I was thinking of buying Mini Maglite reflectors and build my own using their Kypton bulbs. I found I site that has model boat spot lights. I may get one and see how it works. |
Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
On my model I will try using Plexi cut to size, drill a hole on rear and put a white LED.
The Plexi was bought as scrap at local dealer, LED´s are 5 for $4. Plexi comes in different sizes, sheets, rods, I use 1" sheet (part of) and cut with bandsaw. My LED´s are 3,2v 20mA, 2 connected togheter can be runned on reciver battery. http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0256.jpg The brass strip will be used as guards outside lamps (on CAT models).

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Well Steve have you got it all packaged up for York next week? I will see you there. Ed
