Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
It is summer and I haven’t had too much time for the hobby. I worked a bit on the enclosure of the upper. It proved to be more complicated than I expected, mainly because I couldn’t agree with myself...

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
The past week I worked on the swing gear. There is plenty of space for the whole assembly, so that was no problem. I added a spring-loaded clutch. I tried it and it seems a bit fast, so I might add a...

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
I did some work on the cab. I added the doors with homemade hinges. They still look clunky, but this was the best I could do.

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
Thank you!
I haven't worked with any type of remote controlled clutches yet. I have thought about it, including using pneumatics or servos.
