Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

That has been plaguing me for quite some time.
Some people ask me ; "When are you going to put the skin on it?" and some like to see the internals.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

I gave that some thought but I don't know how to do weathering other than how it looked prior to this rebuild. I know of a guy on the DHS Diecast site that weathers his crane models and they are...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Here are some more pictures of the I beam frame coming together. I spent about 28-30hrs putting this much together. Every hole had to be re-tapped to make sure the 0-80 screws go in easily. My...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

I knew it would have to be done someday Ed. I never put all of the screws in it because it would take too long to put them in and remove them when the time comes. It also costs a few bucks just to...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Ha. The vintage1:1 machine this represents is small compared to newer models.

Thanks for the interest in my build. Wish I could work on it more but time is limited due to running my business.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
