Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
Thanks Joe, I have most of the parts made for the boom and the total weight is 14lbs, once everything is in place etc I'm planning on milling away some of the unneeded material thickness in places where no support is needed to help bring the weight down. The full scale boom is 26000lbs, 1/12 scale is 15lbs, so if nothing else on this build is to scale at least the weight should be close!! LOL
The full scale weight for the boom, arm and bucket is 39.4 tons (78800lbs) 1/12 scale would be about 45lbs. The total weight of the full scale machine is about 400,000 lbs' 1/12 scale would be about 231lbs.
