Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
I haven't posted here in awhile, this project has been on the shelf since my last post. I pulled it off the shelf and got a little bit of work done on it.
I rough sanded the cab roof and fenders.
I also added the grill and some small detail to the bumper as see in this photo
Still need to do the headlights, turn signals, the brass "Transit Crane" nameplate. And those vent things
I also did a little work on the crane's housing. Made the radiator panel which means the crane has a caterpillar engine
I also added some rivets using a paper hole punch. The door now slides as well
I'm still trying to figure it out how to go about making the cranes frame. my plan was to mill a base out of a block of aluminum, but I no longer have access to a milling machine. So that plan is out
maybe I can solder together a frame out of brass
