Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane
Thank you for the comments, gents.
Stuffing that equipment in the upper was one thing, but the carrier is just about as stuffed. That mechanism that lifts the counterweights up off the deck so the upper can glide under uses up all the space between the rails for about 8 inches or so.
As the weather has finally gotten cold, I have started back in on this. A few small refinements at first, and now I'm building the deck on the carrier, including the fenders, cab, all the cosmetic stuff. A change in it's looks will start taking place here soon.
Kerst, do you also model plastic trucks in 1/24-1/25? Just curious. That's my favorite scale to work in.
I'm still blown away by your crane, all that machining and engineering is stunning, especially in this scale.
