Nylint michigan crane conversion, hopefully

[trilliwilli]

I have been looking for parts cranes as well, but there is still a pretty large shipping fee, often between $50 and $60, and because it comes from the US, I have to pay taxes as well.
That is another 21% over the sum, a $30 parts crane bcomes a $100 piece of still parts.

I think I also like to have a little bit more room in the model, and my truck is a Wedico, which is scale 1:14,5, so for now I am sketching the crane up as a scratch built, due to wetter and COVID restrictions I am sitting at home doing nothing, well outside my work that is.

If I need some more info I will ask, thanks for the great help so far.
