discussion 1/48 "Maultier" opel with Grue Bilstein 3T crane

[rtfoe]

Hi Lee,

I've missed too much. Must confess I'm not a fan of 1/48 military vehicals but had to comment on a really nice build and conversion of the Maultier. :thumb2: You've cut the engine bonnet...are you adding an engine under the hood and detailing it?

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks Richard
I’ll be adding the engine but the hood will be glued shut

Nice update Lee. Good luck with the cabling

Worked on this a little today
I built a base for the crane body and put the tracks on as best I could after that I notice the front end was of the ground so I made a new axle for it. Think I’m going call it a day and get ready for SantaView attachment 323677View attachment 323678View attachment 323679View attachment 323680View attachment 323685View attachment 323686View attachment 323689View attachment 323690View attachment 323691

Well you have a lot of builds on the go at the moment Lee. It looks fine with the new axle. I hope you have a chance to take this one the full distance.

Lee, nice to see you got the front axle sorted out. This is progressing very nicely.

Thanks Steve you really want me to execute this build don’t you ever since I’ve started it on the MM well my friend I may have to do that soon. I think I’ve finally got a plain for the rigging of the crane
