Progress is slow but a little bit more done. Added the clasps to the turntable cover.

Then some parts were replaced with brass on the crane as the plastic parts were very brittle or badly formed


And the boom cable was added from elastic thread.


I have to clean the cables up a bit. The cable clamps were made from wire and plastic strip.

cheers

Progress is slow but I'm plodding along. The vehicle is on the base for a test of the layout. You may notice some parts on the truck require painting still. The legs on the work table I have had to make again as the first ones I made I copied the dimensions of the kit parts, however when I offered it up for a test fit the legs were about 5mm to short meaning the table angled sharply down making it impossible to work from.
The crane is not glued just dry fitted to allow me to position it later and the cable for the hook is also not finished again to allow me to put the hook where I want it later.

And work also continues on the building With the addition of boarded up window and steel gates. I also just for a change want to create a concrete hard standing as I have never had ago at that before.



cheers

Thank you Jim, very kind of you.

 

[scottie3158]

Thanks Nick, I hope so this is the first time I have had a go at concrete.

 

[scottie3158]

Thanks Joe happy you like it.

 

[scottie3158]

Thanks Paul, I thought the steel door would be a bit different to the wooden doors I normally do.

 

[scottie3158]

Thank you Bob.

 

[scottie3158]

The brickwork has been picked out roughly as my intention is to have worn paint/whitewash on the outside, so fingers crossed I don't louse it up.


The concrete has worked out ok, well I'm happy with it. But lots more to do.



cheers
Scottie

Hi, Paul. Just had a catch-up. The base is looking as good as the truck. I really like the concrete, looks like the real thing.

Thank you John, I must admit I am quite happy with it given it's my first attempt at this type of surface.
