Very nice of you to say thanks  Made the roof out of .030 sheet, did not bend in a jig, will just glue it on later.    Here with some clamps on   Went back to the main crane and added detail, put in the holes in the back weight, safety switch on the front, added the wiring, some bolts and handles for the doors etc so now this can be painted.       Regards Richard 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hooked Nige Thanks Nige getting closer, received some primer paint for the Mig Paint so should be soon.  Getting closer to finishing the Coles Crane part I made the Hook Block, need it to be a little heavy so that it would look right when I add the wire so I went with brass, all parts are workable.  This is what I wanted it to look like,   Started with the sheave, made the first one to big       That it for now, Regards Richard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi TGA, started the hook by looking at the picture and notice it was very close to the scale of 1:24 so I just traced around it then transferred this to a 3/4" square bar      Then I milled around my marking, parted it off on the lathe this is what is left.   Then I used my Turbo Carver with a dental bit and carver the shape, then after that it was just filing    This took approx 2.5 hours to make the hook, not sure if it to scale but I think it is very close.

Used the picture which I used to make the crane hook to make the lifting beam, made it to be 6" in depth, the clamp bracket moves at this moment so until I mount it to engine I will see where it should go.

Okdoky Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It will be based on the centre of gravity of the real engine as a purpose made frame for that engine likely ! Your model engine will have its own centre of gravity you will need to check and maybe alter to get the look right ! Maybe a weight added here or there inside to get it looking like the photo !

Nige Hi Nige, thinking of drilling a hole in the bottom of the engine and filling it with lead then hopefully CoG right.

Well time for an update, have been working on my project, just been lazy to take some pictures Started to add the detail to rear wheels    Then made the brackets to hold the back hook   Then went back to do some more detail to the cab, added the air filter as per the pictures Rich posted      Did not like my first attempt on the seats, again this was looking at the pictures so here is the second go.      That it for now, Regards Richard 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I don't know how I managed to miss this build so far Richard. This is really amazing work. I am also impressed by your work space: it's not a man cave but a man cathedral The Typhoon is a looker too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I assume you have a lathe, vertical and horizontal milling machines, laser cutting machine, water jet cutting machine, 3D printers, Ion drive flux capacitors, magnetic plasma containment fields and some technology known only to time-travellers from the 24th Century..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
