Hi danny
Are there any plans about so you could scratchbuild one? You should be able to source the wheels easily enough....
Cheers
Tim

I agree with Tim , Danny its quite within your skill to do it. I'm voting for the crane! :smiling2:

These chaps are 1/32 but may suit.

I would check out model railroad sources for quayside cranes in 1/48 & 1/72 scales (O&HO) for models that could be modified to suit. Usually just making bigger doors will work if the model is large enough. PaulE

David , what about a truck being used as a crane to lower torpedo / supplies , like the 35006 Einheitsdiesel with Bilstein recovery crane

Just caught up Daniel, and two great reviews. Oh and it is massive

Thanks for the help and advice fellas i can certainly try to scratch build the base and maybe ican put the cmk crane on the top of the structure!

Jon: the figures looks great can you tell me which company makes them and where you find it ! Thanks in advance

I also found from verlinden a gentry crane but it’s for a tank repair however seems like the distance between would fit on the pier but again the wheels would be a problem here it is ! [ATTACH]311356[/ATTACH]

I guess scratch build is the only option! Also found this its a german electric crane for harbours ! [ATTACH]311357[/ATTACH]

The only ones I found online were thousands of $. Langely Miniatures in UK ? may be of some help in 1/48, as they do a lot of nautical. PaulE

Good evening everybody I have an idea so I have been searching all day about the cranes so i took your advice Paul and looking at smaller scales but big structures! So I found this .. the distance seems ok for the rails! I will not use the crane just the base structure and on top i will put the cmk crane which is the correct size 1/35 so I think I give it a go it might work the kit is £10 so if dosent work I don’t loose to much! Like to thank you for all of you for your assistance and help best regards Danny [ATTACH]311411[/ATTACH][ATTACH]311412[/ATTACH]

Ah and Jon and Gary thanks for the help with the figures I like them but its not cheap £19 for a figure its a little bit painful I guess! Will see maybe slowly one by one! Cheers Danny
