    1/16 LARGE MOBILE GENERATOR.

    I wanted a large mobile generator to go with my 1/16 gantry crane.

    So, to the spares and bits box. Ended up using old speaker boxes from RC tanks for the main body, with lots of fiddly nuts and bolts, a old jeep chassis and various scratch made plasticard bits.

    It looks okay from a distance and just adds to the crane set up.

    Just to add, I have gone back into the workshed, now it is...slightly cooler...and added another weathering finish coat to it, no pics though.

                    Thank you Steve, I have, as I tend to do with my models, gone back and added a few bits. :smiling: Changed the control board, added a vent to the top of the main generator housing, added a bump guard to the front, a handrail and some small extra detailing bits.
