What's on the bench 2022

[scottie3158]

I'm finally getting around to doing this Quickway Shovel.........it's a conglomeration of three different models, no destructions, no blueprints, just a couple of wikipedia pics and some "Stolen" downloaded shots of the one built by my good natured buddy Paul E. in Ohio. This was back in the Pre Scale Models days round about 2016. The nice thing about letting someone else go first on something like this, is one gets the chance to stand back and study the techniques used and also some of the "bits and bobs" that they throw at it to make it Nice. Here are a coupla shots with it just piece parted together.........sort of to get an idea of what I need to do (plenty)!![ATTACH=CONFIG]n1178166[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1178167[/ATTACH]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this mate. would the truck have out riggers or would the weight of the winch gear in the crane body balance it out when working over the side.

Hi Scottie......the original pics I have don't show any outriggers so, assume they weren't so equipped. They do however, have a very low CG so tippy might not be too bad. If anyone out there has information re these shovels and cranes let me know if I'm fixing to mess up. Think I'll start a build thread on this....it could get rather involved. :thumb2:

So,still on the bench is the tamiya m26 recovery, slow but steady progress,ready for decals, started weathering the winch and other bits,the gas bottle regulators will be removed from the bottles when I done painting them,attached to the hoses and wrapped loose over the painted bottles. Then I will have to make a start on the sherman that'll be dragged behind it.

Finally decided to finish up the commission build of the OHP and Knox frigates or destroyers... PE and pin wash all done up only waiting for rigging.


Cheers,

Been chugging away with this 1:12 scale bust. Getting the dress looking like satin is going to take some serious glazing - and some head-scratching as to where to place the highlights.
