derek Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 The ol crane is pretty c****py now that I see it close up. It was a real rush job, and boy doesn't it look it? I am happy enough with the black parts (arm, cable and grab) but the cab and base are heading for the bin. The design came straight out of my head, so if any of you could provide me with pics of something more true to life, I would be eternally grateful.

This kind of thing was popular in my day and they generally looked a bit rough. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
