So what is next
On this page I will show you the new targets for the future
Updated section
One of the things I always wanted with this crane is an orange peel grab or a dredging grab.
Well the dredging grab is done ( scroll down for the pictures ) so now i am working on the orange peel grab.
And it will be something like the one below.
The drawing work is done and this is the digital version.
In the mean while I start working on the real thing as well.
It's only a start and a lot has to be done , but it's something.
Tagline winder is done and it works perfect for both grabs.
This is the finished grab.
Here is a small movie.
Having a real good time testing and playing with the unfinished dredging grab in my small workshop.
Will update this some day with a movie of the finished grab
Movie size 2 Mb just click the picture.
Please let me know what you think of it by using the email button in the left menu thanks.
The next thing will be a bit bigger job.
I am gone rebuild the control for 3 reasons and this one was intended for temporary use only.
First of all I would like to have more lever style controls instead of the small switches.
Second reason is that the transformer inside the control is a bit to light.
This sometimes is a problem when using more functions at the same time.
And the third reason is that I want to make a 12 volt supply on the control.
So that the model can be taken outside and I finally can do some serious digging somewhere in the mud.
Another thing that I will try is to get some more info on the guy derrick configuration.
And see if I can work this out in drawings for producing it.
It will be real difficult because I don't have much info so far.
And it will be the first parts that I can't see with my own eyes.
But we will see how it works out.
So if anyone have some photos or other kind of info it will be a great help.
Thanks in advance.
So these are the plans see how it works out and come back if you like for the updates.
