shark64 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 I had to remake the door since I made a mistake in the way it opens and detailed the inside outside...ooops. Still need to add the glass to the cabin, I need to paint the inside first before I add the wall. I am not crazy about the control sticks so may redo that as well. I also added a sliding window on the door and the back little window(not in the picture). 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Oliver Your devotion to miniaturizing the real McCoy is beyond comprehension. I truly believe this is the craftsmanship museums would do backflips over and request for display. Incredible work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Working on the crane till I receive the AK paint from Spain so I can finish the cabin interior. The cabin and the hydraulic fluid tank will be attached to the crane frame. I need to build the support rig for the engine so I can work on the right angle of the crane mast. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Oliver Incredible work - just amazing. I wish I could understand how you look at photographs and then visualize how to recreate then in scale. No question, it's a very special gift. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark64 Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 Thanks Pete. I am changing the platform, the cabin is too high and it looks silly. ....Just a minor hick up. Will post soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Oliver Nice decision on replacing the crane floor - the diamond plate looks great. Perfectly executed. Congrats on sale to AK for adding photographs to their upcoming book - surely, they will be the star of the show. Also very interested in your opinion on how the new AK acrylics shoot and work - please let us know with a short tutorial. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 The cabin and the oil tank are finally off the platform(not glued yet). It's time to install the hydraulics cylinders. Thanks to the potential Writers strike in Hollywood , all shows in Hollywood have come to a stop so plenty of time for modeling... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
