Lost Cosmonauts 5,373 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 After a pleasant chat in the LMS (or it was till it closed down) I got to making a dockside crane for use in 1/35 dioramas. The instigator of the scheme has sent me some pics of the results. The kit Assembled but unpainted And after he has painted and detailed Well pleased with how that came out 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've thought about buying the Dapol OO/HO kit even though I don't have a train set! lol I did do one printed off at OO scale for my Father in Law to add to his train set-up. Hopefully post-pandemic I’ll get to see it in-situ. I did get given the Dapol kit but haven’t built it yet. Looks really neat - I’ve held off doing it in case it makes me nitpick over mine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lost Cosmonauts 5,373 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Some neat progress as a friend who built it up has included in a brilliant E-boat dockside diorama. His work always has loads of life and activity. As soon as I get the workshop going he wants another and I’m keen to see what he does with it Also a really nice alert over on the book of face that a substantial 3D modelling group has adopted the crane as their cover photo 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll see if I can find where he has posted the full pictures as it is a work of art. He had a model shop in Newcastle and used dioramas to show the kits off to great effect. Does amazing work 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Simon Hi Simon, I’m not quite up and running yet - as the good Mr @Gorby says I recently moved house and the move and renovations have taken longer than planned so my tools and printers are still in storage. If you don’t mind waiting a month or so to get one just fire me a message with your email address and I’ll give you my details. Cheers, Alistair Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve intervened when construction at a work site was lifting both an oxygen and an acetylene cylinder lashed together like that to roof height to do some work but as it was someone else’s diorama I went with the “Not my circus, not my monkey” approach Edited June 25, 2021 by Lost Cosmonauts 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James 1 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Thanks - yes it would be great if you could let me know when it’s available on your website Quote Link to post Share on other sites
