came across this the other day. all scratch built out of wood! this thing is amazing. i would be tempted to buy it if he was to sell it
heres a link to his website,
1/24 scale 31000The idea for a Manitowoc 31000 1:24 ET came from a challenge on a blog ... Challenge a little crazy, started the second half of 2012, and already well!
Here are some figures to present the project:
Dimensions of the finished model:
Floor dimensions: 80 cm x 90 cm
Dimensions against the ground with weight-deployed: 80 cm x 160 cm
Against height-arrow: 180 cm
Height of main boom: 3 to 6 meters, possibility up to 8 meters!
Weight complete: about 50 Kg
Engine:
The model is equipped with 5 winches
8 gearmotors are implanted into the model to make it work
250 meters of nylon cable are required to equip five winches
Number of rooms:
In the end, it will have approximately 5000 pieces (already in 1100 for four crawlers)
To date, 900 hours of work already past its realization!
Starting date: 1 September 2012
Estimated end date: end of 2013
To date, 2,000 euros supplies
Like the original, the model is removable so you can carry it. It will take about 1/2 day for up completely.
Arrows and removable against-weight allow to present in exhibitions or fairs
I chose the wood against the metal as in the chassis there are large sections and the wood is easy to work
Moreover, we can stick, and it's not very expensive!
The rooms are large ash or oak, small boxwood because it is a very hard wood, where you can even make threads.
Once painted, wooden parts are easily illusion of their material!
