Ay carramba!
Very nice refinery; it's one of the most detailed on-going construction project in 1:50 scale I've seen. Now you'll need to add some tracks and locos + tanks cars in O scale....

Thanks stephane. I was planning on adding some tracks but never got to do so. Maybe next big project. Now the assembly of the todano crane.     Now is ready for heavy lifts.

And the lift is 95 tons.  Freely suspended ready for its final position.  After 1:30 minutes its there. And the vessel was tested before setting it in.  That was a nice lift. Here is a pic of the block as requested. i did customized for this project.

Luis,
I just watched the slo-mo video and it is nicely done. But I do have one question - why have you used the drum on the main boom for the main hook? Normally those two drums are used for the luffing jib and/or the whip line.
Thanks,
Paul R

Paul R Paul the reason i used that winch is because is way much easier to use to make the video. I know that those are for the luffer and wip line.hope to not confuse nobody.
