These first pictures show the CHAR b tank that I scratchbuilt in the 1980s.
|
I was crazy back then and built the whole thing from scratch.
|
|
|
I never painted it and have
now found a good use for it as the base to the quarry crane.
|
Here I am starting to gather the components. The deck of an HLW flat car and a wheel from
Butch's collection.

|
The boom is made from styrene structural pieces out of Bob Judge's scrap box.

Here I have the main pieces spread out. The motor I made by cutting up the razor
blade container that comes with my razor blade refills.
|
The completed crane. All that is missing is the piece of granite to be lifted. In
the previous shot you can see the roof made from the metal of a soda can, crimped with a crimper from
A.C. Moore.
