Tom,

Thanks, I have a bunch of work left to go. I can't cut threads, I think I have the drums set up square enough that the ropes wrap pretty good.

I think the scale is 1/18th.

I'm turning two pulleys for the boom tip and then I'm going to rig it up with my homemade clamshell bucket. You might know my style, I love to get it to a point that it runs, then play with it, I mean TEST it, and then do the finish work.

I am planning to try the fairlead and see how it looks.

Jim
