1:50 Dragline

[Rvjimd]

MM,

One more question/comment...

I have seen some 1:1 stuff operated as you describe and they really get that bucket swinging! Espically if they are dredging. Is the counterweight matched to the anticipated load, or force involved when they cast the bucket?

I will never be able to get that sort of moves out of my little model just due to the lack of momentum. I don't even think I could get that "look" if I used some slow motion tricks with the video.

Thanks again. I enjoy learning more about all this stuff.

Jim
