Clamshell bucket
Reading the post about the barge mounted clamshell (http://rctruckandconstruction.com/showthread.php?t=992) I got inspired and found the clamshell bucket I built for my Manitowoc.
It is based on a 6 yard model and is in scale 1/25. It is more than 25 years ago when i built it. kerst |

Re: Clamshell bucket
That is very nice work! Is it soldered together? Aluminum solder? I used to have a old brass patent or salesman sample of a clamshell but sold it to a collector for big $$.

Was a great project to do in between. When I once have time I am going to make an orange peel clamshell bucket. Kerst |

Re: Clamshell bucket
Very nice work on the clam, It's awesome! One of these years I need to make a heavier metal dragline bucket for my Doepke crane.

Re: Clamshell bucket
Long ago I was planning on building a 4600 dragline 1/16'' scale but later decided to build my 9W. Mainly because I didn't feel like fooling around making tracks.

Re: Clamshell bucket
WOW, I love those cranes. A 4100 is near the top of my must have list. I am assuming that you built the two crawlers also? If you have any more pictures I would love to see them. Very, very nice work.

Re: Clamshell bucket
Those crane are fabulous! I love the friction setup on the 4600. Been dreaming about doing something like that, but it's a long ways off. Is the whole machine mechanically driven? I poked around your other photo albums, too. Neat stuff.
