I gave that some thought but I don't know how to do weathering other than how it looked prior to this rebuild. I know of a guy on the DHS Diecast site that weathers his crane models and they are superb.

Here is an example of a heavily weathered relic



Here is my machine the day the scrappers started cutting her up.
I originally wanted to make the house the light green with black boom ect. But now I'll be painting it Grey with the dark Green boom ect.







Here is the paint scheme I will be doing on the interior. Green machinery grey I beams.

Had to order another 2000 0-80 socket head caps screws.



A frame going back together. This part still needs several angle braces added. That will come later when time permits.



Walking shaft




Machinery frame


Shoes have paint


Parts



Assembly begins




After about 16 hours got some more assembled. Not painting any brass parts yet. There is not enough time to get these parts done either


Boom attached just had one heck of a time getting the suspension cables untangled.
