Lou , that guys a joke he puts pics of the whole pub. on the bay , anyone could just copy it . I down loaded it for nothing right off the i - net .

Papy , I thought it might be there too , who do you go by on there ? I haven' t been on in awhile . As I get further along I'll have to post this over there .

Steve, you are right about this !
All this business on the bay around these old brochures or specs sheets is simply crazy: 4 pages leaflets "offered" for 20, 30, 50$ or even more .....and if you read the small lines all down the description, you finally see it's not an original document but a simple copy !!!!

Now, back to the real things : I like the way your model turns, and I am amazed how fast you work.....I started an LRSVW one year ago and I haven't done more than you by the time !!!!

Will you use real hydraulics for the hoist or will you manage a mechanical system ?

Do you have drawings or other info about the LRSVW?
I think that is an amazing truck.

I got virtually no documents about the LRVSW.....photos and some infos from the net. Made drawings by myself

I wouldn't want to go off-topic too much here, so PM me if you want the links to what I found

[ihbuilder]

Papy , you can put the links here , I'm actually interested in them to I like to keep as real as I can hydraulics

[Papy]

OK. Here we go

some pictures + 2 pdf files with dimensions and various infos

3 artist drawings from original ads

winter 2007 issue of the bulldog magazine : read article from page 18 (you can probably goooogle the american version with imperial measurements....)

2 pictures

an article with some pictures

1/50 model

From all this, I could make my own scale drawings. They are probably not 100% accurate, but I think I captured the look of the truck not so bad. I may try to upload them here, but:
- they were only intended to give me some indications for the building, so they are not "industrial" drawings
- I still have to figure out how to convert them to a format that can be seen by everybody (made them on AutoCAD)
- all dimensions are in millimeters and the scale is not 1/14.5 but 1/14.285714.....


Ooops ! I forgot 2 things :
- thank you for the invitation in your topic
- good choice for the hydraulics will you use existing products or make them yourself ?
