Menck M90 german rope excavator 1:16

[Seilbagger]

Hello all,

some pics of building the model:

the tracks:

I used the "Universalkette" bought by Conrad, cut them in the middle and soldered nuts. Stripes of polystyrol put them to the scale width.

























the frame:

all made in aluminum. The slewing ring is from Leimbach, drive with little chaines between motors and the tracks.










cab:

drive for the winches also with little chaines.
