Thank you, Soeren
I have worked on part to hang the extended pipe, I had to split the pin and glue its part on the top of the hanger, because of making the mould by easier way. I have also finished the clips to connect the tension ropes. Masterclub´s 0,7mm rivets used and 0,4mm holes drilled to stick in a wire for the rope.

Finally, there are the last parts. Now I have to wait for Aber´s PE letters and Plastruct hexagone road to finish lettering on the crane head and nut heads on the base. In between I am gonna start a couple of coal boxes and mounting lug for loading.





Thanks for looking

Thank you all for the nice comments, I am very happy that any motivation or inspiration can be found in my work here.
Now, the main job is finished, nails will be added as well. That guy seems to fit all right, but he will get another head. And two hands, of course, but I am still thinking about their position




Cheers

Thank you, Andrzej, lets say this is just a prep for something bigger and more exciting coming up next year

The thing is painted, just some rust around the nails and on the bold to be added, and maybe some paper I suppose....



Thanks for looking

I keep working with paints today, I have started the tracks, the ties got yellow base coat, now they are painted in brown, and next is much darker shadow of brown. Then I will try a few ways to get various shadows and realistic appearance of the wood. The coal boxes in paint as well, ready for some rust and finishing.





Because I use a lot of rust on my rail kits and accesories, I use funny way to get some nice and real rust, which is very handy for finishing. Basically I wet many times tiny, hair pot scrub, which gets rusty very quickly, and the I collect the rust on the side. Finally I rub it to powder and use with varnish or another suitable fixer.



Cheers

If you want the steel wool pot scrubber to rust faster leave it soaking in white vinegar.
