Matra crane animation

I finally have completed my Matra crane project, with the exception of weathering and some painting.

Very cool build. Lots of places one could go with that as a base idea. Very nicely done.

Neat… great work…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Very nice! You might consider adding one more reduction gear to the rotation. It would give you better control. Those little motors are perfect for this kind of application.

That 1/22.5 car makes into a good two-truck version, as well.

On my bucket list is a mcgriffith log loader and this gives me inspiration to attempt an animated version. But that’s down the road. I could see a working steam donkey using this idea.

I have plans to do a sawmill, down the road. These little gear motors are great for this kind of modeling.

yeah Dan I can see al sorts of animation possibilities
