Looks good.  Someone showed me (can't remember who - Wayne?) a method for
attaching pneumatic cylinders back to back like that, so that the cylinder
bodies are rigid.  You wouldn't need that pivoting standoff, so it might
run/look a bit cleaner.

Actually, it serves another purpose, when the whole thing comes down, the
cylinders sink away inbetween the frame and the standoff then keeps it up
and away from other moving parts right below it. The stand off moves forward
and pulls the cylinders up. It is a very tight fit below there.

And it is not a mobile crane...

One thing I forgot to mention is that most of what you see will probably be
rebuilt when I get the correct colours and if things need to be modified to
fit future components. I`m not building from the bround up at all, that
frame is just the right length, not the right stucture, everything else is
made to fit that scale.

I am going to need a lot of yellow liftarms, and possibly a micromotor, not
sure where to get those yet...

(...) Hmmm. Paris Gun? Or maybe a Gerald Bull knockoff? Er, maybe a rice/block separator? I don't think it's a pipe racer. No, I still think it looks like a mobile crane. Jeff E (22 years ago, 8-May-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
