Hello all
You may believe it or not - I finally managed to finish work on my newest
webpage update. After more than a year, ‘Engineering with ABS’ features new MOCs
and new building hints.
So, what’s new in detail?
The first MOC I am proud to announce is a 1 / 28 scale model of the famous
Mountaineer, a stripping shovel built by the Marion Power Shovel Company in
1956. http://www.fhso.ch/~felber-b/mountain.htm This model is fully
functional: working hoist and crowd mechanism, swing drive, bottom dump bucket
and an elevator for the crew, passing the turntable. Read the full story under
the above mentioned link.
The second MOC is a Caterpillar D8 with Cable Operated Blade. It’s in the same
scale as the Mountaineer and was built to show the huge dimensions of stripping
shovels in reality. http://www.fhso.ch/~felber-b/catd8.htm
In the Building Hints section I added a page about sliding doors. This because I
developed a new construction first used on the Mountaineer.
http://www.fhso.ch/~felber-b/sdoors.htm
Finally, I slightly changed the overall layout of my homepage to increase
readability. Hope you like it.
So have a look at http://www.fhso.ch/~felber-b and let me know what you
think...
Greetings from Switzerland
