catkom3 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi Mathew,There is a dedicated manlift in 1/32nd scale,But they will be rare as hen's teeth and expensive if you do find one,Doubt you'll get one in the UK,Here is a video review of one, http://www.cranesetc.co.uk/library/nzgreviews/956/956review.htm And one I found for sale in Germany, https://www.modell-ovp.de/en/genie-z60-37fe-telescopic-boom-lift-10103.html Regards Joe.

Barry Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I worked backwards, found out what was available, then worked out how to make the items from there....... Lime wood Is lime wood better than balsa wood..........i've no idea, i've never used balsa wood.........i chose lime wood because I had an order for something else with the people I got the lime wood strips from, thought I'd give it a go!!!!!

Tractorman810 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I use lime wood , usually off ebay, or bass wood which i get from hobby craft usually As i can size it to eye then for what i am making, so on the granary build the frames all bass wood, floors and doors will be lime wood and the cladding will be balsa as i can cut that to a rough plank finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
