Day 2: Cranes

So according to the instructions the first job is to assemble the cranes, it looks like the Titanic had 8 of them.


The cranes are built using 2 plastic parts for the base, plus metal photo etched parts for the boom and detail. I'll assemble the base and boom before painting and adding further detail which consists of a ladder, door and hand railing.

The crane boom at the top of the photo is plastic, this will be replaced by the photo etched metal part at the bottom. The metal part looks more detailed and will help create a better looking model.  Can you spot the crane pulley wheel? Tiny! 

Some of the cranes constructed. Crane base and booms attached.  When all 8 are done I'll paint them before adding extra parts (ladders, railings and doors).
