McGiffert log loader (N Scale)

[Cody]

Thank you very much gentlemen.

I added trucks underneath (this is how they would look when retracted), a figure, and started on the stay cables. Paint is drying on the roof and side panels that I'll add next.

[Cody]

Done.


This picture shows the stay cables (28 gauge wire) connecting through small holes drilled in the roof. They're glued into small holes drilled in the top of the vertical boom (I have no idea what the right terms are, hopefully that's descriptive enough) and then glued near the back of the machine.


Once that was done, I glued on the side panels and a ladder. It has a basic layer of weathering with pan pastels as well as the rust on the roof. I may go back and weather more later, we'll see.

That’s awesome, Cody!

Great job Cody. That looks fabulous. Just so you know the technical term for the top of the vertical boom is Thing-a-ma-jigger.

[Cody]

Thank you Gentlemen, I appreciate it. Warren, Thing-a-ma-jigger, got it, I'll write that down
