I found this photo today showing one of Waverley's davits....its one of the newer ones she got during rebuild...looks like it could be a hydraulic set up going by the hoses etc - maybe someone with some engineering knowledge could confirm   ???

I managed to get the following photo of the crane used on SWW today.... Does anyone know of a suitable crane in 1:32 scale that is commercially available?

I'm running out of time to make everything myself :(

Regards
Eddy

Hi Eddy

how tall do you reckon the crane is? - about 15 feet from deck to tip of the jib?

Hi Eddy.

Your right about the time taken to make these cranes. Here's mine on the Waverley. Sorry I didn't make a few spare now.  :whistle

Let's have a crane making competition and the best one goes on your model    :no1b

cheers

I don't have a calculator to hand Ken, but I reckon around 4.75" (120mm) would be about right...

That would be fantastic!! After all, the Connaught won't have anything that modern on it, so it would be a shame for it to go to waste :hehe

Seriously, it would be greatly appreciated...
