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

Hi Eddy

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

Stuart

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.  

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

cheers

I'd reckon it's about 13 feet from the deck to the tip of the jib Stuart....

What height would the scale version have to be ?

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

How about I do one in 'Odds and Ends'?

Stuart

That would certainly be useful Stuart, thankyou...

Eddy

And post it to you afterwards?

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

Seriously, it would be greatly appreciated...
