HO scale large dragline bucket load....scratch build....Photos uploaded
Hello all,
I started one of my latest scratch builds yesterday. A completely scratch build of a Marion shovel company dragline bucket load for my Walthers heavy duty flat car. The bucket itself is built out of styrene and old parts.
The only thing left to finish is the hoist/drag rigging chains and paint. I haven't decided on what color to paint this bucket. Marion shovel company paint their buckets cream,black and burgandy. I'll paint mine primer for now and paint the rest later.
The bucket is friggin huge compared to the walthers HDF. I have HO scale chains..... I'll have to scratch build the rigging & load blocks to secure the load. Should be a high and wide load coming out of DRSC shops soon.
I'll post photos ,when I get the load all done.
