7mm Gladiator Models Hand Crane

[Ian G]

After loosing a part on my crocodile, I found a suitable width of brass on my hand crane kit I bought at reading a few months ago, both wagons are built and primed, crane body part built and jib rounded at the ends.
The buffers where cast and had to be drilled out, so they have been replaced with Parkside Dundas southern brake van buffers.
I need to find a suitable jib runner, and looking for a suitable southern wagon or 4/6 wheel coach chassis for it, something longer than a 10 foot wheel base.

Ian, looking like an interesting project.

It is a Meteor Modles kit not Gladiator.

All the main parts in primer, the jib has been masked as this will be stained dark oak along with the planking, overall finish will be weathered black.

I managed to spray the black this weekend due to the far to hot weather.

The story so far, crane is built now needs a spot of weathering to finish.
