Famo-1 ?

1/87 Trident Famo w/rear spade. All the resin stuff is trimmed & ready. I'm trying to figure out how to arrange the cable to make the spade movable.

Oh Paul all those little bits and resin how much Meds are you on anyway lol. I’m in watching in pain as you make this come alive.

Photos for reference only. As can be seen, there was a variety of solutions.

 

[minitnkr]

Decided on a mix of the two.

Hope this works out for you......I'm still ignoring the rigging on my shovel build

Hi Paul brilliant stuff love it but as always viva la small stuff, I know where your coming from with the cables ,I've got kits of a scammel?type break down truck and the king Kong artillery piece ,obviously the truck has the cable's for the crane and the Kong thing has a ramp/or spade thig on the back ,both include the twine/string/cotton?in the kit but nothing very precise what to do with it ,as Ron would say its his kit and he'll do what he wants im the same but if it's not done correctly you've ruined it all on your own, the NKIA's will be very quick to point out your mistake ,I'll get the bill bus pidgeon thing done and perhaps have a look in the stash for one of them next. Dave
NKIA's any takers on this one.
Clue.....knowledgeable people with a common elephants name.

Some progress made after post holiday distractions. Grab irons & dashboard done & base paint applied.

 

[minitnkr]

More progress. Paint sure shows up the boo-boos.

 

[Mini Me]

Boo-boos or not it's gonna make a fine addition to your collection!

 

[Jim R]

Brilliant. I don't know how you see those tiny parts let alone glue them in place.

 

[minitnkr]

Almost done.

Wow Paul, great little, microscopic Famo you have assembled there! Lotsa CITB and the crew on the move. A question, if I may...Do you have the blade for the recovery spade for it??? Or are you going to scratch one for it??? Hope all is well in downtown Ohio and keep up the great work Buddy!!!

Prost
