A buoy?  Or a robot cuttlefish?
;D
;D Yeah, you got that right zenrat
I aim to use the double image later on.

The Buoy Tender needs a huge crane to replace these 5+ metre buoys.
Used scrap wood and nails to build this hydraulic crane.

Nice work there, in fact exceptional!  :thumbsup:

As a hydraulics engineer I found myself being overly critical about the hose runs, cylinder and piston sizes and connections, and then had to remind myself that it's a model.  ;D ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thank you Kit for the great compliment.

Will die without understanding this world.

Looking at the shade of yellow paint on the derrick it was obviously built by Caterpillar.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Highway Yellow they call it. Had to make my own mix. Yes it is from CAT, and most of the road traffic control signage use it too.

So much for the boat.

I'll give landscaping a go. Decided to use condensed insulation foam board.



Used water based wood putty and 50-50 (PVA-water) mix as a sealer.
