Best wishes too you Giles, sorry about your brother. Your work is a great inspiration to many of us and I'm looking forward to this little project progressing.
Cheers

I’ve just caught up on your thread Giles and am very sorry to hear of your loss. I do hope your modelling will provide some solace.

Bless you all!

The Chassis works!

Rather than a hook, can you put a clamshell bucket on it?

 

[Giles]

I could (I made a 7mm clamshell), but I would either need another winch to operate it, or a fixed line to operate it (open it). It would be fun, but not on this one!

Save that idea for when you do the 2mm/1ft version!
