Built "Tilly" the aircraft crane tonight and got installed on the deck. That was not fun.

Tiny Tilly's tiny.
Great attention to detail, Mike!

Thanks!

Man...…..this is intense.

Fantastic work!!!!!

Thanks Mustang! I'll be getting back to work on it tomorrow.

Adding more little details. Also fixed a ladder on the side (where the exacto knife is pointing). It was up above the flight deck and not where it should be. Used super glue and some accelerator to fix it.

After adding the crane, I didn't like how high it sat. I checked some references and noticed that the crane is usually stashed down. So a couple of cuts and I moved it down. Unfortunately it's out of scale being to big but it's better than it was and I can live with it.

Don’t forget to adjust the angle of the hanging crane hooks and replace the cable to the boom.

I hadn't forgotten. Just hadn't done it yet.

Crane is done. Lost one of the hooks when it pinged out of the tweezers and out into the air. Oh well. I used EZ Line for the cable.
