Building the ATLAS 5-Ton Hydraulic Deck Crane

I have finished with this model. The person who I was building this for did not want me to apply the "Atlas" decals. After I finished with the hydraulic hoses I inspected the crane and touched up any small areas. Here are some pictures of the finished crane. The pliers in the picture keep the crane from "tipping". The crane is boom heavy.

I did not add the railings. The fellow modeler will add these when he gets the crane.

I wrapped the crane in packing and boxed it up. I used lots of packing, we all know what the post office can do! blink.gif I hope it's new owner enjoys it. Sad to see it go. sad.gif


If you would like to build this kit, you can get it from http://www.harbormodels.com/. This is almost the same kit as what Model Slipway offers. http://www.harbormodels.com/ gets the bulk of the kit from Model Slipway (except the printed styrene sheet) and adds their own laser cut styrene sheet! This makes the kit much easier to build. Plus it save time during the construction process. wink.gif
