Fries Gantry crane

Post by Paul Morris »

Hi fellas.

Does anyone know where you can get hold of a decent set of drawings for the fries gantry crane? or does anyone have by chance the "Des" model of the same in 1/35 scale that they may wish to part with?
Fingers crossed Paul :wink:

Hi Paul

If you can get hold of him, Vince Abbott is the man to speak to. He made a 1/6th scale model some years ago. Have a look at http://vincesgallery.smugmug.com/Hobbie ... 3442_s6f4i

Hope this helps

Hi Paul,

This might be just what you're looking for:

It's new out so no free download yet. I hope this is going to be on your build list as it will make great dioramas.

Thanks Ant

Hi Paul,

Is this what you're looking for as I've just downloaded Panther Vol 8 by Trojca and it had the Fries Bockkran 16t Crane plans in it;

If it is I can send you them all as jpeg's,
