This model is based on the beautifully reclaimed and reconstructed quarry crane that can be seen in Ballater. The Ballater Local History Group, who did the renovation is thanked for their help with this model.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"\u003eThis bespoke 1 x A6 laser cut 3mm plywood sheet (1x0.8mm) model has been designed in 1\/76 scale to represent a commonly used crane in goods yards, quarries and industry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe building requires glue. Choose a glue that allows at least a minute before setting to allow adjustments to be made during the build. Always test the build before using glue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e(The kit is assembled in wood. The modeller can alternatively use 1mm brass rod for the various axles and crank handles – this is NOT supplied with this kit. The kit does NOT include “ropes” and “chains” – which must be procured separately.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor finishing, we recommend first priming the surface, then painting with any acrylic or model paint of your choice. The material is etched, so any engraved detail such as brickwork or roof tiles will be visible after painting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImportant information about railway scaling: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll kits are designed in OO Gauge on 3mm plywood, so there are a few considerations to be made when scaling the digital files to other Gauges. The instructions provided will be the OO version as the build order is the same at different scales.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eO Gauge Orders:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e When scaling to O gauge, there are manual modifications that may need to be made when assembling the kit. This is due to the thickness of the plywood when scaling the kit from the OO gauge material of 3mm to the O gauge 5.25mm material that would be needed. As this thickness of ply does not exist, we undersize the material to the closest thickness we have of 4mm plywood and recommend dry fitting the build first so that any joints that need to be sanded for a flush finish can be noted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eN Gauge Orders:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Scaling to N gauge works well and has no extra modifications needed due to material thickness. Some parts will be very fine, so take care when removing them from the frame. If some window pieces are particularly fine, they can be reinforced by soaking them in glue before assembly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTT Gauge Orders:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScaling to TT requires slightly more modifications of the designs before cutting, so please contact us if you’re interested in a kit, and we can provide you a quote at \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:info@popupdesigns.co.uk\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003einfo@popupdesigns.co.uk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAny other questions, tips or enquiries please don’t hesitate to contact us via our email address or contact form. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis kit is designed by Iain Ross and sold by PopUp Designs with his permission.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"popupdesigns.co.uk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55679215534465,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/2533\/9946\/files\/Picture1_ac4b9c15-fa56-4242-bf71-1919a0f571c9.png?v=1778839065","url":"https:\/\/popupdesigns.co.uk\/products\/derrick-crane","provider":"popupdesigns.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
