Managed to get about 4 or 5 from depot in Middlesbro a few years ago. I've produced my own CAD drawings from these and loads of photos and measurements I took while at the depot. I'm hoping to go back up to depot soon to see if I can get some more drawings. Going to need a bigger modelling table when I start on jib sections !!!

Another small update. Worked on stabiliser pads and a-frame above superstructure. ![](http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL459/4928377/12822518/369668229.jpg) ![](http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL459/4928377/12822518/369668228.jpg) ![](http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL459/4928377/12822518/369668223.jpg) Got to machine up brackets to fix a-frame to main body.

Fantastic work! Is this all done on a Unimat?
If you want one like Dingo's, they are on sale in the 'Entertainer' in Birmingham for a tenner ;D

Fantastic work! Is this all done on a Unimat? They were done using a Warco mini lathe and Cobra Mill. Found Unimat hasn't the power, its only a 12volt motor.
