1:32 FDNY Seagrave Towerladder in progress
Re: 1:32 FDNY Seagrave Towerladder in progress
Then i created the support/mounting brakets for the pipes, out of rectangular polysterol tubes (clear and white).
For an instance they´re all just taped in place and will be glued onto the telescope boom at the very end of the build.
This way i have have room, when all the further details will be placed or if have to adjust the position later on

Re: 1:32 FDNY Seagrave Towerladder in progress
To finish this update, a picture with the whole system, roughly in place.
I further have started to build the ladder system as well and it will follow with another post

Re: 1:32 FDNY Seagrave Towerladder in progress
So another quick update; the ladder system
For the ladders i used the 1/32 scale styrene ladder from plastruct (item Nr. 90674). The package holds 2 very long pieces, which were cut in half to have the four ladders needed.
But since the top ladder needed to be wider than the telescope boom, i had to create the top one myself , one ladder remained as it was and the other two had to be narrowed.
At first i thought by just laying on top of each other, the ladders would expand and retract properly, once attached to the related boom parts; wrong
So in order to function properly i had to add "L" profiles to the ladder underside and strip styrene on top to create a guide rail for each ladder.
