after another long break some little progress on this one. Allthough the building part of the following step wasn´t that much, the mechanical aspect was quite a task for me

After the building of the second telescope boom i started to build the ladder basket. The difficult part was to create the basket moveable in the correct maner

Despite tons of photographs of the FDNY tiller ladders, finding some useable closeups or detail shots of the basket, was a different story

And having the technical drawings of these trucks wasn´t of any help either, since the details of the basket mechanism where not shown

So i´ve spend the last few months after my last post (in the old forum) with the good old "error and trial" method

Anyway that´s where i´m so far, hope you still like it
