So it's been a bit since I've had a chance to sit down and work on this. I did a bit today so here's a progress report.

Well last time I wasn't aware of what the meaning N/B/W was but glad  trolleydrvr was able to help me out. So here's some pics of that detail installed.

This image shows the two sides of the crane boom assy.

So today I assembled the hoist assembly. Quite few small pieces but wasn't too bad. I attached the rope to the spool before installing it. I installed all the pieces on one side first, then fit the other into place.

Another angle.

And the last image to give you an idea of how big the hoist is. Standby for more updates in the future...
