Hi there, this is sort of related to the build ? with a few of my builds being on the semi large and heavy side ( well they seem to be getting heavier every time I go to move one of them ??), so with using the trolley I made a few yrs ago, it takes 2 people to lift the model and trolly together in and out of the car, other wise a slow process of placing them in one at a time, and you can't expect people to help lift your heavy gear all the time, so decided to make up a collapsible ramp ( preferably one that doesn't collapse while using
) worked out cheaper to make the bulk of it from Tassy oak instead of the easy way of buying Alloy ramps (plus they are bulkier), Like most of these jobs it takes longer to work out how to go about it than to actually knock it up, so just using 4 small s.s bolts with wing nuts welded on their heads, they bolt the centre frame into the nuts that are slotted into the side of the main ramps. But but but I did have a flaw in its design, I didn't make the centre track long enough, it was okay when linning up the trolly and lifting its nose up onto the centre runner ,but got caught twice when lowering it back down the ramp forgetting to hold the front it would dropped hard onto the ground , so had to scarf a longer runner base in and sides (as in photo) , also another improvement was taking the fixed ply base on the trolley off and replacing with a base with brass and copper rollers , so now all I have to do is sit the models nose just on the base and she rolls forward easy as , no loss of paint on her keel...Cheers
