René van Kessel sent us these pictures of his latest work, a Bucyrus-Erie 15 B dragline. The cab is a resin Sheepscot Scale Products item which he got from a friend who nowadays builds in 1/50 so no longer had use for it. The boom is also Sheepscot; it was meant to be the jib of a boom for a large crane but René used it for his little dragline. He used some Kibri parts to complete it. The undercarriage on the other hand is totally scratchbuilt.
