what kind of materials are mainly in use here? Looks awesome
R/C rig I built. 8x8x8 on the carrier and a 3ch. 4ch on the mast. Rough 1/10 scale 50" mast and 4' carrier.
We are trying to attract anyone who is into "Hobby Model Engineering" of anything to do with the oilfield. It doesn't matter what sector of the oilfield you are in, if you build models, come join us in this Group.

Update (July 15)
Hey Guys,
There is a video & close ups of the National 370 Drawworks on here now that I was yappin' about earlier. This is the 1st rig I built where I attempted to put scale into my work. It is the one that was a complete layout from front to back and side to side. It took 5 years (off & on) to complete. The drawworks itself was a 4 month project. It made its Maiden Appearance in the 1990 Energy Show in Estevan Sask, Canada & a few other appearances over the years. In about 1994, I… Continue

1/16 th Scale: Model Drilling Rigs
I am a Rig Manager/ToolPusher for Totem Drilling in S.E. Sask for the past 3 years, prior to that I worked for Big Sky Drilling for 19 1/2 years, pushing Rig 4 for almost 10 of those years. I build working, 1/16 scale drilling rigs as a hobby. I spend 100's of hours of my spare time replicating prototype drilling rigs and currently building a "Hodgson Design" 2800 m. tele double that will be 'almost' completely functionable. I have build 2 models in the past that work and shown them in exhibits… Continue

Darrell B Marsh said… - Beautiful work! I have built two 3/8 scale service rigs with ABS plastics (I am in libya right now but will post the photos when I get home in a week or so) I was pleased with both of them but they are fragile. I want to build an SCR rig with metal now, any recommendations?
