Re: Challenge 961: Getting Hysterical
When my kids were small they loved their big yellow Tonka toys!! This incredibly ordinary and, dare I say dull?, image took forever. Part of the problem was building perspectives to match the Hyster. Whatever, it definitely belongs in the 'wish I hadn't started' category. But I had it all my way last week so I guess it was time to be brought back to earth.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 961: Getting Hysterical
On the face of it, this is just a rather dull rebuild. I wanted to extend the jib. However, if you approach this conscientiously, there's much more to it than meets the eye. As the jib extends the grip plate (or whatever it's called) at the end of the jib gets more overhead and thus viewed more from the underside. Although it's quite subtle (quite possibly spelt a, n, a, l, ) it requires a surprisingly difficult rebuild which sadly is likely to be all but unnoticeable except to the very observant viewer. It's one of those cases where one is almost certainly going to be unaware of it except that, had I not done it, you would probably sense something wrong even if you couldn't really put your finger on it. Well that's what I keep telling myself ................  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Terrific wheel rotations there Michael! Really good! I wonder if the illusion of movement would be stronger if the sky was plain without the clouds which provide a 'static' reference. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 961: Getting Hysterical
This is beautiful work Michael (Mariner) but, perhaps I am just being obtuse, I haven't a clue what it is supposed to be about ..........

You have done some beautiful work yourself this and most other weeks David. Can we assume that the boy playing with the toys is your grandson? |

Re: Challenge 961: Getting Hysterical
Lovely work all. It's strange how one takes machinery for granted and believes everybody else knows what they are for. At DCT ( Durban Container Terminal) we use the Hyster on a regular basis, mainly for stacking empty containers. The Hyster can stack containers 6 high (17.5 meters high). The 'grabber" is referred to as a spreader. It has automatic locking devices (4) on either corner of the spreader that are referred to as twistlocks. These twistlocks insert into any conventional container's corner castings, (the slot openings on the top and bottom corners of a container) you see on all containers. The containers (the red rectangular transportation box depicted in David's lovely image of the boy playing with toys) come in many proportional, conventional sizes that combined together, or by themselves, can be stowed securely aboard all containerized vessels standard stow positions. The boom can extend longer as can the spreader. It can extend outwards to receive a variety of widths. Some containers need either OH ((over height frames) a frame that locks onto the spreader and increases it's depth reach, enabling it to go over carry loads that extend beyond the height of the container's dimensions; or chains for when the load is to wide. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |
