Last week I found a Trackmaster Colin on ebay without his base, So I decided to make my own. The base is a foam block with the details being made from toothpicks and canvas sheet that i painted and cut to size. I also modified Colin himself to have a more functional hook using pieces from inside his boom.

He's perfectly sized to HO/OO models, and I would like to someday use him in a potential bachmann SKR layout, but for now he's a standalone crane.
