Model Car Hoist
This 1/24 scale hoist is from the fujimi garage/tools kit. The detail is great! You can raise or lower by depressing the little plastic pin as you slide up or down. It has no problem holding up a model and the arms are even adjustable.
The second hoist is a scratch made old inground posty type. I used a tongue depresser, popsticks and a piece of 3/4 wood dowl. I covered the dowl with chrome tape and applied black streaks to simulate gease. I left the center finishing nail sticking up a bit to look like a rusty bolt.
I think the scratch made one would be a good way to go if you are building a larger display with multiple hoist bays or just that vintage look.
