The parts for the Hydraulic lifts are the biggest concern.
My original design was full 3D parts...cylinders, tubes, tubular cast parts, etc
But at 1/50 scale these were microscopic builds beyond my skills.
So I had to simplify the construction.

But I also wanted to retain some quality for larger scale build.

I went with a laminated technique...you build up the main linkages with layers
of flat card.
And even at 1/33 scale, I think it will be very presentable.

Anything large than that, I would recommend some scratch building and
replacement of a few parts.
