Or get her interested in collecting also!!!! Make it a family thing (except the kids)!!!
Got mine interested and now She gets something and so do I, like the other day got her a dump truck with tag trailer and I got a tag trailer or about a month ago I got her an HS855HD in Busker and I got the RL64 Pipelayer!!!!!
It saves me on buying other stuff like jewelry (which she can make) or other "girly" things of equal or higher value to what I want!! Also saves on shipping costs as I order from one place instead of 3 or more or the dreaded mall trip!!!
Also I might ask to borrow her stuff if I need it for projects, that way I have actually double the models and she thinks it is great to be collecting with me!!!!

The boom extensions make an already impressive crane more so...

well my crane arrived today, god damn postal service has used it as a kick ball hadnt they, huge crumple in the corner of the box..... the back mast bottom took the implace and is bent out of shape and broken.... email to conrad  was realy realy pissed when i saw that well here is my progress of rigging so far.. not much realy, the musky master type string i have is alot better than the conrad stuff, ill fill all the winchs with that stuff when i get the new part  i dont rate the instructions at all other than usless, realy are usless, id say the cause more confusion than good..

wow, sorry to hear that man, when the UPS guy dropped mine off, he kinda dropped it and I heard metal banging around, i thought something broke, i about went postal on the guy=>:-< , but luckily nothing broke, it was the counterweights banging around. hope it all gets fixed up for ya pretty quick, its an awesome model even though it lacks detail. congrats on the new addition too

Yes, the instructions are a bit of a joke. But the crane setup is pretty straightforward and I'm sure SOMEONE here on the Forum can resolve any unclear issues. The membership owns quite a number of 1750s...

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.
