Thanks for the info!
I haven't really looked and counted exactly what all I need, I was giving a guesstimate, either way, still alot of coin for those kits but will be well worth it

thanks guys!
well I've decided I'm going to leave it grey for a while as it stands out and looks pretty good. might paint it over the summer. anyways, i took her out yesterday as it was pretty nice and took a little photoshoot. its max configuration minus 2 40ft sections on the jib and of course the 12m rear mast section which i plan on getting soon. my only worry is since its plastic, I'm worried if it would hold up with all the stress now and not bend or warp. as you can see, i added the walkways to the top of the boom booster now, which i think came out ok. hope you enjoy

im 5'9'' for a comparison!

Don't know which shot is more impressive! The fully boomed up poses or the laid flat shots. Regardless dang fine work sir! Make me wann unbox by 8800 again and give the boom booster a shot.

Thanks guys!
It took about 2 hours probably to setup, take down. I had the main boom all assembled, rear mast and crane all assembled, and the jib assembled, carried oout in 3 pieces, well 4 including the wagon,put a couple pins in and just had to reeve the jib and hook.
