Hey guys, im not really that new to this forum, been reading and taking advise for a few years now, but pretty much never posted, maybe a question here and there. I guess its time i try posting a photo or two. My model room only gets good light really early in the morning, so soon enough ill have to start taking some nice photos before i leave for workSmiley

I hope I d'ont screw this up somehow lol ill start with only a few, if i do screw it up hopefully someone can give me some help!






put the luffer on this guy last night and decided to try adding the "TAN" guying reeve aswell

Hell yeah Evan, thanks again! Gotta love the 1800, will always be one of my faves. Might have to grab that Nolte one while I can, seeing as how the other good ones are gone;)

Wow Rob, what a treat Applause

I like how you have a number of your cranes posed because of the height restriction in some places!.

Thank you for sharing your collection.

thanks Paul R, id love to build some finished low steps like you have, really maximizes the potential of the cranes. did you have someone make them for you? i also like having waist height tables for some models, and even higher levels for some, to enjoy the carrier more than the boomSmiley but this stops me from having models fully up unfortunately. to be honest i just shuffled the room recently and im not happy with it. the room does have a computer desk, large tv stand, couch, racing simulater seat, and beer fridge in it so i can only do so much. few new packages arriving so i would assume more shuffling will happen lol.

thanks Paul, i actually love posing cranes in mid rise, even post. i havent posed much assembly, but would love to, especially with space getting low, and new cranes needing more attention than say an 18000, or 1750, the bigger space takers hahaha. might make some room soon, but need to get some more heavy hauls and lowboys, something i havent collected much yet. cant have cranes in mid build without parts on arrival!

Yes those steps were done professionally. I told him what I wanted and he built it perfectly. Then my wife painted everything including the walls.

Well it turned out great Paul! You can really get some height with the models!! Could probably fully extend the boom on an 11200Smiley. Gonna have to consider creating a similar section for my room.

On another note, loving the ltm 1500!! Got it all set up, except for the hook. Not exactly happy with the hooks provided, the 12 sheeve block I got was very warped, I'll post a photo tomorrow. Going to put a ycc block on it;)
