It's funny you should bring up the cans exploding. I did have one of the red one pop in my hand! walked around for a few days with a red hand. lol. I'm thinking either the LTM 1300 or the AC500-1.

No intervention is necessary! There is nothing wrong with painting anything red and black!!! Now if you really want a great looking next project, you have already selected it, the LTM1300





Shall I get you a decal set??????

As to the rest to of you-here have a red and black cookie!!!

I just found some humor and decided to pass it along to brighten up someones day!!

Bobm, I found some really good cookies here in Florida. They are made by Amish people at a place not too far away.

Amazingly the cookies are call "Banger Cookies"!!!!Think Think Think They have pecan pieces, coconut, oatmeal, and lots of goodness!!!Drool Drool Drool Drool

They are like cranes and models, VERY ADDICTING!!!!!Shhh Shhh

Oh and yes the LTM1300 would be a good victim, er subject to reorganize the color scheme on!!!

Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what your up to!!!Angel Angel

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

******rubs hands together sinisterly with evil grin******

Come young Skywalker, proceed with the disassemble of the LTM1300. Here let me help you on the way. Now you may want to get to the hobby store quickly to secure your red and black paint. And don't worry, I have extra if you need it. The first fix, I mean can, is free.........

LTM Part I

LTM Part II

I think I see an A&E spacial in my future. I'll be told I'm going to a "Model Show". I'll walk in the room and there will be a bunch of the DHS forum members sitting there with pics of non Mammoet cranes. There will be some dude offering me a can of Sarens blue paint and decals telling me I need help! LOL!

My young Skywalker, you will never walk in to that room if I can help it. The power of the mammoth is strong in you. Close your eyes and feel your power as you move things without trying, feel your strength, revel in all things red and black. Do not listen to the blue sayers, for blue is not the color of passion, red is! Blue is no the color of darkness, black is. Blue is not the color of things precious, silver is!! Feel the force of the Mammoth!!!

Nicely said Bob, i could not have said it better. MAMMOET it not a force to be wreaked with. (Mammoet has a BIGGER crane then sarens has)

Mammoet- Size does Matter.

Yes it does! Bob's web page is a tab on my IE. It is an invaluable tool.

This is my favorite topic that I have ever started. Thanks again for all the comments! Can't wait to get the crane done and post more pics!
