Blimey, it's huge and it's even more than twice your height!.

I must also say though that I like your AC100. These little cranes are growing on me and having several Mammoet ones(and more) buzzing around where I live with oil work isn't helping me!.

Thanks for taking the time and effort for the photos Smile

That thing looks awesome!! Super jealous....the M250 is my favorite crane and has been for a very long time. I still have sections of 1/48th scale boom that I started making for one out of balsa wood back in high school. Didn't get too far with it...I am a recovering terminal perfectionist...

Brandon, What a fantastic model! You have really got a winner there. I doubt we will ever see a model of the 2250, with TWH gone, so your M250 will always be a "rare one" . Good for you! DanielD

That's pretty much the main reason why I got this, really glad I got it

got a couple new items in yesterday, was only going to get the container but decided i might as well pick something else up that wasnt much and that ive been wanting

the NZG 20ft container, its nice, wish the doors would open though. but it weighs alot for being hollow













and the other item, the Hitachi 470, very nice model, mine came with a broken track link and all the links were scattered in the box when i opened it, but i got a new link or 2 coming already. very detailed model! one thing i did though was repaint that ugly spider/octopus looking grey hoses on the main cylinders
























now i just need the 225...

been working on this project for a little bit now, was waiting until my pool got pretty clean, to put it in for pics. the pool stayed crystal clear until about 3 weeks ago, and then turned green, chemicals ran out and had to wait a week for a new shipment then couldnt seem to get it clean for nothing until yesterday, i worked on cleaning it all day! its just cloudy now but thats easy to fix
anyway, here is a barge i built, nothing special, just got bored and seeing all the cranes here on barges made me want to build one.

Pretty cool. I have never seen a model barge on the water. Looks like the Liebherr is loading the barge quite a bit.

Hi Brandon,

This is my 1st post on the forum and I'd just like to say what a cracking collection you have. I dont really collect cranes but after looking at some of them I'm going to go for a little peek at whats on offer! Teeth

I just sat here and watched the stopmotion you made assembling the Mammoet PTC 35 and have to say, what a job Applause Applause Probably the best stopmotion I've watched. It sure gives you an idea of the work involved putting a crane like that together, those trucks just kept on coming!

I think what made the stopmotion for me were the little figure workmen running around all over rigging and marshalling, that put a degree of realness to it.

I'm off to watch some more of your stopmotions. Cool
