finally finished painting all the boom sections, nothing much more to do to it besides maybe hydro lines, debating on adding them, but anyways, enjoy

added cable to the spools on the side









all sections at 50%

merry christmas everyone!
heres what i got.... finally!




500 tonners













already re reeved the luffing bridle












a very nice model by wsi. seems to be alot better than the 1350. one thing wsi could do though, is work on the sterring of these models. the wheels barely turn and some just turn when pushing the model straight if wheels are straight. think the sheaves should be black but other than that, awesome model! love the aluminum boom, its lighter but looks more realistic, especially the last section with the boom head. also love the intermediate settings (50%, 96%, 100%) hopefully other manufacturers will start this trend.
glad to finally see this crane made into a model Applause

you will love the model jason! white would look good too!

since im almost done with the lr1600 assembly video, i started thinking about the ltm1500 video, wanting to assemble it without the use of an assist crane but i will have to bring one in anyway to attatch the wings, but anyways, i had luis build me a transporting rig for the 84m boom, was thinking of a launch trailer but figured that would be a little difficult and then i remembered a video on youtube of a special boom installer trailer boom install video, but thought that would be difficult also with the adjusting mechanisms, so searched a little more, and came across something on hansebube, its basically a sliding frame, that sits on a trailer. luis changed a few things to not copy his, came out great though! very happy with it.

























hauling off 54m boom





also had this Aux tip made for the cc8800, can fit with both sheave assemblies on or just one, has 2 sheaves, A2B, and a tie off point, very well made!

Nice pics brandon!

Does the kit help the ltm 1500 turn better brandon as my ltm is hard to turn it.
And the reel turns? As i want to get it but i want to be shure it helps turn the boom smooth.

SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING.

it turns pretty smoothly, might just need a little grease under it. the cable reel however does not turn, has to be glued on, you could probably make it turn but would need a little modification

was bored so i decided to shorten up the ptc. pretty simple to do, i just had to remake the luffing mast pendant straps. i emailed wsi back when i made the assembly video and asked for a few finality sets as i needed some to make the full extension set work, they were kind enough to send me about 20 of them. and i got the thread from hobby lobby. anyway, now i can set this crane up in 4 different configurations, plus if i just wanted the main boom only. in this configuration, it is the same height as the older version ptc with the smaller boom sections. which still is a big model!




new pendant sets

heres the ltm 1300 all prettied up in Sterett. wasn't too bad of a repaint, I'm having a rougher time on the ltm1200, boom sections keep scrapping the paint. ill get her all sorted out soon, but anyways hope you guys enjoy...

if you have been on this forum for a while, most of you know I've been wanting to repaint this bad boy in these colors forever since i saw the 1:1 version few years ago. now she's finished



































and heres the real one
