Jeff - I will put some more shelves in the existing display cabinet and also I will be using a small room upstairs for WSI models.

Most of the cranes will be boomed up but some I will leave down.

I had Jason make this load for the Thomen, which replicates a bridge section that this crane actually lifted. It is my intention to make a diorama for this but heaven knows when that will happen!







Thanks again Jason for a great job. These photos don't really do your workmanship justice!

10m x 30m and I think about 130t was the real one, but I'm not 100% sure now. My crane has the Derrick fitted but the 1:1 version didn't for this lift. My bridge section is also half the length (15m).

In 1:50, the bridge would have been 20cm x 60cm but mine is 20cm x 30cm.

Luis,
It's a bit of card I use for when I'm messing with the hook or any other movement that involves the movement of sheeves! Stops the rope from jumping out when it shouldn't. I forgot to remove it for the photo! Look close enough and you'll see another bit hanging out the top of the back mast.

I have had this little beauty for a while now but decided to take some photos today:





















Based on this model I can see healthy LTM 1500 collection building up over the next few years Smile

I agree!

Nice Paul! I am in the process of putting Musky Master line on mine. I also have the Mammoet version and no issues with it.

There will be a few, I'm sure! 2 more already announced and there are a lot of good liveries to choose from.

How about Cargo Crane. That will be a nice livery in my opinion.

This model arrived last week and is not one found in Europe easily! And I mean the 1:50 version!





















Great looking livery I think.
