Seeing this has made me really want the Mammoet version. What a poop that i had missed out. Can someone invent a time machine?

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Maybe Noel or someone can confirm this or even correct me!.  Edit: here's a little statistic for everybody. On an average price of £450 this would equate to £450X600(units) = £270,000.

If it's an international shipment, they should hold it for you and contact you to pay the tax. Or you could contact them if you have a track number. But they shouldn't send it right back.

very smart. nice choice of trailer for transporting the boom.the real boom would be round the other way with the base of the boom right up on the neck of the trailer.but it's up to you

Hi all,just for interest the main boom comes in at around 2.5 kg on it's own,very heavy as homer stated,who ever ordered one will love it,it's a great model and boxed well and presented well,in all great model,steve.

Theres four keys supplied with the model for turning the winches, one with a 90 degree head on top. NZG also included a couple of tooth picks and a little metal wire tool which i can only assume are for helping with reeving. The hook blocks have the liebherr name embossed on them but it is painted over in black unlike the standard version which has the black writing and silver background to the liebherr badge, maybe this is to replicate the real ones that mammoet have? Bruce, I was gonna put the boom the other way around but as I mentioned before if you do it that way, the crane would have to be driven in to meet the boom after it is unloaded and this may not be possible on tighter sites! Anyway its not exactly realistic the way i had it seen as it was sitting on a piece of polystyrene on the trailer!! I have to say though, anyone who hates plastic on models will love this crane.. Its actually difficult to find many plastic parts with the exception of the main lift cylinders and the other hydraulic cylinders on the fly jib and superlift. The suspension is class too!
Noel.

Yeah aubrey i had the same problem, i used a small pliers to get the first couple of turns on them and they should loosen out enough to turn by hand after that! I'd recommend to anyone waiting for the model to have a small pliers and a set of precision screwdrivers at the ready because you'll need them and it'd be a bummer if you didn't have them when she arrives!!

Thanks Noel..it arrived testerday,but was heading out.. so today is proper looktime...everyting you posted is true..a complete beauty ..and yes there are delicate parts made of plastic ...to everyone .. 1)watch the wingmirrors..not the quality of WSI 2)try not to catch the ladder at the back..metal would have been nice ,,but plastic 3)ithere are 2 tiny lights on stalks at the neat rear light set..VERY DELICATE..so thanks.. noel precision pliers with tape (protect paint) & screwdriver..it is..regards. Aubrey
