Gus,I'll be expecting you to buy a 1/1 Mammoet ltm11200 with all that OT!!!! 
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.

More pics the better IMO. Looks damn great.
As Mammoet says "SIZE DOES MATTER". Slowly collecting Mammoet 1:50 scale stuff. Mainly cranes!

There are a few things that let this model down,there should have been a detailed small parts list,you get 2 bags of screws/pins and replacement springs,I know it's not rocket science,but it would help,where each pin and screw goes,the other is the plastic boom cylinders,I know YCC are doing them,don't know they will have the attachments for the plastic parts off the original or they do metal replacements for the plastic parts,have to wait and see what they produce,but definiatly needs metal,not so much for support but to get rid of the shi- plastic,thats my opinion on this model,aside from these little gripes I have with it it, is a great model,everyone that's bought one should love it,cheers all,Steve.

Steve, those outrigger pads are excellent. Did you "Mammoet" them yourself or would I be right to think you can buy them?. I'll need to buy some outrigger pads for my 11200 but am not sure whether to go for black or red  More super pics Noel, now I really am  But watch out incase somebody comes barging in the door!!!.

Thanks Thorleif... the outrigger mats come with the model by the way and are specially made so that the outrigger feet slot into them, so you wont need further purchasing in that department! I think steve's are the ones that came with it with some mammoet decals added? Nice touch anyway!

Here's hoping they maybe will come with the Mammoet logo on them because it's a great little touch

Great pics Noel and nice to see her reaching for the sky. Just one question - do the supporting legs for the boom detach? I think they do but cannot remember for sure.
