Thanks for sharing these pics Andrea, a friend of mine showed me a prototype pic of that model the other day and your pictures just prooves what we thought: This is an amazing model!

Is there a lot of plastic on it like the HD605 and the PC450?


The model is really nice.
Before to buy it i was a little doubtful precisely because the previous models from UH had many plastic parts....this in plastic has only the details(such as mirrors and ladders). A good buy.

Thanks a lot!

i wasnt trying to come off like a jerk, i was just asking..... she bought me my first crane.... Lampson 18000 so i blame this hobby on her. no she didnt buy any of these models for me, i bought them all on my own, i do concrete for the union, so the pay is pretty good.... i do some side work and such, i have my ways of getting money to pay for models.... i cant always buy tons at one time but this time it worked out. if i can keep working i would like to get the Eisele LTM 11200 to go with my Eisele ballast truck and the Mediaco LTM 11200 as well


So you have taken up working the corners to get models? kinda cold up them at night during the winter! Whistle :d/ Anxious Teeth

would have to be my McAleese Drake Swingwing tralier and Kenworth T908 with the TWH dragline bucket for a load...

Sounds like an awesome combination. Would you mind posting a few pictures? Would love to see that bucket as a load. Have not seen any on a trailer yet. Only hanging from a dragline.

I will take a few photos and post them. Mean while I have attached a photo of a dragline bucket being carried on a Drake steerable platform. They transport the bucket upside down and feed the goose neck through the horse color to keep the height down. I have also attached photo of a special modification drake do for the 4x8 Swing wing trailers. It has a hinged deck section that you can drop the horse color into to keep the height down.http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae20/Brucehay/TRAILERSIDE.jpg

BAH,
Thanks for the pictures. You boys from down under sure have some sweet looking HH setups. Looking forward to your model pictures. Thanks again.

Paul,
That is one sick crane my friend. Although I don't own any, I don't think you can go wrong with anything Grohmann. Very classy looking livery.

Nick is correct. They are the Siku Fendts and for the money, they are worthwhile getting. I also repainted the wheels and added wheel weights for some extra detail. Janh (poster on this forum) provided the wheel weights.

Thanks,

Well.This is my THIS week addition.NZG Terex RT 1130.Great big RT for the money.But,I rather prefer my Link-Belt RTC 80100.Even both are from the same manufacterer,in my opinion.The LB is better.Anyway.The Terex is a must have.

My last model received was an NZG Liebherr 994 Mt Arthur Excavator to partner the Shovel I bought previouly.. I think the Excavator has a few refinements to make it look just a little better than the shovel, none the less, both are pretty good models for the relatively cheap prices paid.




Hope you enjoy the photos,
Regards from down under
