thanks guys! paul- it is a great addition to the model, is a must have i think! the paint isnt an exact match to conrads yellow though, its a brighter color. luis- haha! man, it was a pain in the a$$ to reeve! i couldnt get the string to go through the sheaves that attatched to the counterweights, so i cut a little off so its easier to get the string through now. will look all good once its repainted!

Looks good Brandon  What livery are you repainting it in?  I still haven't got round to getting this for my 1300, I kind of prefer cranes with a short boom in heavy lift set up rather then for height and reach

Thanks Sam! I'm repainting it in Sterett crane livery, red and white. They also have a green and white one but I like the red/white more. Probably going to start it next weekend

A helpful hint which was told to me by fellow forum member BIRDMAN,for rigging the YCC 1300 luffer jib is to use a product called fray stoppa or fabric glue which can be bought from fabric/craft stores.
You dab alittle on the end of the string and place the end in the groove of the pulley(stuff drys pretty quick)then spin the pulley around and the string comes with it,I found it works extemely well,just a thought,hope it helps,Steve.

I tried burning the end with a lighter so the string doesn't fray apart, that didn't work, so then I dabbed the end into some glue so it would be stiff enough to slide through, it worked somewhat, and alot of patience haha. I'll have to try that stuff

I always stick the string/musky master into super glue. I do about 1 1/2 inchs and let it almost dry. Then I bend it around my finger to make a hook shape (look like a sutra needle. Kinda like the ones that came ith the 18000, and 16000). Then when it drys hard it makes reveeing a breeze.

That's exactly what I did. The opening around the sheaves is just so thin, the musky is basically too big in diameter to squeeze through, but I finally managed to get it all reeved after about an hour or 2

Brandon that is why I suggested this stuff especially with the pulley housing top and bottom,the top one with the big pulley in the centre was a real bitch and I rigged with 18 lb muskey,but using this fray stoppa had it done in less than 15 minutes,I tried all the other ways aswell but it's not worth the frustration and time,do yourself a favour and try it after the repaint,looking forward to that,Steve.

Justin Thats more or less how I did mine using this method, it made it so much easyer. Stephen.
