Dear all,
This has been my first time at this show and I can really say that it was quite amazing! I spent the first hour walking around in a bit of a daze as I have never seen so many custom models before.

Here are just a few:

From our good friend Christian













This is one of the biggest models there, the LR 11200:



This is the beginnings of a custom built CC8800 Twin:







A great tandem lift here with a pair of AC500's:



This is two 1:87th scale LTM11200-9.1:







And finally, cranes in Mediaco livery:







This is just a drop in the ocean compared to what was there, but I am sure there will be others who will post more photos. I also got to meet a few people whilst there which was great.

Thanks for looking,

Paul R

Thanks Paul for posting your pics. Looks like some really fantastic looking customs, Christian did a great job on his LTM1800 in SEAFORTH livery, like the touch of the front cab window opening.

Splendid pictures Paul! Yes, Christian's LTM 1800 is stunning. And I still think there is a market for a 1/50 Twin 8800. If the PTC is viable, I think the Twin would sell also. Something about a crawler with two booms...

Nice pics Paul. I was there today as well, and I must admit, it wasn't as busy as previous years. Lots of great models though. Some of them are real artists. Did you see the huge Rotran set up? I believe it was in the same lane as Christian's table. Speaking of which, that LR 1280 in Bay Crane livery is very impressive!! Applause Applause Applause

I made few photo's as well, although not as much as I would have liked too. I'll upload these later on.
Got a few new models too, including a new Liebherr LRB 255, and for a bargain as well!! A few attachments for my excavators, and a Komatsu WA 470 wheel loader. Yup, it was a good day!! Cool Cool

Well, I see that many people have seen the Hendrickson Hulk. It's one of my favourite Ultra Heavy Haulers, and I'm glad a 1/50th model is finally being released. I know it's gonna be pricey, but I'm definately gonna get me one of those!!

Anyway, here are my photo's. Not as much as I wanted to make, but taking photo's inside is not my strong point, especially in a dark surrounding like this show. More lights please!!

CC 8800 Twin...



Christian's LR 1280 in Bay Crane livery...



Something I'd really like to buy, but it's pretty expensive at € 250 euro's ($ 392 USD) detail is incredible though!! Maker of this fantastic piece and of the models in the next few photo's is Horst Moehler. A real artist!





More models of Horst...

Slurrywal excavator on a modified Liebherr HS 883.



Nice little barge (looks like a relatively easy project..) with an ABI /Sennebogen sheetpiler...





A diorama. Very niceley done!!





Wagenborg Nedlift (Dutch Heavy Haulage and Crane company) with a special loading system.



Very nice Custom Volvo in front of an MWT...



And last but not least, a few new Himobo models on display at their stand.

"Hulk"...



New Crusher (looks very good!!)...



And yes, they had the Grove GTK 1100 on display as well!!

Bottom part including the new Scheuerle Intercombi Modular trailers...



And top part...
