That is just amazing - what a feat of model building, or perhaps I should say engineering  Now I can't wait to see it painted.

That is absolutely amazing! I appreciate you sharing the product of your talent. The ways that you solved the problems that were presented in order to make a working model speaks considerably about your engineering skills. Needless to say, I am among the many who are impressed by your modelling skills.

Thanks for the nice words! It is quite a milestone and I found myself repeatedly just staring at it, just taking in the result after about 6 years of work. I took it down again and I can start finishing the missing details. Plenty to do! Kerst

Paul R I wish I could come to this great show, but it is a logistical nightmare. I did it once, years ago, with my Krupp, but there was considerable damage as a result. I sent parts by mail and took the rest on the airplane, but had to check it in unfortunately. Security was no problem, which surprised me. kerst

Testing the LTM1800 with derrick. I rigged the crane this weekend and did the first testing. The object was a 22 Lbs chuck. Luckily nothing broke, but I was surprised at the amount of movement in the carrier and the outriggers. The video gives an impression. (Watch the dial at the foot outrigger) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHOLoBGLoJU&list=UU5RYqPrhaONGMvSKesd5Gjg&index=2Here some pictures of the setup. Although I took care of a lot of details, there is still work left.     Kerst

Fantastic work Kerst,
I've been watching your build post since you started it.
Just great craftmanship.
It sooo rewarding when a project like this (excuse the pun) gets off the ground!!!!
The first time I go my LTR operational its a very happy momment, as long as nothing breaks!!!
What colour will you paint it?
Regards
Trev.
LTR 1100 in 1:14 scale.
Cranes and trucks.
Any thing with a big engine & big tyres.......
Love'm all.

I did some final details, like the chains for lifting the boom to self-install it. I found some decent chain, classified as jewelry, but it works fine for this purpose. The cylinder doesn't work and that is no real problem. It limits the horizontal movement a bit.  Next is the big job of painting the crane. I decided to do the Sarens livery and even there I have choices since they had various versions of the LTM1800 and the LG1550. Kerst

Kerst You have just built one of the finest customs here on the forums, and I like your choice to do the Sarens version! Blue & white would be nice  Look forward to your continued thread on the painting process Kerst! Jeff
