I would guess this lack of response shows just how few quality Gottwald models are out there. I think Kibri and HiMoBo pretty much cover it and the HiMoBo version was overpriced and never got good reviews. A great pity...

Hi there, A couple of photos of my scratch built 1/50 scale AMK 1000-103 built entirely out of plasti-card with a few white metal bits and Conrad wheels and tyres. We all know it should be in Riga Mainz livery but I chose to use some Mammoet transfers which I had spare. Note also the photo with the heavy duty lifting boom I think this was the only way it could lift a 1000 ton but I could be wrong Cheers Andy

Cheers Andy Excellent job  Yes I guess it should be Riga Mainz but Mammoet don't look too bad  I think that you are also correct about the heavy duty lift boom, but I also think that this was never actually made?? It was designed but that is as far as it went. Paul R

The tele boom on the AMK1000 was only good for a maxium of 350t, same goes with the boom on the LTM1800, these to machines would never actually lift there nominal capacity, it was more of a guide as to campare them against other tele boom cranes.
Although the AMK1000 is by far and away the better looking of the big gottwalds when it came to lifting the AK912 & 850 with the much stronger lattice boom and back mast system would out lift it hands down.

Hi Folks I built many Gottwald-Cranes in the past, most of them were handmade with Styrene-Sheets, all in scale 1:50. Since last year I'm building them with my CNC-cutting machine, as for example the AMK 600-93 I posted a couple of weeks ago and the AMK 400 that was posted by GusO. Greetings Daniel Here are few of them: AK 450-83 Franz Bracht:   AK 680-3 Sarens:   AK 912-103 Al Jaber:   AMK 200-83 Riga Mainz:  AK 630 (Demag TC 3600):

gotta love that Demag tc3600,always wondering to this day is she still earning a keep
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.
