I have no words in my vocabulary that would do this model justice. It is just incredible.
Thank you so much for posting pictures of your work. Truly amazing.

They are just awe inspiring! There are some very lucky owners out there at the moment! Do you plan on building more of these?

Beautiful job. Building five of them is most impressive.

Those are absolutely outstanding! You mentioned that they were CNC cut styrene pieces, how long does it take you to fully assemble, paint and complete one of your own kits? Thanks for sharing! Rowan.

One model needs approx. 60 hours to build, but some parts do need a long time on the CNC-machine and this time is not included in the "building-time".

Dan thats just beautiful!!!
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.

The Derrick is also planned plus two additional main boom sections to reach the maximum main boom length of 107 meters.
But the Derrick-Head will be very difficult to make and currently I do not have any profiles left, they are ordered but need some time to arrive.

Fantastic piece of work and its perfect. was lucky enough to be working with the AK680-3 last week in Glasgow as we were derigging and moving to the next location of the ongoing M8 extension.
PC9600 is scheduled to be on that same job later in the year so hopefully I can be on site to see this machine and maybe get some pictures.
