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.

Congrats graham  ..i just read the review of these on MCW,and was very impressed..but i was wondering  are these heavier than the WSI models...does the hitch function like a real truck with the pull lever.. and is the steering lock as good as the review stated...look forward the getting some cab and trailer configurations ..cheers Aubrey

Very nice graham, good to see NZG giving WSI a run for their money.. The front hitches look great. I've seen the GIVE version selling for a very reasonable price too which is great for collectors!

was a bit bored today so I decided to hire out my CHL ac200 for its first lift,a 25t turbine rotor I think here's some pics,with John O'Neill doing the haulage set up ready for lift  Scania and ac200 in background   load to be shifted,look like a giant rotor from a power drill   slings attached,no these don't comply with lifting code,but i had a 1/50 brown envelope made too

Gus I went to Birger at DreamDock for the decals, he done a great job on them and was very helpfull,
I've also used Decal Print too,they both do great work and dug me out of a few holes already,excellently priced too
yeah Those NZG MAN's are compatable with Conrad trailers as far as i know and the cover plate over the front hitch come off too,Detail is on a par with WSI but built quality is way above,
Miniature Construction World has a great review on the GIVE one

I hope that motor was'nt a work tool ..or do they make u buy yer own ...any 1/50 health and safety guy is probably going to c"*p his overalls and drop dead when a very irate graham walks into the room holding the can of paint stripper and says.. "do you feel lucky.. punk"...he might end up in a certain waste recycling centre ..then it the slow boat to china for him  ..great dio graham...regards Aubrey

talking to the O' Neill driver we asked him what was the heaviest load he had hauled on the rig plus 3 axle inter dolly,163ton concrete beam
the heaviest machine or machine part he hauled was the telescopic demolition boom off an Hitachi ex1200,something similar to 777's ,with a weight of about 70ton,with 5+3 trailer and fully extended
