nothings working 
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.

That looks fantastic! I really like those short straight / demo boom swap out machines. All you need now is a cradle to hold the demo boom. Do you plan on getting one of the WSI 870's? I'm looking forward to the comparisons. Rowan.

Mark,Gaz told me to use RAL 2009,its pretty damn close,very very very close,if you can't get that perhaps there is a hitachi dealer close?
I love Gaz's after market booms,one I'm painting at the moment should look great!
Boatboy,I'll try get some comparison snaps for you later,have you anything specific in mind for a comparison?
Rowan,I'd like to get the excavator version,we all 3 but,the excavator first,they look in another class altogether,more "glass case" than anything

Graham, old buddy, those are some sweet pics!! You definately need to find extra room for all those cranes though!!!! Uh, I have some extra space if you need it for some of those 11200s, you could send 2 over here to the states to "work" and I have the "yard" for them to work out of!!!!   Nice work shots also, is that a Violia company vehicle in the one pic????? We have a company with the same name here in Florida working the landfill near us!!!
Dain I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!! Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

That looks excellent graham, you did a great job on the painting and hoses.. I think it looks much better with this boom and bucket than it does with the demo booms from NZG!
