yeah i did it that way, i first reeved it like i did the lr 1750 but once i got it all reeved, and tried to lower the mast, it was to difficult to move so i then reeved it without changing the direction on the first and last pulleys. heres the 1750, you can see how the line changes direction on the first sheave and the last one, the lr1600 wont work like this, too much friction

What I meant is, for the real crane there's an obvious reason why the lines go sheeves 6 and 12 and not to 1 and 17: those are too far apart, the lines would go too diagonal(?)(not sure which word you normally use for that). I wonder how much of a problem that is with the model when the lines get shorter (A frame to the back). I'll wait for pictures with the mast topped up

Looking very nice Brandon.
Just in the process of assembling my 1600, not with a luffter.
Just main boom & derick mast. (SLD/BW)
I like the fact that the last section of main boom is a reducer section that allows the use of the smaller luffing boom sections.
So you can configure this crane model in many ways for display.
Trev.
LTR 1100 in 1:14 scale.
Cranes and trucks.
Any thing with a big engine & big tyres.......
Love'm all.

Impressive pics!
Amazing that you can actually lift the complete mast from the ground.
Couldn't try that with my LR 1300 with derrick, because there isn't enough rope on the winch.
