Wow on the AC1000. Might get one, have to get a 11200 too. Would that be a good idea? Whistle

As Mammoet says "SIZE DOES MATTER". Slowly collecting Mammoet 1:50 scale stuff. Mainly cranes!

Sorry Tristan,I was just joking,but looks like the mammoet 112 is still a highly wanted crane

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

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.

im just curious about the price and release date, hopefully not til the end of the year and no more than the cost of the 112, based on that picture it doesnt look to have as much detail as the 112 so paying more would be criminal!

i will for sure get 1 and it will probably be the Ainscough one if they do release it in Ainscough and that will more than likely be my only 1..... but im excited to see there is a model of it finally, wonder if the frame will bend and twist under load

A model of this size would be fairly easy to detail by yourself.

lets just hope that the super lift arms can actually be tensioned this time cause on my AC 500-2 they are extremely slack, even as much as i tighten the drums they are extremely slack

Here's to 300 models suffering from Chassis failure and Slew ring binding! Applause

NZG or WSI better have a prototype of something that will take our minds off the AC-1000

I love cranes, but am more jacked about the new Goldhofer accessories! The AC1000 looks awsome though. Now I just need to convince my wife to let me spend some of my "big" paycheck on some new toys!

Wow, I was thinking about buying one of the other to-be-released cranes but this may be too hard to pass up on. Didn't think it would look this good! The crane itself looks stunning IMO! I wonder how the price will compare to the 11200?

EDIT: I also wonder if the outriggers are detachable?

is this for serious? looks cheap just like the AC 500 not to say i wont get 1.... but ill stick to 112s

any idea on price and when it will be available?


I have to say I partly agree, though I think Conrad have done a decent enough job. I will buy the Ainscough version if it is done but will stick to the 112's also.

I think the price will be an interesting one. We'll see.
