I finally got a Demag TC2000 1/50, i preordered it last year, and now i have it...in 1000 pieces!!!
Ok, i remember i read once here on the forum that the CC and TC was NOT (caps was used...i think) an easy model to assemble, well, i got the CC2000 last year, and i could see that it was put together with a fair amount of pieces, but didnt looked quite overwhelming.
But the CC2000 has tracks, the TC2000 doesnt have tracks, it have a truck undercarrier, with more parts than the crane itself

Here is what i got, im still trying to get my jaw back in the right place after opening the box:

















The assemble drawing (or whatever its called ) looks a bit messy, but i can handle this, im just wondering about what kind of glue i should use, and i was thinking that some1 here could suggest a good one to use?

But im not gonna use the van seumeren decals tho, i want it in another livery.

Well, that certainly looks like fun...

How much boom comes with the kit? Can you order extra sections?

ulf: Yea, its gonna be fun, and probably some frustration haha
2 sections comes with the crane, and that aint much, 1 extra sections cost 17 euro, but is not avaible atm :( and a new complete boom cost 101 euro.
But i have a friend who can maybe make me a copy of the entire boom, but in iron instead, i hate this plastic boom, i already broken off some of the place where you need to pin em together :S

Gd10r: Ah, i know that kind of glue, i will find some of that, thanks.

Now that looks like a nice challenge, hope you have a full bag of cookies!!!!

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts

Almost, now i just need to wire the damn thing! kidding too , i hope to start with it in a few days, we just have to get rid of this easter so i can go buy some paint.




No, i want the danish BMS livery BMS, or Havator maybe, because thats also a cool livery, and they also actually have a TC2000 Havator

Im have a tube of Danalim, and another tube i got when i bought a plastic model of a tank i had to assemble myself, so i will use that for the boom section, i guess thats the resin parts there is.

I not sure in wich order to paint and glue, i guess it will be a mix of it, but im gonna need some other decals, and havent got a printer for making em yet, so i guess i will have to get em somewhere on the net.

No i havent i redesided, i wanna put it togheter before i sell it, then it also should be worth more i hope.

I will post pictures of the process, starting with these:





it makes alot of dirty stuff all over the place.



Already ran into the first problem, one outrigger screw is "screwed", so i cant screw it into the bolt, i have to cut of ½ cm ot some.



But i have to wait 14 days to get the paint for it :/, i just gonna paint it in mammoet colors
