The repaint turned out to be flawless from what I can see in the pics. The fleet looks great together in your newly under construction dio. Great job as always! Can't wait for new SM vids.

Thanks paul and the refinery dio you just have to start one. well today was a great day to get this lady outside for some sunshine pics after a bath of paint.       And the last but not the least with the SGC-120's hook block. I got the monster this week but will need a day to put it together.  Until next.

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.

That looks "GREAT". She turned out beautiful. I know I speak for us all on the forum, we need an assembly and heavy lift stop motion vid. I'll be sitting here patiently waiting. Thumbs up on the paint job.

Congratulations Luis, that's a very neat Mammoet collector piece. I too have a project for customizing a LR1300 in a specific livery sometime this fall. Hope it ends up looking that good too.  In the meantime, I am designing a HO scale railroad layout, and completing a special project in 1/32 scale for a friend's birthday that I will post here soon (after June 23rd).  Stephane

Thanks guys for the feedback and I am happy with the results of this lady. here is my biggest crane in my collection. There's no words for this monster as is incredibly big as the real one. 75 lbs of diamond red Rock for the 36 containers on the ballast. This pic was with out the hook as I ran out of time on that day.   and here is now all rigged inside my collection room.     hope you guys enjoy the pics and whoever else wants to buy one, better have room for ti.

Wow! If it was more detailed, I would probably get one at some point. But to me, the only thing that makes people buy it is it's size. It doesn't have any hoses, warning labels, hardly any fine detail, it's just a huge deck on a huge ring, with a massive boom. Wsi could have done a lot better with this model IMO. It is impressive, but I think overpriced for what you get. Great addition though Luis, hope to see an assembly video or a huge lift, possibly setting a shed in your backyard haha.

Well. Most of the time, we get overpriced models. Anyway compa. Great addition! Just curious. How many people, beside you, return this beast to your cookie lodge? Salu compa!

Thanks brandon it lacks of details but just put this way you are buying 2 cc8800 in one. The boom it self is one of the most detailed in the models I have on the deck I would like to have more detail but you can't get everything. Thanks compa that was my birthday present that I gave my self. And I still don't understand why have models in their boxes but o well everyone is different. Anyway thanks guys the real reason I bought this monster is to help me get the models down from where they are. Ha ha ha. Just joking.

The upper structure is less detailed than PTC however. Its size really does matter, as the ring is measured over 90cm on diametre, comparing with PTC's 50cm. I am wondering whether there will be an extension kit.
