Luis, that CC8800 turned out great! I am glad that you have given it such a good home with great care. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks mammoetzealot...and I hoping one day they make the jib for it.

thanks dave ... I was tired of looking at it in the same colors everyday bu it came out to my satisfaction matters.


Here is a couple more of the yellow monster now I started putting hoses to connect all the generators together. Hope I am doing the right thing.








well I ran out of that rubber hose hope to do alot of detailing to this monster.

Good improvement , definitely gets rid of some of the bareness on the platform.

Also your CC8800 looks great, you would swear Conrad had painted it, well done.

I would love to add the 120 to my collection but I just don't have the room to rig something of that size. One question that comes to mind is how do you turn all the main hoist drums? I don't see any key ways to attach a key to turn the drums. And if it's like the CC8800 that can sure wear the skin off your thumb real quick since it doesn't have any key attachment to turn the drums either.
