great additions luis! the new 18000 just doesnt seem to impressive enough to replace my old one. i was told a while back by twh that they had fixed the drum issues, it would have new manitowoc logos, and the diecast boom. wish the drums were fixed cause id buy a new one. that LG looks great in those colors! just something about the tires, reminds me of lego wheels

Nice additions Luis. I agree about the Nordic LG, it is a really striking colour. It's the one people notice in my room!
What did you use the make the ladder hooks for the AC500? Didn't look like the YCC set up maybe it is. I also painted the lights on mine, added the license plate and painted the booms black. Looks so much better.

Hi all so far i got the a frame and 250 ton hook rigged. Also made some pads for the outrigers out of steryne and 1/4 wood sticks. This they came out ok in my opinion. I also simulated the bolts for the wood.     Also got some figures at the hobby lobby store.i will need more of this for the new dio as is going to be a rest ares.   Hope to get the dio done soon.
