Ok been awhile but here is the lastest on this model. I am entering it in a model contest/ show this weekend. The build is done but i am going back and redesigning areas in cad to make it stronger.

Here is the final main boom section. This is 3d printed and the catwalk is 3d printed in high detail resin and came out better then i had thought it would. I am actually going back and redrawing all the catwalks with the same pattern floor.






Here is the crane with short heavy jib





Here you can see i have redesigned up the luffer arms and new heavy head. These will be 3d printed.



Here is the redone walkway,



I will get some pictures at the show of the crane fully set up

There must be a great sense of achievement with this. It looks great. I'm glad you went for 'normal' tracks instead of the double ones you experimented with.

Crazy work Jason,there is no doubt there would be a long queue of collectors wanting this made,superb!!!

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

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

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.
