So I have thought about it for awhile and I finally found the one I was looking for.... A stock liebherr hs855 dragline crane. Now I'm not much for the cookie kind the only cranes I own are a Potain igo, terex ac200, 1300h boom truck and if it's considered a knuckle boom dump truck. So having the model come with a drag line and only a few companies around town have/ operate them, I decided to go for a regular crane set up and man does it look good.

I have one of the first run cranes like this and it is awesome!! I actually got a clamshell bucket for mine too also I've found that it takes about 5 minutes to change from drag line to lifting and that's putting in the third boom section. Also takes me about 10 minutes to change from lift to drag line with taking out the third boom piece.

I also got my significant other into crane models, I found a version of the HS855 in the blue Buskers version, they aren't around anymore for sale!!

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

This is an awesome model, having no experience with crawler crane reeving it was not bad to do. Though it's extremely delicate with the tiny hex bolts. Now to build some crane stuff.
