Mark - I made it from a normal extension for the jib. It is 10.5m.

Well beautifully done, I have one of those extensions myself and am contemplating what to use it on. I really like the looooooong strait boom with a small offset jib like one Nolte has on the box sleeve, but I have not figured out how to do that yet.

Very, very nice Paul. I don't comment often but I envy your talent and collection!!! I know how hard it is to paint like that. Nicely done, great livery!!! Decals look great as well. Yellow for me usually takes six to seven coats, but then the paint is about a half meter thick. Whatever

Thanks for all the comments guys. Much appreciated. Here are a few taken outside with a more realistic configuration, though I wish I had a few more boom sections:

















I hope to add the derrick and suspended CW tray over the next few days. The CW trays will also get warning stripes as soon as they arrive!

Final shots of this crane now with the derrick and suspended CW attached. Don't look too closely at the rigging for the hook line Whistle It will be fixed!!

















Thanks for all the comments so far.

I've liked the LR1300 ever since it was launched. The Felbermayr version was the one I went for initially but them the van Marwijk came along at a very nice price, so I could not refuse. I would normally take pictures outside, but this one I daren't due to the height! It is stand almost 2.2m tall in these photos:













I know the photos are not the best, but this really is a great livery and one day I hope to have it displayed next to the LTM 11200-9.1.

Thanks for looking,

Paul R
