Paul I have been amazed on the model count you have been able to amass, but i will have to agree with DeWoc19 on the configuration on this livery. I have the model in Mammoet livery when it was first introduced, with Jib and weight carrier. for me it makes the model look as a much more heavy lifting machine and to me the way it was meant to be viewed. Now being a crane guy I have seen it configured in many ways but this wind turbine look does not give it justice, unless you build the size of turbine the 13000 Mammoet builds it in what Liebherr has on their main page. In closing Paul I'm not sure if you have shone pics of your crane room yet or if it is still in the making but if and when it is introduced I will be most looking forward to viewing it on his forum!

Nice work Paul, the little small details really make the difference. Pity conrad don't do it though. Are the lifting points actually sprayed white just on the left on the real machine?

Sam,
Yes they are, which is why I did it. I didn't notice at first but on closer inspection I saw it.

I wonder if the white on the weights is for quick ID of a left vs. right counterweight. Also Paul, the wagenborg is definitely one of the best 500s to date. And the black on the boom looks terrific!

Paul where do the reg plates go on the back i want to add mine tonight, i think it was good enough for wagenborg because if you remember the kavanagh crane paul worked very close with conrad until all the decal detail was perfect like the real one.
regards gus.

It goes on the left side but you need to cut out a piece of plastic, paint it black and glue to the bumper. The decal is not the correct one exactly as it should be almost square, but I carefully cut mine in half and then applied it.  Next time I order some decals, I'm going to get the one made that goes on the arm where the cab swings out. Paul R

Interesting that WSI produced the LTF 1060 by MSG on a Scania Truck, while the 1060 by HKV is on Mercedes truck. I never buy two of the same model regardless of the color scheme, but this is different enough that I may have to add it to my MSG. thanks for posting the photos.

Today I received my LTM 1350-6.1 in the livery of Mammoet. There has been some bad experiences of this model for some people, especially with the Liebherr factory version, but thankfully my experience so far is positive. I have not completely rigged it yet but I have test fitted most parts and there seems to be no issues that I can find. In fact, I am blown away by this model. Detail is amazing, even down to the warning labels. I think it has a good weight to it and looks incredible.        The only thing I can think of that I would have liked to have seen is an intermediate sized hook block, maybe 3-4 sheaves. Paul R

Paul, although I am new to this forum I have followed your collection for some time and it is truly amazing. Your photography skills are superb and many a time I have been able to look over your photos while my version of the model was making its trek across the Atlantic. The Mammoet LTM1350 is no exception and it has certainly helped ease the wait. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hi Paul, I hope you're having a great weekend. I was wondering if you would be able to tell me where you obtained the pin lift for the counterweights. It looks fantastic and it would be great for the 1350 as well as my 11200s. Thanks, take care and all the best.

Chandler,
The pin lift came from someone at the Modelleshow Europe in 2011. A guy from Germany made them but I don't know if he still does.
