I like the look of those outriggers. I've always liked your builds, I'm curious about this one.

Hmm, looks very clean, Im looking forward for the rest. Nice work

[kisper]

Always a fan :)

Can't wait for the final product !

[Lakop]

Your outrigger set up is great. That is the hardest thing for me at the moment but hoping to find a solution, I prefer pneumatics for outriggers myself. I look forward to the completed model.

Seems very good and strong so far, it reminds me the 8292 truck for some reason, maybe the scale but this one seems that will be bigger; looking forward for more pics and again, nice work.

A Kenworth and a crane, interesting combination. Great work on the outriggers, should be awesome as always.

[Kman860]

This one looks very promising and interesting

[TheItalianBrick]

[Kristof]

This is turning out very nice! Looking forward to see more updates :)

[efferman]

The Rear axles are prototypical done. Changes on this are highly possible

So many Mini LAs! As others said its very clean and good looking. Why did you tie some U joints?

[efferman]

The U joints are broken and in this way i can use them

[Lucio Switch]

The premises are really good! Very compact and clean design! I'm very curious to see what will come out!

[Rishab N]

This is looking like a really good start. The outriggers look very nice

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

Very nice, this is going to be one amazing crane truck. Yes there are indeed enough mini LA's, why not... Nice to see that for example the steered rear axle pops up again. Reusing ideas is just a great thing, that is how we evolve... Great!!!

I have used small"o" rings with success on broken UJ,s

"O"ring size:- - 1mm x 8mm o.d. x 4mm i.d

Looks like a good idea with these rubber rings

What do you think about this front?

Perfect match to the back section of the truck.

Doors wont be openable?

Can you post a front view of the cabin? I am thinking, how it would look if you replace red1x2 thin liftarm above the headlights with the white ones.

[Zerobricks]

Thats foxy! Nice use of studded details, looks just like from the movie!

[efferman]

Actually iam mostly on the shape, on the second revision openable doors will come.

[Imanol BB]

very nice, the cabin looks like optimus prime in tranformers 4, i like it.
