MOC - City scale Liebherr LTR1100 tracked crane

[Baas]

Hi all, I have made a new account for myself, since the previous name was bit silly.

I have started building again and would like to share my latest MOC.

At first I really wanted to be a fully functional and playable model, but it ended up with a brittle, only for display one.

I chose looks over playability. There are some features though, the cab can be tilted, the boom is extendable and also the tracks can be widened by 2 studs like on the real thing.

I have always wanted to try the light bluish gray track links and think they are way better than the black ones. And since the tracks were lbg, I chose the overall color to be white.

I really need to invest in a camera and take some lessons. You guys have amazing photos, mine are quite meh, and dont give the real feel of the model.

Anyway, here are some pics:

And here is my first city scale (almost accurate) Liebherr model:

Thanks for your positive feedback guys!

I have trouble deciding what to build next, any ideas? :D

I'm starting to gain interest in trains, but those sets are so expensive to start with, and I haven't got room for a layout :D
