[HELP] Small extending boom

[jgw]

Hey guys,

Last days I've really been struggling. The problem is an extending boom. It needs to be as small as possible, like the base boom 3x3 max. I know it is fairly simple, but I could nothing make to work. I looked at the actros outtriggers, but that thing is ugly red, which doesn't fit at all in my Scania.

So, if possible, could someone share ideas for a boom with:

-1 stage extending, 3 studs minimal,

-as small as possible, the base boom max. 3x3

-black or lbg

-optional, worm gear driven, or the driveshat alligned with the boom

Many thanks!

Thanks for such a fast reply, but i think it is not what I'm looking for. I guess I was not clear enough in my post, but I need the base boom to be 3x3. I will edit it.
