[WIP] Liebherr LTM 1200-5-1

[Arjan de Jong]

I started to build my Liebherr LTM 1200-5-1 on base of the Lego model 42009. If anyone is interested i will post here foto's and info,

[1gor]

Certainly we are interested, but if it is work in progress, please change topics title into V.I.P.  Lego LTM 1200-5-1

The first step was to discover the scale. With the measures of the tyres the scale was around 1:24. So i had to change the axle distance and the wide of the undercarriage.

 Changing the axle distance 

By the way i need some help to post bigger foto's.

You have to host them on a other website, such as bricksafe and then insert image from Url.

I would certainly be interested in more photos and perhaps even a video. No matter how many renditions of these cranes there are, they never get old, at least not for me.  Love that you are also actually using blueprints and scaling metrics.  Yours looks very promising.

Agree cranes are something special when you see this monster on the road tempts you to replicate it in Lego... IMHO most realistic Moc can only be done using blueprints because in calculations sooner or later you miscalculate (your self)

This was the first difficult part. I had to make the base smaller.

[Arjan de Jong]

Here is the base of the crane with the right wide and the right axle distances. There wil be more details.

Looks promising

Put some details on the crane: mirrors and walkways

Looking good.  Keep posting updates.  I am sure I will have more to say with more pics.

Holy illegal connections Batman, that cabin is scary

[Arjan de Jong]

Now the cabin has legal connections

Some details on the back

Looks like a crane already

Comparrising to the original model 42009

Still changing details to make it look like the real crane

[Bartybum]

Hell yeah this thing looks sick. Keep it up

[coinoperator]

Great design but why do the outriggers stick up "a middle finger"
I can't find this at the original.

Making the boom...

Some more details ladder and tilting cab

Hookblock, not 100% Lego but it fits well

Mirrors at the drivingcab

Some details on the front

Details on the back

Extra steps and warning stripes

Putting the boom into place

Cilinder to lift the boom manualy

Some details. After about 140 houres work the crane is almost ready. The beasic model has around 2600 pieces. My version is abot 4300 pieces.

Impressive crane...I would never thought that you put extra 1700 parts at (approximately) similar size.

(Specially when I concentrate on using as less as possible parts in my mocs)
