CranesEtc.co.uk, a great place for ideas.

A long, long time ago, I stumbled across the great site called Cranes Etc. It's a site that reviews models of construction vehicles, as the name implies, and I've seen some fun stuff to build here.

I really like this site because the pictures of the models are really good, and they do some things with the models that is not often shown with the real vehicles. Also, there are some uncommon vehicles and configurations that are hard to find pictures of in the first place.

Some of my favorites:

Mammoet PTC Crane

Goldhofer AST-1 X 1360 Aircraft Tractor

Peterbilt 379 with Nelson 3x3x3 Trailer

Terex AC 1000 Mobile Crane (My current project )

Isn't this stuff cool? I think you should check out this site if you need inspiration.

That Terex is awesome! The AC700 has been on my list of things I want to build for several years. I'll probably never get around to building one.

Saberwing, you should do a wip thread about the crane.

Someone should do it. I started on one in minifig size but failed to complete it for Brickfete. I like how the cab can raise up and down.

I would hate to get an AC 1000 bogged, we had to dig out the AC300 once, that was hard enough.

There are A LOT of functions in it.
