Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to Jim and Milan. I enjoyed the building a lot and I would never expect more than a few votes. It was my first studless build ever and the other great entries also inspired me a lot. I will certainly remember some techniques used by contestants to create their stunning models. Can't wait for TC9 (I know it will appear soon on the forum). Thank you for the support you gave me as a new member.

It has to be strong enough to hold the extended boom with some load.You must reinforce it heavily and most likely add some rollers in the front, it doesn't tilt on the turntable when there's load on the boom and it should have a good counterweight (like the battery box)

Hi everyone, here my entry for the TC8 contest- a custom 6-axle mobile crane. It is not a copy of an existing crane. Motorized functions: -slewing (M-Motor) -extending the 2-section boom (XL-Motor) -raising/lowering the hook (XL-Motor) -pneumatic pump/extending the counterweight (L-Motor through a manual gearbox) Pneumatic functions: -raising the arm (two large cylinders) -opening cabin's roof (small cylinder) Manual & other: -stabilizers (controlled independently, they lock in position) -opening doors -V12 piston engine driven by axles 3 and 4 I know that the superstructure looks very rough, but I had no time to finish it. However, all functions work great. Video
