    It seems we are witness of another great scale modeler coming to be! Curious though, do you test the mechanical elements before you engineer them in ldd? Or is it all based on experience?

    Images of the most demanding structures :)

    Thanks guys! I will see to make some detailed pictures/ldraw thingies of the mechanical functions, hope to have them in a week or so.

    Awesome small model, really like the intricate bodywork. Job well done

    That looks very clean!

    Thank you all :). I will make a video when I find a suitable place to shoot it, giving quite a challenge with a model this size.

    September 2013 the first WIP picture of my crane was uploaded, now 3,5 years later I dare to say the model is finished. In all these years I have faced a lot of technical challenges with this model, thought most of them are solved a few remain annoying (steering and drive). In the end I consider the model done and decided to learn from the not fully working features to improve on in later builds. Other tough challenges that were beaten in this model are: Fully capable outriggers that lift the complete model of its axles, Lift of the boom using a brick build linear actuator, fitting tens of meters of wire in the model to power all the led's. A full list of the features can be found at the end of the post. Even though I consider myself quite a purist a few elements of this model are not from TLC. For control the model uses 5 sbrick's together with a custom profile, enabling all the rc features I needed with a good signal . Since the PF led's are way to expensive and dull I decided to solder my own led's with the right color and a good brightness. The stickers are supplied by JaapTechnic. More pictures can be found on my flickr Full road configuration with 14.4 tons of ballast weight. The spreader plates are stored on the back. All the light are controlled by the Sbricks, this includes the indicators, beacons and reversing lights. Yes this actually lifts. With the jib mounted the piston is able to erect the then 1.7 meter boom to full height. Fully erected the model stands 2.6 meters tall. Even though the model faces a lot of technical challenges all of the details are added including full interior in both cabins. Full feature list. Motorized functions: Drive, Steering, Outriggers front and back, Compressor for the outriggers, Slewing, Boom lift, Boom extension, Winch, Cabin lift. Light functions: Normal driving lights, indicators, hazard lights, beacons, reversing lights, working lights on the superstructure. Other functions: All cabin doors open, Openable storage doors on the back, Full suspension, Folding jib with multiple angles, Folding safety railing.

    It's fun how the master of alternate colors is the first the react.... All that aside, I love the white rollcage around!

    Do the pipes need to be functional? Otherwise a piece of metal wire inside the wire is a good way to bent them.

    That looks great! Thinking of making a crawler crane myself now.....

    Really nice! also fancinated by the gearbox structure, maybe a video bout that?

    This looks great! im very pleased that my build was able to inspire others to build something totally there own :).

    Thanks for the open and honest review! I really enjoyed reading it, and especially like the black rims
  14. dikkie klijn
    Looking goooood Any hint for the insparation?
  15. dikkie klijn
    For my Liebherr I have to use a XL motor for the compressor which uses almost the same setup.... But then again there I have to lift close to 5 kilograms
  16. dikkie klijn
    But the old one is basically compatible with the pf system, just use an extension wire.
  17. dikkie klijn
    I added just the ones you showed from pages 71 and 72, are there more pieces missing then? EDIT: just uploaded the file to rebrickable :)
  18. dikkie klijn
    Aah found it! But if i Import a new list does the whole parts list get replaced by that file?
  19. dikkie klijn
    Looking good! the anti roll bar is a nice addition, but don't u think it is a bit to stiff? Maybe it would be better to get rid of the connector in the middle and use 1 long axle instead?
  20. dikkie klijn
    I just adjusted the brickstore file, just need to contact the guy from Rebrickable to update the list there.
  21. dikkie klijn
    Looking good , And yes the missing parts :o. Someone reminded me a while back but I totally forgot . Busy times, I will address it as soon as possible!
  22. dikkie klijn
    Looking very good! Wonder how it would stand next to my own mclaren
  23. dikkie klijn
    Truly impressive!
  24. dikkie klijn
    Truly amazing!!
  25. dikkie klijn
    No because without a switch the L motor lets the output shafts of the subtractor turn in the same direction as the xl's would
