Welcome ^^

The best guess is something like 9 or 10,000 pieces (I have not an exact number), and the jumpsuits was a gift from the organizer of the event at the museum. Thanks! Yes, all booms (the super-lift, the main boom and the jibb really lifts on it own. The first step is to lift the super-lift with help of the yellow A-frame, then attach the super-lift to the counterweight-plattform behind the crane and then finally very very slowly lift the main boom and jibb.

Hi all! I thought I share something I have been working on for a long time now. This is probably the fourth generation of my crawler crane. Overall the project has been ongoing for several years. The total height about 5,5 meters. The weight is not checked, but the counterweights adds up to quit lot as there are consisting of lead bullets for the superstructure and steel plates as the central counter and for the extra counterweight platform connected to the super life. The lifting capacity is somewhere between 10-20 kg, maybe more. Have not tried to test is more. The drive for the crawler band consists of 4 XL-motors, 2 XL motors are used to rotate the superstructure and a total of 5 XL motors drive all the rope drums. Everything is controlled via PF, and power comes via a transformer that leaves 12 V (ie more than the motors running normally, but it actually works well anyway). The entire model is just like real life cranes composed of different modules to simplify transport and storage, and to enable it to be set up in different configurations. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67685578@N04/6313390746/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/67685578@N04/6312868981/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/67685578@N04/6313388600/in/photostream I have more pictures on my flickr and older pictures on my now closed Brickshelf-account. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=413077

Om det inte hade varit så långt bort skulle jag gärna kommit... :( Helst då med min stora technic-kran också, som är under konstruktion (14 motorer och 2,5 meter hög). Det hade ju passat bra under temat "Bära eller brista" xD

Can you post a link to the video, please? :-)

I can't wait to get my paws on this dozer! :-$ The new motors look very interesting and I It will be fun to see which possibilities they have in any future MOC:s.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! *gives another hug* I just uploaded lots of new pictures to my BrickShelf-folder, so be sure to check it out! There are newer pictures of my crawler crane, it has grown quite a lot since I took the old one... ;-) And, no I don't drink red bull, I'm just happy with some coffee when I

Hallo everyone! I have been reading here for a while and thought it is about time I register. ;-) My name is Rasmus Hansson, is 26 years old and live in southern Sweden with my two cats in an apartment that is too small for any big lego constructions. Ever since before my dark age I have always had an interest in Technic models and besides from some other sets, I spend most of my lego-money on BrickLink. :-) Some old pictures in my BS-gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=Hazelrah *hugs*
