Hello and Welcome!

Thanks! See ya around!

I am collecting blue parts for a truck also. Great truck and blue fits it perfectly!

He was banned almost a year ago.

Hope you will get that Corvette before you go to college! And congrats for being able to drive that car :)

My best cousin had Brako trailer. We went together with families to the vacation, when I was a kid. I even slept few times there :) Great model!

Welcome to EB!

Great way to make introduction! Have fun on forums!

A bit late, but Welcome!

I love your design, using mostly older parts!

I did not expect to see Stojadin here :) When I was a kid, that car ruled the roads in Yugoslavia (today-Serbia), it was manufactured in our industrial city of Kragujevac. First thing I noted here are tail lights, which are perfectly captured. Rest of the car is awesome as well, especially the interior! My only critic would be somewhat higher roof, and short back part of the body, after the back wheel. Otherwise-Great model!

Cool video! And great machine!

Can you post a picture of that actuator you built? Or the whole setup if you tried it?

I used this brick built actuators, with some friction, but practically indestructible, for massive excavator. They worked really good. Compact and slim. Dont have instructions though, but have some pictures on the brickshelf. They were used for the main boom of the excavator, also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI-o7h7Uh9o

Welcome!

Welcome SW fan!

Welcome! Interesting thoughts.

Welcome to EB! Have fun!

No, original crane of her has suspension just on front and middle axle. Front axle is pendular type, and middle one is independed type (I am amazed how much i remembered from her site and crane ) For the ranking, I would say that there are probably better cranes than this, but many people were very influenced by her work. This crane was very ahead of its time, and it looks and performs in a very realistic manner.

1. Yes, third axle is fixed. Since front and middle axles has suspension, crane would not have enough stability without fixed axle. 2. It means that all four outriggers are driven from one motor. BUT, motor is in the middle, and it drives two rubber bands, each for its side of the outriggers. And each side of the outriggers is synchronized, meaning that they will deploy at the same time, AND they are connected by rubber bands, so if in some case one side is not fully extended compared to another, they will get back in sync after the motor gets them in extreme position, either all the way up or down.
