Manitowoc 18000
 

Finally starting a build thread and its a Manitowoc 18000 Crawler Crane. I started this project a bout 10 yrs ago and the first go at it was out of wood but the elements were not nice to the project, so now I will attempt to 3D print in PLA. Scale is going to be 1:14.5 so we will see how this goes it will probably take a good while until completion but I will post pics on updated progress.

Long time since I have updated my post. I have since switched gears and Redesigned the crane and started to print the Whole thing with my D printers as the detail would be far better and less time consuming. Here are some of the design images https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1Q...L1_NDLnNH3hve2
