Awesome work! Must have taken a lot of work to get all those rods adjusted to the proper lengths so all those wheel sets will turn to different radiuses simultaneously. Were you able to scale off your drawings or did you have to calculate all of them?

Will the mobile crane be able to transport the boom trailer, or is there going to be a tow-rig for that?

*looks at your crane, back at my crane, at your crane again* Maybe it's a good thing i don't have better tools yet... i don't think i could handle this much awesome.
the crane could tow the trailer, but it gets very long and is rarely done. I am still thinking what to make to pull the trailer.

This pictures shows the counterweights and 4 boom sections of the Demag on the trailer:

And here with a boom section of the Liebherr LTM1800:

Done!
It took me about 4 years altogether!
I spent the summer painting it. This was quite a time consuming job, taking it all apart and spray painting every part, then putting it together again.

Exquisite craftsmanship Kerst :cool:

Do you ever do weight lifting tests with your model cranes?

I did. This crane lifts more than it is supposed to do. The whole crane turned out to be a bit heavier that it should be, but that results in better capacities. The extra weight is useful when erecting the full 10' of boom.

Kerst, as usual, you have made an unbelievable operating model! Excellent planning, workmanship and detail...just awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing it at Cabin Fever.
