Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Kerst, I have a question for you. I have seen your crane run on Youtube. It runs great, but I noticed you don't have variable speed control. Is that something you'd be interested in doing, and have...

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

There are some interesting parallels goin' on here. I've been on my crane for 6 years, I am at about the same stage of completion, and, I sometimes stare at it, especially against strong back light....

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

It's quite a process, isn't it! I just spent last night remotoring one of my drums, and turning an internal piece that mounts them better and doing other little tweaks to improve operation. So I know...

Re: 140H Grader

I am just discovering this project. I first opened to the last page and saw the finished product. I thought it was all metal. My wife asked if it was a scratchbuilt model. I went back and am so...

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane

Hi gents! It's been a while, but I have gotten some more done on this project. I got the bright idea of putting lights in this while at a doll house supply shop, where I go to get brass hinges and...

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

I just caught up with this project again. That boom looks great so far. Lotsa fitting and such. Patience pays off, huh?

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane

Re: IH 350B Payhauler Truck

Awesome project! And I thought the 1/25 models were impressive. This is an amazing build. (as are so many on this forum) You certainly have the credentials and research down. Dan

Re: 5 ton brass/copper build

Amazing work. I love how different metals look against each other at this stage of a build like this. (Of which there aren't many) Dan

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane

Nathan, for cutting styrene, you spin the cutter SLOW. You have to be able to see it turning, not a blur of speed. I use it to make duplicate strips. It's so easy to get it off when cutting, say a...

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Jared, The 16v was the only engine I could find that looked proportional, except some super expensive resin models that I haven't seen in person. I thought the twin...

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane

It's been a while since I posted any new progress, since I usually give the indoor hobbies the summer off. But I did get in the mood to bonk on some steel, and made a front bumper from 3/8x1" steel...

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Amazing stuff, Kerst. Serious machinery here, and working in 1/24 scale only makes it that much more impressive. I watched the video. I've always loved the look of the reeving on 1/1 cranes, and...

Re: 5 ton brass/copper build

Yeah, that looks like you have about 5 tons of brass and copper into it! Just beautiful fabrication throughout. Dan

Even if you're not sure about that 235 ton block, the craftsmanship on it is just beautiful.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Exiting, I'll say!!!! It's a rush to see a well designed and engineered piece of machinery work for the first time, isn't it? Great work so far. Just unbeleivable. Dan

Re: Another Unit Crane

Hey, Stuff, I'm intrigued by this radio. My crane's upper unit requires 5 channels, and I have a 4 and a 2 channel radio(s), but I would like to run on a single radio rather than juggling two at a...

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane

With the new "whipline" drum added to the upper unit, the other end of the boom needed some attention. Some lugs were added to the tip of the boom. These were...
