Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
At the cabin Fever Expo in Lebanon, PA I had the chance to use the Demag TC500 to erect the luffing jib of the Liebherr LTM1800.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
I managed to get the paint job done during the Thanksgiving break and put it all together for testing. There is one back stop missing.
Here it is fitted with the fixed jib:...

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
I decided to make the luffing jib as well and I am almost done. Only the pendants need to be made.

Re: Euclid R-62 dump truck
I did some work on the Euc. I installed a Mabuchi 555 12V DC Motor, which seems to have sufficient power for this truck. And I built a temporary reduction box, so that I can drive it around and get a...

Re: Euclid R-62 dump truck
Small update on the Euc.
I didn’t have much time lately for a variety of reasons, including a bad cold that kept on coming back.
But I managed to get the drive shafts done. I installed 2...

I made good progress with the cab and the hood. The difficulty is finding the right measurements, but I think I am close. It starts looking like a big mean truck!...
