Re: Manitowoc 4100W 1/25
Got it out of the box!
I was asked to display it in the local community center for a while, so I rigged it up in Ringer configuration.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
Thanks for the comment, but there is some play for sure and the 2 rear axles are a bit out of line. They steer a bit too much to one side, but I will adjust that later.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Re: American 7260 crawler crane

Weight is related to volume.
Dimensions are in a certain scale, then areas are in this scale to the 2nd power and volume to the 3rd power.
Does this make sense?

Re: Manitowoc 4100W 1/25
