Re: my try at a doosan loader
Nice job on the loader. In the video you mentioned the hydraulic pump was for a plane fuel system. Who makes the pump and are there different sizes? What about the valves?
thanks.

Re: Floating lemniscate crane
That is a very exceptional model with excellent detail! I've seen barge mounted, pedestal cranes on the Ohio River but nothing as big as this. It's just awesome. Hope you can do some videos soon....

Re: AM General M35a2 1:16
Very nice work! I also drove one during my Army days and they were fun until you went off-road. Then they busted your butt! Some of the hardest riding trucks I've been on. Good job!

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane
Your video of mast raising was great! You have kept faithful to prototypical speeds and it looks just like the real thing.
Awesome job!
