Wolfgang!! wonderful crane!!!

I haven't seen this one before. Super work all around. I can see why you have to operate it outdoors! I like the all metal construction. I reminds me somewhat of the modern tower cranes. I assume it will rotate and have operating drums and all, huh? Great piece of machinery. Dan

Hello all,

next parts:

[RoadFlyer]

Really nice job. I didn't see any but I suspect you are going to have outriggers so it will not topple over in high winds. Can't wait to see it finished.

What a machine!

Looks really good and seems to work well too.

Your model making skills are great, looking forward to seeing more.

**** all,

the chassis of the sitting room is nearly finished.

A simple suspension gives a little comfort by racing over the highway, lol







pipe for the heating:



the roof is made in corrugated iron
