Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

[Southgate 1]

Hey Kerst, again it's been a while for me. Not that I didn't want to. I couldn't log in, have exhausted every possible password, no joy. Had to change my user name slightly and re-register!

The crane is looking fantastic, the new components are great too. That thing's lifting capacity, it's a MONSTER! Those blocks and hooks still amaze me, just so beautiful. And the paint on the counterweights and lifts sure helps bring it all together.

I haven't tested the lifting capacity of mine. Chicken, I guess. I don't know what will give first, and can foresee horrible wreckage.

Great work! Dan

I had to come back for another look. Good stuff! Where did you get your shackles, or did you make them? Dan

Thanks!
I bought the shackles from amazon, ha, ha! They are Steel D Shaped Shackles, 5/32" (4mm) thick, 5/16" (9mm) inside diameter.
