With a short boom it should lift around 20 lbs max, but with the max boom that will be reduced to a couple of pounds I think. Kerst |

This is one of the most eye catching parts, and it definitely is going to do that!! As always kerst, your work is above and beyond. Keep the pics coming.

As usual, a giant step toward great detail with excellent craftsmanship. That's a lot of parts to keep in alignment while soldering!

I used this setup for the soldering and I prefabricated the hinge points, brazing pieces of steel together. Kerst |

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
The past couple of months I worked on the boom. By now most of it is ready. I am still working on the head and there are many details to be done, like the rigging, etc.
This morning I took the basic boom and fitted it to the crane for the very first time and it fits like a glove. That is a relief! Kerst |

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
Very nice. I see you didn't add any extra counter weight. Where you able to boom up from zero degrees?

I have 2 more boom sections to add, turning it into 10' of main boom. Then I guess I will need some counterweights. Kerst |

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
I finished the remaining pendants and rigged her up with 72 meters of boom. This turns into about 10' for the scale model. It needed 7 lbs of extra weights on the back to raise the boom. Otherwise it worked fine. I am pleased with the result. When finished the counterweights will be around 5 lbs, so I will need to make the extra outriggers on the back for raising the boom.
This is how the extra outriggers will look like: Kerst |
