Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
Testing the LTM1800 with derrick.
I rigged the crane this weekend and did the first testing. The object was a 22 Lbs chuck. Luckily nothing broke, but I was surprised at the amount of movement in the carrier and the outriggers. The video gives an impression. (Watch the dial at the foot outrigger) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHOLo...sd5Gjg&index=2 Here some pictures of the setup. Although I took care of a lot of details, there is still work left. Kerst |

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
I did some final details, like the chains for lifting the boom to self-install it. I found some decent chain, classified as jewelry, but it works fine for this purpose. The cylinder doesn't work and that is no real problem. It limits the horizontal movement a bit.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
Most of the painting is done. It took a long time, partly due to lack of time, but also to the bad weather. I did all the spraying on a bench outside and although it was covered the wind and the rain had free play. I re-assembled the carrier and the upper, but I still need to do all the warning stripes.
Overall I am very happy with the colors. I found the RAL codes of the Sarens colors and managed to find a US company that made spray paints according to the RAL colors and they are correct. After my vacation I will finish all the detailing. Kerst |

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
Progress is slow; it is just too hot in my workshop and too many distractions, but I did make some progress. The outriggers are ready, the boom is ready and next is the are the windows for the cabs, then i will put it all together and see if it still works.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
Wow, what a beast of a model. It looks massive just sitting on the shelf, in transportation mode. What kind of flex did your dial indicator show? About .005"? If so, that's really not much.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
I decided to use this trailer to transport the boom. It is the counterweight trailer for the Krupp 180GMT and is scale 1/20, but the difference is hardly noticeable. I used some timber to raise the supports for the boom.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
I started a little project for the LTM 1800. I anyway need a box for storing screws, pins, shackles, tools, etc. so I decided to do what the big boys do and use a 20' container. I am making it out of AL and although it looks like a simple project, it still needed some thinking and planning. But I thoroughly enjoy this little project.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
Wow, Kerst. It's been a while since I've checked in, and I must say you have been busy. Those colors look great, as does all the progress on the model. A scale container to carry parts in; great idea! Dan
