BusterHaus Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 jeanska79, thanks for sharing your build. It's fun to see the small changes in the build and the motorization. I agree that the rotating structure tends to bend slightly when lifting heavy loads. The small turntable isn't really suited for the job, but I think it's alright as a proof of concept. I also considered putting in a dynamic ballast into the rotating structure, but that would have changed the aesthetics for the worse. There isn't much space inside for a moving counter weight, so it would stick out and look out of place. I am considering building another crawler crane in the future and incorporating these improvements into it, possibly even motorized. It will have to wait as Lego's new crane looks like a great upgrade from my model, and I have a few other projects in the pipeline. Quote
jeanska79 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 However a great C model! And THX very much for the instruction,really great! Hope to seen soon news from your genius! Quote
gvo25 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 great alternative model, I think I'll buy the 42038 just to build the crawler crane. Quote
Dave21 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 I build this great model in Black and Yellow, since I don´t own the 42038 (yet). Thanks goes to Busterhaus for the very good instructions . All pictures are deep linked to the high resolution images on my Brickshelf. Dave Quote
Dave21 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Sorry to bump this topic, but I thought I must share this here. The crawler crane in to different colors, the original orange version next to my yellow version. A few more picture can be found on Bricksafe. Another thanks to Busterhaus for the great model with instructions! Dave Quote
BusterHaus Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 You're welcome. It's fun to see it in other colours. Quote
Dave21 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 It's fun to see it in other colours. Thanks, but I do not plan to build it in a third color. Quote
