October 24, 20159 yr Author Update: Finally, all the hoses for the active suspension are mounted and routed. I can work on the main deck and mudguards. Superstructure is almost done. Inner boom sections still to come. Back section (where the engine and radiator is on the real machine) will be a deck for a BB, receivers and compressor unit. Hoses are already there. gray for front axle, black for 2 back axles. Initially I wanted to have each wheel independently controlled, but at the end, i would have to have six switches.
October 25, 20159 yr Author Thanks Kman! Short video of the single cabin feature. It has extendible walking grill and slideable door and inside is hidden motor for tilting the whole cabine when it is up in the air. Please note that custom stickers (black thin windows frames) are just a mock ups. If the time allows, I will make fully fitting ones on my comp. Dashboard of the cabin is actually printed 3 piece dashboard from the real LTC crane.
October 27, 20159 yr What is this wizardry? On a more serious note, only five days till the deadline, will that be enough for you to finish or not?
October 27, 20159 yr Author I like this crane more every time I see something new Me too :) Thanks, man! What is this wizardry? On a more serious note, only five days till the deadline, will that be enough for you to finish or not? :) Yes, but most probably I will have to give up my "advance" 4 section boom, which should have been a star of the show. I just dont have the time to implement it properly. So probably it will be done on time, just with regular boom.
October 27, 20159 yr Yes, but most probably I will have to give up my "advance" 4 section boom, which should have been a star of the show. I just dont have the time to implement it properly. So probably it will be done on time, just with regular boom. I'm anxious to see the results :)
October 27, 20159 yr This will be a epic entry, nice work Milan I truly hope and believe that you get it finished on time
October 28, 20159 yr Not finishing on time would be like realizing your chocolate cake was expired the day after it went bad :laugh:
October 28, 20159 yr Ooh, that is a nifty sliding door and step you have there. I also like how the interior is so detailed, I plan on doing the same with my Liebherr's cabin. ~John
November 1, 20159 yr Author Hey guys, thanks for all the nice comments! Few hours till the deadline, it is finished... I will just post a few photos, video is uploading and will set alarm to wake me up to post it in the entry topic. Full review and description tomorrow. Apparently, it attracts girls with puppies. Also, great for a size comparison :)
November 1, 20159 yr Milan, it looks really really good!! But would have have done anything different or added anything if you had more time??
November 1, 20159 yr Nice photos and crane Milan... Very good work... :) And BTW... that's taller on the left side is the 1.st prize in contest? :P Max...
November 1, 20159 yr Wowzers, just look at that amazing puppy! I mean crane Seriously though it looks so clean and life-like! Dont forget the video too!
November 1, 20159 yr Wow, that really is massive! For a second there I was wondering where the cabin for driving was. Awesome job Milan! ~John
November 2, 20159 yr Author Thanks guys! Milan, it looks really really good!! But would have have done anything different or added anything if you had more time?? Yeah, i needed around 2 more weeks. Main thing, advance 4 section boom design and 2 jib sections. Also, some cosmetic touches. Nice photos and crane Milan... Very good work... :) And BTW... that's taller on the left side is the 1.st prize in contest? :P Max... I sure hope so! Anyway, video is here: Some parts of the video are speed up.
November 2, 20159 yr Great crane, very true to the original! Good luck for the contest Apparently, it attracts girls with puppies. Can we get instructions please?
November 2, 20159 yr Author Amazing. Wonderful work, seriously well done! Thanks a lot, Nick! Lowering of the outriggers is manually? Yes, since i wanted to save one function in that way. Crane can lower itself and outriggers sits on the supports i place beneath them (like a worker put wooden support pads under the real one) Stunning MOC!! Well done Thanks, mate! Can we get instructions please? It seems that size did the trick :)
November 2, 20159 yr Great looking entry, definitely a unique crane. I am intrigued by the mechanisms you used to have the different steering modes as well as the actuator to raise the boom. Also curious about the structure of the two stage boom. Any chance we could see some close up pictures of these components? Tim
