Milan Posted October 24, 2015 Author Posted October 24, 2015 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. Quote
Milan Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 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. Quote
Kman860 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I like this crane more every time I see something new Quote
Epic Technic Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 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? Quote
Milan Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 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. Quote
Epic Technic Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 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 :) Quote
MacKaiwer Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 This will be a epic entry, nice work Milan I truly hope and believe that you get it finished on time Quote
Kman860 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Not finishing on time would be like realizing your chocolate cake was expired the day after it went bad :laugh: Quote
John Daniels Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 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 Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 This is going to be so massive... Quote
Milan Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 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 :) Quote
aminnich Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Milan, it looks really really good!! But would have have done anything different or added anything if you had more time?? Quote
MaxSupercars Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 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... Quote
Zerobricks Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Wowzers, just look at that amazing puppy! I mean crane Seriously though it looks so clean and life-like! Dont forget the video too! Quote
John Daniels Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Wow, that really is massive! For a second there I was wondering where the cabin for driving was. Awesome job Milan! ~John Quote
Kman860 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Nothing better than attracting girls with puppies...I mean great crane :laugh: Quote
Milan Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 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. Quote
Nick Barrett Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Amazing. Wonderful work, seriously well done! Quote
efferman Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Lowering of the outriggers is manually? Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Great crane, very true to the original! Good luck for the contest Apparently, it attracts girls with puppies. Can we get instructions please? Quote
Milan Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 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 :) Quote
timslegos Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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 Quote
