Posted July 7, 20195 yr I started to build my Liebherr LTM 1200-5-1 on base of the Lego model 42009. If anyone is interested i will post here foto's and info,
July 7, 20195 yr Certainly we are interested, but if it is work in progress, please change topics title into V.I.P. Lego LTM 1200-5-1 Regards
July 7, 20195 yr Author The first step was to discover the scale. With the measures of the tyres the scale was around 1:24. So i had to change the axle distance and the wide of the undercarriage.
July 7, 20195 yr Author  Changing the axle distance By the way i need some help to post bigger foto's.Â

(It seems like my fingers are to fat or to big for mobile phone keyboard...and not to mention Google autocorrect that makes me bigger idiot than I am...) Thanks for idea Marek @Arjan de Jong a d @dunes it sould be W.I.P (Work In Progress) and not V.I.P (Very Important Person) Edited July 8, 20195 yr by I_Igor
July 8, 20195 yr I would certainly be interested in more photos and perhaps even a video. No matter how many renditions of these cranes there are, they never get old, at least not for me. Love that you are also actually using blueprints and scaling metrics. Yours looks very promising.

Agree cranes are something special when you see this monster on the road tempts you to replicate it in Lego... IMHO most realistic Moc can only be done using blueprints because in calculations sooner or later you miscalculate (your self)Â
July 8, 20195 yr Author By the way i need some help to post bigger foto's. This was the first difficult part. I had to make the base smaller.
July 8, 20195 yr Author Here is the base of the crane with the right wide and the right axle distances. There wil be more details.
July 13, 20195 yr Author Building the upperstructure I put the winch to the back of the uppertcarrier The cabin Putting things together The ballastplate with the batterybox
July 13, 20195 yr Author Upperstructure with ballast and batterybox Put some details on the crane: mirrors and walkways
July 13, 20195 yr Looking good. Keep posting updates. I am sure I will have more to say with more pics.
July 14, 20195 yr Author Now the cabin has legal connections Some details on the back Looks like a crane already Comparrising to the original model 42009 Still changing details to make it look like the real crane
July 14, 20195 yr Great design but why do the outriggers stick up "a middle finger" I can't find this at the original.
July 14, 20195 yr Author Still changing details to make it look like the real crane Making the boom... Some more details ladder and tilting cab Hookblock, not 100% Lego but it fits well Mirrors at the drivingcab Some details on the front Details on the back Extra steps and warning stripes
July 20, 20195 yr Author Some details. After about 140 houres work the crane is almost ready. The beasic model has around 2600 pieces. My version is abot 4300 pieces.
July 20, 20195 yr Impressive crane...I would never thought that you put extra 1700 parts at (approximately) similar size. (Specially when I concentrate on using as less as possible parts in my mocs)
