Red and black are no-brainers; white and orange should also be feasible since the boom can be redesigned to work with standard 3x11 curved panels. Probably at least one of the ten billion azures out there, too. Not sure about dark blue yet - that'd be my choice, with white accents, crab steering and a three-stage boom. What about a Champion Crane scheme, with blue cabin section, grey chassis and yellow operator's cab and boom? That'd be cool. Quote
AVCampos Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 That sounds more like a Classic Space colour scheme. Not that there's anything wrong with that, on the contrary! Quote

The corvette has the 3x11 10 hole panels in orange, so no redesign needed. But strangely enough, TLG still hasn't made #5 & #6 panels in orange... unless you meant these to be redesigned... Quote

And I also forgot that the #5 and #6 panels are still missing in orange (OT: Speaking of panels, hopefully we'll get yellow #21 and #22 in the 2H backhoe.) Quote
cyberdyne systems Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 For me it looks really unproportional. Wheels are a bit smaller than they should be, or both cabins are bigger. Boom, on a contrary, looks really better than all medium scale technic cranes' booms! Which is still not the reason for buying it. Quote
SNIPE Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 looking at the 15L lift-arm holding on the rear lights, we can say that the width of the model is 15L. Quote

Bartybum Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Man I can't get over how ugly this crane is. It totally looks like what you'd expect from a knockoff brand set. I'm currently looking at a picture of a knockoff brand 6-wheel white mobile crane and it's so much nicer to look at than this Quote
linhhhinl Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Lol my first thought when I saw the crane is that damn is LEGO copying other knockoff brand now. Very similar size and shape... Quote
Metagross555 Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 What is up with these pathetic outriggers, the outrigger beams should be as long as the crane is wide. Blue seats? Why... Another is issue I see it that the deck isn't smoothed, it has pronounced fenders and a gaping hole behind the engine. And the winch drum is buried. Don't even get me started on the boom tip, why does it stick out so far from the yellow panels. Quote

As he grabbed the outriggers with his fingers I had the same thought: You must be kidding.... I mean TLG come on... it would be ok to actually use one of the front lights, the bumper, a lever in the cabin, or something completely else.... but please put some levers/gears/mechanics in there... I mean it's called "Technic" or did I missed something? Edited December 4, 2019 by Jundis Quote

suffocation Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Wow dis creighn iz so amayz It's got a brand new technique called "stick your finger in the hole and flick out the outrigger" - doesn't get any better (that's what she said). Quote
