Posted June 10, 20213 yr I set out to make a mini crane. I then had the Idea to use 42082 as the reference and make a mini version. Making a smaller version of a Lego model can be hard to do because some aspects can't be, or hard to scale down. This was true here as using the wheels as the point for scale and some of the 42082 can't be scaled in half. So I just rolled with it and had a good model, but I didn't like how I did the features. Mainly the outriggers were independent and I wanted them all to function as one. It took me longer then I will admit, but mission accomplished! It has: 4 wheel steering Raise and lowering boom Extending boom Outriggers Winch and extension uses 3L friction pin with stop bush to "lock" them A few more pictures are on Bricksafe. Instructions: Rebickable instructions Edited July 29, 20213 yr by weavil

July 19, 20213 yr @weavil sorry to ignore your topic; I have probably overslept it. That is one highly functional little cutie

But you should definitely use the metal hook for such a crane: Thank you. I have one, but I was trying to make it so anybody could get parts for cheap. I think $16 is they cheapest here in the states for the hook.

In that case, I think that you should present it with the best option you have at hand, to let your MOC speak for itself the best way possible. Let the audience people choose what they want to implement from it, depending on their own preferences and resources. Just my thought, of course, because I really like your model and wish the best for it!

I still thinking about as I'm doing the instructions.
July 29, 20213 yr Great, I am sure you will get many likes! By the way, you probably already thought of that already, but you should definitely make a small video to show how it works
July 29, 20213 yr Author I only realized to make a video when I had like 80% torn apart cause I need the parts for the contest. I might make one when I get done with the contest.
