Hey more new pix, great! Cool MOC! It's really something to look at. The upper portion, the base, the massiveness of it all. sheeesh 48 pounds! Wowie. A mechanical bounty of Technic beauty. Hey can we suspend the Jama with the Crane when I build the (...) (22 years ago, 12-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) An outstanding model. It has a very real, very hefty look to it. Well done! (...) The interesting thing about the page is that because it's so well designed and so easy to look at, it belies how much work went into it. But I'm sure it took a (...) (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks! It's not the tallest, but it's the beefiest ;-) (...) My wife liked it too, until I insisted on keeping it in the living room for all to see :-) (...) I didn't take any, sorry. However, Todd Thuma did take some at Brickfest, and I'm (...) (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thank you! I don't know about the best of the year award, there have been many other great MOCs announced this year. (Jennifer's AC50 crane would get my vote ;-) Perhaps a poll is in order? Well, I'm glad you got to see the crane in person, (...) (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks! It's a very solid model. I'm often surprized at how well it stays together. I can pic it up (fully assembled) at the base, and move it around easily. I've even run into door frames and walls with it while carrying it, and nothing falls (...) (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Thomas, A few months ago I already saw some images of your latest crane. No I’ve red the whole story about it. It’s a very rare crane, especially because it’s built of LEGO. Never seen that before! I’m always surprised when people manage to build (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.events)

(...) You always should make movies when you have you own camera. My father filmed most of my models and I'm glad I have the movies (e.g. the Liebherr LG1550 and the Hitachi pile driver). TJ, when you have a movie, I can see it in 'real' though. (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The geared 9V motors are great. It's been proven that they're much more efficient than the old ones. They suck less current, and their internal gear reduction has less friction losses than a built-up gear reduction. The 12V motors may be more (...)

(...) Yes, I agree. Actually, I'm working on that right now. I had mentioned that Todd Thuma took a few movies of the crane at Brickfest. Well, I just contacted him and he said he'd look for them. Hopefully he has a few, and will be kind enough to (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)
