Eric Strand was nice enough to post these pictures on his Brickshelf site. I call them a "1960's Lego Christmas Fantasy". It shows many of the larger (as well as smaller) Lego sets produced in the late 1950's and 1960's. I took these pictures about (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

Didn't anyone tell you they made a temporary forum (URL) here> while they revamp the main site? In any case, try not to get too bent out of shape over these things. Things you can't control aren't worth getting depressed over. Now cheer up, emo kid! (21 years ago, 2-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Older cranes often had a special dolly that the tip of the jib rested on for that purpose, but newer cranes seem to have the axle built into the jib tip, and just (...)

Good luck with the model!! For something like that, you may be able to use plates, wings and hinges to make a semi-smooth but very thin shape. Think Hagrid's hut!!
