I've completed the web page for my model of a Demag AC50-1 all terrain crane
and put it online here:

   http://www.telepresence.strath.ac.uk/jen/lego/

The model is entirely radio controlled and features some new gadgets from
John Barnes. DAT files of the workings are there as well as some videos,
definitely better than the previous ones as I had expert assistance in the
filming this time! I'll be taking the model along to Brickfest so if it
survives hand luggage, you are welcome to put it through its paces.

Jennifer

So this is what you've been doing all that time... ;-) I look at your pages (haven't read the page on the crane yet, but the pictures seem promising - reading will be something for tomorrow) and realise that you've been doing what I've been trying (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Once again, the sound of jaws hitting the floor is heard around the world...
