Evert van Wichen is now building a Kobelco CK850 crawler crane on scale
1:13. See his work in progress:
http://www.student.tue.nl/u/e.v.wichen/pics/work-2.htm

Hopefully it will be shown during the modelshow in Ochten. I can't wait to
see it in real! And maybe he will build a lowloader vehicle as well!

Keep up the good work Evert!
