Perhaps in the future I'll go for an offshore crane. Right now I'm focusing
on a more transportable model; something I can take to Brickfest, should I go.
Mammoet's MSG 50 is quite nice, but I don't have any details except for a
few poor pictures. I've contacted Mammoet and they've not responded. I've
also contacted Jan van Wees and he's not responded either.
The key elements to a large offshore crane (see
http://www.texbrick.com/offshore ), and also the MSG 50, are the parts that
make up the circular rails. I've got a nice solution for that and now all I
need is a few months of good building time (don't we all!).
As for modelling the vessel that goes along with an offshore crane, I'd say
no way! If you build the crane on any decent scale (say 1:50), then the
parts required to construct the vessel would be tremendous. It would also
result in a model the size of a small car!

I can't wait to see Ron's Demag. If I remember correctly, it's on 1:15
scale, right? I recall past discussions when we were estimating the boom
height of the model. Something like 5 or 6 meters?

| Sometimes I also deviate from my scale. When I build a model it occurs that e.g. the front overhang doesn’t look well when I build it on scale. Than I make it 1 stud longer. The same concerns axle distances. But mostimes I try to build everything on (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.modelteam)
