Hi Ross, that crane is fantastic! What is the real hight in cm? Is it over 2 metres? Should be, because the crane is much taller then you at the "me.jgp" ... Is the boom just build with 12-Technic-axles? The model comes very close to the real one. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)
