Thanks again for letting me feature your new creation. It was quite a surprize
to the crowd when they first saw it. I thought it was a great slide to show at

Well, any large model presents difficulties when transporting it. There is a
fine balance between a strong structure and using a reasonable amount of parts.

User error, plain and simple. Unfortunately Steve Arnold's Manitowoc 888 was
underneath when the MSG 50 fell over :-(
