Sorry TJ for not reacting earlier on your newest post.
Although I already mentioned it in my mails, I must again say that I am
impressed by your latest creations.
The color scheme gives these two cranes a very realistic look although there are
many other colors as well on real cranes. But red and white makes them look
impressive and it also means that they are a danger in a certain way.
That your MSG 50 was dangerous, you were able to prove ;-)
Don’t take the crash too serious, it happens to all of us. When building the
Mountaineer, the finished boom crashed down due to a gust of wind. At that point
I had to decide wheter to continue the project or to abandon it. Fortunately I
had the time to rebuild that boom.
At least that crash showed again, that the bricks we love so much are much
stronger than one could think. You mention no broken part - on the Mountaineer
disaster, only two small plates were broken because the boom fell right into the
door frame.
And finally, if the MSG 50 had not crashed, you never would have built the tower
crane which is an interesting model as well. I could imagine that without that
compact turntable assembly, it would not have been possible to slew such a boom
and counterweight boom combination.
We could form a group of self-helps. I am a crane addict as well :-) My newest
creation will be a crane too when finished somewhen in the future.

Yes, crashes happen, even to the best of us. And the bigger you build, the more spectacular (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
