Once in a long while I get the privilege of announcing a new MOC. Today, I’m
announcing two! Presenting:
MSG 50 Containerised Lifting
Device
-A 15 foot tall model of the real MSG 50 crane operated by Mammoet.
Tower Crane
-A 8.5 foot
tall model of a tower crane.
These cranes were finished this summer. The MSG 50 is the one that crashed at
the LEGO Roadshow stop in Dallas last June. The full story is documented on
the webpage. The tower crane was a reincarnation of the MSG 50, and a quick
build for Brickfest this past summer.
Enjoy!
best regards,
TJ Avery
p.s. Please help me, I’m addicted to building cranes and I can’t stop! :-)

These are really impressive. The thing that impresses me the most
is getting something as large as these cranes to support their own
weight, let alone lift anything, being as large as they are. I wonder
how many parts the MSG 50 uses :) Excellent work, and thanks for
sharing with everyone.
