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.

Thanks! It is sometimes surprizing what these parts are capable of. But with
good building techniques and proper designs, tall cranes (and many other large
structures) are possible. Of course they do have their limits, and that must be
respected :-)
I wish I knew the part count for the MSG 50. From disassembling it, I can guess
that it’s well over 5000. Perhaps even 10000? Let’s settle on about 7500 ;-)
That feels about right. Too many anyways. It takes too long to sort something
this size- another drawback to a large MOC.
best,
TJ
