Hi, Skip the rambling and go strait to the pictures: http://wegmuller.org/v-web/gallery/Set8421. After building this new set (in about 5 hours), I noticed two things that could be improved: - The boom move up very quickly and came crashing down! My first fix was to install a restricted outlet (see picture on my site for a detailed explanation). The second fix was to add two more cylinders. - The boom was too short: on real cranes,(http://www.liebherr.com/at/18134.asp) the boom extends forward, past the cab while fully lowered. So I added eight studs to each section of the boom which resulted in much nicer proportions.

Greetings, David Wegmuller
