My humble attempts at your models, aka "what I did over Christmas" (both
build with lego and learn MLcad)
If you don't like MLCAD/LDRAW - don't look!

One advantage of MLcad/LDraw - I didn't have enough yellow beams so I
actually built it in black but rendered it in yellow!
Now I've got enough half beams I'm considering rebuilding the boom from a
central full beam and side half beams to avoid the nasty bulge at the bend
above the first pneumatic cylinder
