Hi all,
The second in my line of minifig-scale construction equipment - a mobile crane.
http://www.lugnet.com/~469/projects/mobilecrane

Hey, that's pretty cool! Very nice Rosco.

I too would like to know the total height.

Height in the picture is about 2m. I plan on extending the jib using 10L
axles, to get it close to the max scale height for the LG1550 of about 3m.

Also, how much can it lift?

Not tested yet 8?) In the SDWB configuration, it lifted the beam in the
picture fairly easily, which is about 90g. To make it similar in max lift to
the LG1550, it would have to lift about 800g, but only in the SD
configuration. Note that the LG1550's max lift of 550t is only attainable at
a radius of 4.5m, over the rear.

I like models on a minifig scale. You have to be very creative to get all
the fine details, but the overall model doesn't require quite as many bricks
or as much time to build as a larger scale model. Also, they seem to have
more "playability" and you can use them in a train layout :-)

I agree! Although my next major minifig-scale construction will be using
quite a few more bricks ;?)

(A firm believer that you can *never* have enough cranes!)
