Jennifer,
Wonderfull! What a model! I really like the techniques you put into it. OK,
it's not 100% LEGOs, but what bothers you anyway? Sometimes I'm smuggling
myself ;-)
The mechanism for luffing the boom is a great invention! I always have some
problems with the length of the LEGO cylinders: they're far too small :-(
Mmmm, maybe I should try something with the loader I will build next autumn.
Thanks for sharing the idea!
I think you've done a great job to put so many technical stuff into one
small model. I don't think you managed everything in one time. Your
technical skills are very good! My compliments. It's easier to put that
stuff into a large model, like my LG1550, but the difficulty is that the
model is far too heavy. You've chosen the right size to do some nice things
with it (e.g. to demonstrate it on shows). Maybe it's a nice opportunity to
visit the Modelshow Europe in April next year ;-)
Left me only one question: I didn't manage to load the 20x30 wheels into my
CAD-program. I use Leocad. I also have MLCad but I don't know how to use it.
Greetings,
Dennis

| Thanks for the comments Dennis! I think using a leadscrew is a good way to luff large booms, unless someone comes along with some mini hydraulics, but even at that, having hydraulic oil leak all over your living room carpet is probably not the ideal (...)
