Nice one TJ, the removable panels are brilliant, I wish I could get the hang
of that approach!

I think with that size of a model, it's fairly easy. With a model as compact
as your crane, I'm sure it would have been a lot more difficult. It does
take a bit of room to accommodate panels, and they all must retain a little
structural integrity on their own (or else they'll disentegrate when you
pull 'em off :-)

Your comment about forgetting how a model is built when
attempting modifications to some deep rooted part was interesting, I fully
empathise with this. The small excavator I made took so many iterations to
get right that at one point I had two versions going simultaneously so there
was always an "undo" option available should something catastrophic happen!
After a few goes you do remember though, it seems a bit like the "Simon"
game from days of yore.

Having two models going is an excellent solution! (provide you have enough
parts!) My solution (at the time) would have been to go look at my pictures
for guidance, however that may not have been enough to help.

Are you tempted at all to revisit the model and make the changes you
mentioned?

Perhaps. I'm tired of dealing with it right now, I guess you know how that
feels. I think in the future, maybe several months down the road, I might
revisit it.
