Hey, nice one Rosco!

Thanks Tobbe!

Clever design on the boom, both extension and elevating.

I like them too, though I'm disappointed how easily the elevating axle bends.

But why didn't you use real drive and suspension, bet you could have fit some
RC from HiTechnic in there aswell :)

8?) I doubt even John's miniature controls could be squeezed in there!

The stickers look OK from here, and they lead me to explore the BRE-site, did
not know of that previously (nice models, especially the grader). Perhaps you
can find transparent sticker material?

Yes, I'll probably try transparent next time. It's so expensive though! Even
more than white 8?(

Glad to see someone who makes "small" MOC's. I wish I did sometimes, my
projects always get to big to keep my attention through the build. Hm, time for
a minifig-scale Hercules?

Sounds like a great idea! I figure TJ, Jen and Dennis have the large scale
all sewn up, so I'll stick with smaller stuff for a while.

My only somplaint/suggestion is that your site -like Dennis Bosman's- needs a
maximized browser-window (1152 x 864 at work, 1280 x 1024 at home) to avoid
side-to-side scrolling. Personally I hate that. I like to keep my browser in a
800-ish wide and as tall as the resolution allows.

Do you mean the BRE page or the Lugnet page? I thought I made them all
viewable at 1024 wide...

You've added some nice details, the motor, fake pneumatic housing, driver
instrumentation etc.

Can you beat TJ's maxlift? Seriously though, how much weight can it handle
at most?

I haven't tested it fully - there's some pictures on the brickshelf folder
lifting an x-wing (about 300g) but it could lift more. See
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RoscoHead/construction/allterraincrane/load3.jpg

I estimate it could lift about 500g, but I'll try when I get a chance!

As Eric said, the trolley is a nice thouch. How do you attach the boom
extension? Perhaps the answer is there post-moderation...

Ummm not really - maybe I need to take some close-ups. There's a shot with
it at 0 degrees offset

I'll upload some more pics when I get a chance. Basically the whole pulley
assembly is removed, and attached to the end of the extension, while the
extension is attached where the pulley assembly was.

Regards

ROSCO
