Clever design on the boom, both extension and elevating.

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

Well it do get it's fair share of abuse.

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!

:)

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.

I don't mind more in the 1:20 range and I don't mind building what others
already have built but originality is better.

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

Yes, they are. But I prefer to keep my browser in the 800 wide range, don't
like my windows maximized. Still, 800 x 600 is the most common resolution used
(according to another Swedish AFOL's web-visit counter).

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!

Cool!

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.

I get the idea though!

(...) Me? Abuse LEGO??? Never!!!! 8?) (...) Nah, I like big stuff too was just kidding 8?) Just for a bit of comparison, this crane is 10 studs wide, Jennifer's AC100-1 is about 18 I think, and Dennises LG1550 looks to be around 24.... (...) Ah well (...)
