Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
It's quite a process, isn't it! I just spent last night remotoring one of my drums, and turning an internal piece that mounts them better and doing other little tweaks to improve operation. So I know...

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane
Hi gents! It's been a while, but I have gotten some more done on this project. I got the bright idea of putting lights in this while at a doll house supply shop, where I go to get brass hinges and...

Re: IH 350B Payhauler Truck
Awesome project! And I thought the 1/25 models were impressive. This is an amazing build. (as are so many on this forum) You certainly have the credentials and research down. Dan

Re: 1/25 6 Axle Lattice Crane
Nathan, for cutting styrene, you spin the cutter SLOW. You have to be able to see it turning, not a blur of speed. I use it to make duplicate strips. It's so easy to get it off when cutting, say a...

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
Amazing stuff, Kerst. Serious machinery here, and working in 1/24 scale only makes it that much more impressive. I watched the video. I've always loved the look of the reeving on 1/1 cranes, and...

Exiting, I'll say!!!! It's a rush to see a well designed and engineered piece of machinery work for the first time, isn't it? Great work so far. Just unbeleivable. Dan
