Default Krupp 180GMT 1/20

I built this crane years ago and it took me a long time to finish and in a sense it was never finished. I painted it red, but I was never happy with the result and over the years I made lots of small repairs and alterations.
During the last day of the Cabin Fever Expo something broke and in order to repair it I needed to take the whole thing apart and then I decided to just do it and repaint it.
It took me about 6 weeks of cleaning, sanding and re-finishing and here is the result. i also added dome more details.
Before:


And after:

It was minor and happened just at the end of the show. A pin broke off in the gearbox for the boom extension, but luckily the boom was fully retracted and I happily pretended nothing was wrong.
The actual repair took only 15 minutes, but i had to take the whole thing apart first. It gave me the chance to fix some other small details, but i had to promise myself not to do anything major, because I am always tempted to rebuild the whole thing and that would take me years. I have considered rebuilding most parts of the upper including the boom!

Hello Kerst,

The crane lookes very nice. I already saw a little movie of it when I was reading your buildreport from the Liebherr and watched some movies on Youtube. Do you have some more pictures of the crane, maybe when it was disassembled?

I am currently drawing a Liebherr LTM1160 first generation (scale 1:14,5) that I want to build. Still have some issues whith the outriggers. They have to lift a lot of weight, approximately 40 kg without counterweight, and hold even more when I am operating.

How did you make the outriggers, do they actually work and how much can they lift?

BTW I got the tip for your buildreport on the Liebherr from Eef, who is a collegae if mine.

It looked incredible before, now it is just stunning! That is a one-of-a-kind crane! The yellow and black paint job is very classy, and makes it look ready to go to work!
What's next?

Since I started experimenting with RC control for my truck I got the idea to do the same for the Krupp crane.
There is no space on the crane itself for the batteries and receiver, etc. I decided to build a counterweight trailer with a hidden space for the battery, speed control and receiver and of course for the counterweights.
I already had most parts and it is going pretty quick.
Here are some pictures of progress so far:

Hi Kerst

Looking good should be interesting.
looking forward to the finished result if your crane is anything to go by it will all look great.

Very cool!!!

Are you going to rc all the functions, or just do like drive/steer and still have to hook up a breakout cable to deploy the rest?
