This is the Cranes Etc TV review of NZG's 1/50 scale model of the Liebherr LR 1600/2 Crawler Crane. The model number is 843. The full review is on the Cranes Etc website: www.CranesEtc.co.uk.
I must have watched this at least 20 times. I know I need to buy a couch, but this looks like so much more fun to build. Though I doubt my shaky hands could do the A-frame.
I have got to ask. I am having sooo much trouble reeving up the derrick to the boom (haven't gotten to the jib). I've tried just doing it manually (fingers and putty) and I get one or two wraps, then something goes wrong and something jumps off. It's getting them on the pulleys and past the pulley bars (whatever they're called) that's the problem. The A-frame actually ended up pretty easy because somehow I got the string to stick in the pulleys. No such luck with the derrick/boom pulleys. Any tips? (tried a needle (can't get the thread through), tried putty on the end of the string, and now supergluing a piece of wire bread-tie to the string and the tolerances still don't let it fit) Oh. While I'm at it. Is the Jib diagram in the instructions correct (every other pulley)? Or should I use all of the pulleys for accuracy?
Awesome crane, and yet another great review by Cranes Etc. TV! I Like your videos, even though I probably will never be able to afford any of these models!
oh no.. i am having a big big trouble reeving up the A-frame.. i dont understand.. can anybody make a video on reeving the a frame? the one with 2 drums?
***** Great review again. It is beautiful model with loads of detailing. Thanks looking forward to next one. Is any chance to review any of WSI's car transporters if You can get one? Regards from Scotland
I was wondering...you said this models big hook is reeving up on 2 winch drums so my question is do you need to operetae 2 drums to keep it in parallel level or are both being turned at the same time? if you understand my question!
+craneinsane USA From memory NZG supply a few spare links with the model. If not, then probably best to go back to your dealer to get the problem resolved.
One of mine came loose from the factory, one link too many, as well as one link broken. Took me forever to get it put back together. Scotch tape helped me keep everything together while finally getting the final length all put together. (just be careful when taking off the tape, or you'll do it twice)
Hello I am a big fan of your channel and I have that model. I tried 4 times the first part and never done correctly. Can you explain with more detail that part ? Thank you very much
+Jay A M , +CranesEtcTv come on dude.. im already 14 and i have trouble assembling this models.. u wanna leave all this highly extremely fragile detailed models for thr kids to play?? just look at the assembly process.. u can see millions of tiny mini important screws. what if the kids lost them.. how would they possibly going to assemble this cranes.. dude.. think before u comment something.. oh yes.. fyi.. this cranes are scalef models. not toys. they are not meant to be played by anyone.. they are suppose to be displayed. that is why it highly detailed
Hey! Adults like models too! I am only 13 and don't own any of these models, but still. I mean, just look at that reeving diagram! I wouldn't give a kid an $800 crane model.
