I have watched your videos for a year. most of them twice. I am engrossed with your stop motion technique. I really enjoy watching you put crane models together. If i ever came to your home I would sit and watch and maybe make a few engine noises until cob webs covered and my bones turned to dust. You could use some of your magnificent models to scoop up the dust and hall it away. Please do not stop
I was the operator for a 178 erection last Thursday and Friday, and i can confirm that one (large counterweight ) needs to be put in place first. That is definitely a cool model though. This crane has the nicest roomiest cab of any towercrane I have ever run. It even has a small closet! All the controls are computer driven (stepless) and totally fluid.
Could you give me the base measurement...like is it 6" square? I have a small area that I could possibly put this near my train turntable area. I think that would look super cool as long as it fits.
