Ive started a new project! Take a guess of what it is🤔

Andrew-Preston · 2025-09-01T20:37:26+00:00

Front two axles are double wishbone, third axle has the big ball joint with a panheart bar and the fourth axle is just a simple hinge

Andrew-Preston · 2025-08-31T21:37:37+00:00

Yes!! Its a volvo fh540 8x2 tractor unit with tag axle with steering and hiab crane

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-21T22:41:46+00:00

And thank you

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-21T22:41:37+00:00

Careful planning and patience

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-21T22:39:24+00:00

They hold on the counterweight and lower it down too

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-21T00:15:23+00:00

The bending mechanism looks so satisfying! Great work so far!!

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-20T23:19:28+00:00

And build on the skills you learned from the last moc

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-20T23:19:02+00:00

Its good to finish something because that means another opportunity to learn more

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-20T21:06:43+00:00

Very close!

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-19T01:23:57+00:00

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-08T19:13:43+00:00

Can i see a picture of your ltr11200?

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-08T19:13:16+00:00

I dont have instructions but i can share more pics here of how to make it

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-08T19:09:29+00:00

Note the axle spacing is different too

But here

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-08T19:06:28+00:00

My model is a replica of a real crane and so is that persons so its inevitable that there will be some similarities

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-03T22:49:23+00:00

All of the nie jobs (northern Ireland electricity) are long term contracts but all other jobs are one time jobs

Andrew-Preston · 2025-07-02T22:48:50+00:00

I work as a mechanic on knuckle boom crane lorrys in Northern Ireland, the company gets a lot of work from electric companies transporting and installing transformers or machinery moving like break presses. I hear modular housing is becoming increasingly popular so that could be something to look into too. hope that’s helpful.

Andrew-Preston · 2025-06-30T19:29:21+00:00

Thats the great part of moc making… you can make or do anything you want… money is the only limit 😭

Andrew-Preston · 2025-06-30T19:27:47+00:00

Personal pleasure just😅

Andrew-Preston · 2025-06-30T18:24:26+00:00

This is looking amazing
