Thanks Bedbears😊

Thanks Scottykardos😊

Kenny, thank you for your continued support🎉

BedBear, Sorry for the delayed reply. I have been concentrating lately on finishing out my inventory of crane attachments, recently completing a 2 cu yd clam shell bucket and hope to post a video of that build before year's end. BEST, Tom

Hi Altenburg-90, I made this model in my home shop in Rocklin, California, USA.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for your positive comment 🎈 I might create a post on my scratch built flatbed trailer some time later this year. BEST, Tom

Sounds like a personal decision. If you cherish it like you seem to, I would either "keep it on a mantle" or possibly RC it, but NOT as a BASHER or CRAWLER but rather as a limited use show model. In any case, ENJOY IT as best you see fit! Best, Tom

Thanks for your positive comment🎈

Thanks for your observation! Yes indeed, I had not anticipated that the 20 pound trailer weight (loaded with four 3/4" thick slabs of oak model crane swamp mats resulting in an additional 5 pounds on the 5th wheel) would have such a significant impact on the model's turning ability. As my video explained, I tried to minimize the impact of the soft/grippy dually tires mounted on solid axles by lining the tires with slit lengths of 5/8" garden hose. Actually initial tests on the originally lined tires saw the sharply turned front tire wanting to fold off the wheel, so at least that outcome was avoided🎈 Best Regards, Tom

It is certainly not small or cheap!

You have a very good looking Mack Tractor/flat bed trailer model! Thanks for your comment🎈 Best Regards, Tom

also love the old school model making in this video, all my model makin is done in cad then printed out.

GROGKNAK, Thank you for your positive comments. Yes indeed, as a retired 76 year old manufacturing guy, I pretty much do everything "old school". Have a GREAT DAY! Tom

rctruckhobby9413, I appreciate your comment, but coukd not fully understand your question regarding tge cabin. In any case, have a GREAT DAY! Tom

Donovan, Thank you for your positive comment, BEST, Tom

Spenjere, Thanks for your positive comments. Yes, as I stated in the video, that is how I evolved my approach to the build after discovering the Kingkong model. Stay well and in touch, BEST, Tom

Bobby Tucker, Thank you for your positive comments! I hope you had opportunity to also view a couple of my crane videos. Stay well and in touch, BEST, Tom

Thank you for your positive comments! Actually, while I do have talents, the fact is that many of them were learned by a combination of repeated failures and a zeal for perfection🎈

Thanks for sharing your Dad's experience and your positive comment Petequinn741! BEST Regards 😊

Thank you, Stay well!

Theunfy05, While I would have preferred to have recorded the video with a better scaled background, I chose at the time, to make the recording in my central CA driveway. Tom

Thank you!

Thanks VIDOM803!

Thank you so much 👍

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Kenny!

Thinking about it, however, I have not yet decided how best to synchronize the two hoist drums to best avoid prematurely opening the bucket or over slacking the "open bucket" line. Thanks for you comment!

Thanks for your positive comment🎈

Colossal BigFoot, Thanks for your compliment. If you have access to a benchtop metal lathe and milling machine,, you might check out my complete 7GB set of plans that are available on a flash drive offered by The Little Machine Shop at lmscnc.com/6342. Stay well, in touch and subscribed🎈 Best Regards, Tom

Not sure, particularly with the current winter weather, discouraging outside video recording of the crane model in action, but please remain subscribed and patient!

Okay! 🎈🎈
