But then Dave you'd want to fill it up with ships.
No mate.. I'd want
YOU to fill it with ships for me
Wonder if PeterM could use it at MCL Field :think: No dockyard as such but it'd be an interesting addition to anyones scenery (and he does have lots and lots of water) ;-)

Think I know what you mean
When it was just the bottom of the legs I sent it to Brian (Horse) because I couln't get the contact point right there was something hidden.he found it
But also it came back with flashing lights on the top and powered by a RR Avon to aid fast taxying.....'it sort of flies as well :o
A flying crane......eat you heart out Sikorsky.

WOW, Garry
If you can model that, you must be able to model anything.
That's amazing.

Cheers Kevin
Don't know about model anything
Compile nothing perhaps :brick:
There are far fewer vertices in the legs of the crane than in the Freighters undercarriage :o
It is quite a simple structure.........just a lot of visible bits.

Hmmm,
Fantastic model Garry...Yes, I'm sure I could fit one in on my base...I'll need another of those thick concrete crane bases that I use at the moment for various things...Don't know about flying it though...does it fly inverted?

Yep Peter
inverted it does well
Keeping it upright is another matter

.
100 feet tall......so not too close to the end of the runway
