XXL Mobile Crane (7249)

This is a surprising model from Lego. It is the first time I have seen a Lego vehicle that can fit two mini figures side-by-side. In my opinion it is largely based on the Liebherr LTM1300/1 and I am in the process of making it look more like it. The first step was to remove the articulation. It was probably designed that way to make it easier to assemble (as well as making it slightly steerable) but I have not seen any cranes like that! I have also lengthened the extending boom by a third.


After I lengthened the boom		Err... testing the boom

The top needed a tweak too		De-articulated with a bonus storage area

I have made some further mods since these photos, but I have not taken any photos yet.... ....and it's too late now as it has been recycled!
