Nice addition Paul. This livery is one of my favorites.

The proudly Mexican cookie monster!

It's a diecast thing.You couldn't understand!

Thanks! I have to agree that the scenery is better than before Fields on two sides and a single storey house on the other and a view of a church in the distance on the 4th side.

Your wife must love you a lot mate

Also your photos are stunning.

Super stuff Paul,but there goes another poor postmans back I bet they dread getting your route lol

the LR1300 looks so good,to be honest too I really like the Van Marvijk too,its not to be sniffed at either,I think in any livery it would look smashing,

Gaz,you need to pox the powers to be at Ainscough like you never poxed anyone before!!!! an Ainscough LR1300 would look the dogs dangly bits!

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Great additions Paul, I honestly think the wiesbauer is the nicest ac500 made by conrad to date, and comparing it to the real thing, they seem to have got it very very accurate too. There's some great models coming from conrad in the past year!

The LR1300 is sweet too, I agree with graham it would look great in Ainscough colours.

I think you might right Noel regarding the Wiesbauer. I will add a few minor touches to it such as rear light cluster and perhaps license plates. But overall it is a nice looking model.



You might regret that! Be a while though as my schedule for the next month or two is pretty hectic. Have been getting a few ideas and thoughts together so we'll see what happens. May be you could come over and park the 1500 in the drive way for the weekend

I haven't installed a AC500 jib ever since they first came out and I set one up with my Christmas tree in 2004! But ever since I saw a picture of the Felbermayr AC500-2 with a luffer attached, I wanted to do the same to the model and here it is. I have to say a really like the look of it but still don't trust the main boom cylinders to hold it up, so I have now taken it off again. Guess I'll have to invest in some YCC cylinders.















As most will realise, this is not the full jib. I missed out about 2 sections I think on the very end. It's a pity Conrad never corrected the mistake of not putting enough pendants in with model.

Nice Paul! love the added details too,

Back in the day when I got the Terex Demag AC500-1 I had it set up with almost all the luffer,3 big luffer sections left out and 1 telescopic boom section not extended,I had it set up over my bed unsupported for a few months and there wasn't a peep out of it,you should be ok with yours too

Great shots Paul, the added details on the sections really make it impressive

Received these models over the last few weeks:

ALL AC500-2











Wiesbauer AC500-2 Had this one a while but I added boom decals, painted on the rear lights and added a license plate on the front. Will do the rear but I don't have any matching paint as yet.











Grohmann LG1750 Wasn't really planning on this one but HTM had such a good deal I could not refuse!











And finally a quick family portrait of the LG's:





Thanks for looking,

Paul R
