Bricklink Modular Crane - Build and review

Ever since seeing this set in vidoes, i knew i had to have it. With it being retired and the prices soaring, there was only one option...the dreaded piecing together...
What followed was a long procurement process but was oh so worth it..

Nice! I liked being able to the instructions as you went, some of the sections grew on screen as they grew in person. Very cool 😆

Cheers, yea i was trying to work out how to convey the size of the build a bit and hoped that would do the trick, seems it worked well :D.

Excellent job. I'm "scratch building" one of these as well. I'm just 14 lots away from having all the parts.

[@Back2Bricks]

Thanks so much, Oh awesome effort, its certainly worth the effort. So so glad i did this one. I think i almost like it more after the piecing together, felt like more reward from the efforts.

[@TheOneandOnlyDuck]

@@Back2Bricks Exactly. I've scratch built other sets like the UCS Imperial Shuttle and it is always more satisfying.

[@MarkBuildsLego]

WOW! that looks awesome - I would love to builds this one. Nice job!

[@Back2Bricks]

Thanks Mark, if you can make it work for you then i highly recommend it. There were some seriouslt cool elements to it not to mention the size.

[@MarkBuildsLego]

@@Back2Bricks Yep - I found another Bricklink build I am parting out as a project - But this will be the next set I will try to part out and build.👍

Great video and build, how much was it picking everything up by pieces?

[@blah1_]

Yes, was everything readily available or were there a lot of custom parts?

[@Back2Bricks]

Thanks so much. To be honest i never recorded the orders, i had planned to but on a lot of the orders i did i had a lot of other pieces thrown in as well, such as the plate in the video so it threw the calculations off. It was definately more expensive than getting the model at the time but so much cheaper than it would have been to get on the 2nd hand market.

[@Back2Bricks]

I was actually able to source everything from either the LEGO site (for bulk orders/gwps etc) or from Bricklink. I think in the end i came up one piece short which was one of the pots, but I have actually left it as is to be a meory of sorts.
