This Liebherr LTM 1160/2 mobile crane from Jason Slaton was built from a Kibri model kit. The model is painted with genuine Liebherr yellow paint and decaled with custom decals for crane operator Maxim Crane Rental. The boom dolly was scratchbuilt using models created by Denis Doucet as a guide as well as internet research. The counterweights are being transported by a Herpa/Promotex Mack CH and Promotex 48’ drop deck trailer. Details on the Mack include a Dennis Aust headache guard, Plano mirrors, brake air lines, custom decals, and warning light. Jason says his inspiration for the crane models came from the works of Denis Doucet and the great models at http://hansebube.de/ and http://www.p-kun.com/.
