This is the first submission from Lonnie Barnett who says he looks at our web site every week to see the awesome builds that other people submit. Lonnie usually builds 1/25 scale trucks and other items but says he always wanted to build one of Kibri cranes and intends to build some more.

The truck crane is a Liebherr LG1550 in the SDWB configuration built from Kibri kit #10738. Kibri lists the crane as an LG1800 Space Lifter because the German company Riga Mainz had that crane and nicknamed it the "Space Lifter." Lonnie says now he has to figure out where to put the crane. Special thanks to Denis Doucet for the background information on the prototype crane.
