LEGO construction machinery

Under here I give a selection of construction machines which I built in the past few years. The mobile crane is my biggest LEGO project so far. This model is built in scale 1:15, all the other models are on scale 1:13. I give a short description and some pictures of every model.

Cranes

If you ask me what the most interesting machines are, than my answer will be mobile cranes. These type of machines are so fascinated that you can't get enough of it. I prefer mobile cranes, I have never built a heavy crawler tracked crane.

Excavating

These machines are very recent, I started to build excavating equipment. Those machines are often built as a carriage for my low loader vehicles. The main part of such a combination nowadays is the machine. Former the truck should be the primairy, so nowadays it's the machine.

Special equipment

In this part the special machines get a chance. So far it's only one machine, but I think more will come in the following years. Because of the complexity of such machines it will always take a while before one's finished. A mobile crusher is on my wishlist.
