I love it very different, grate work, is it all scratched built?

Michael Franz Autor
No.... It is a 1/350 kit by German manufacturer BJ-Kleinserien. Made of 1 resin part and 4 sheets of PE stuff.... 🙂

Micha, very nice work, you might take a photo with a scale reference like a coin a match, or something 🙂

Michel Huijghe
Holy cow!

Christian Bruer
A lot of excellent brass work over here. Very nice and clean work Micha. Any more information about the DEMAG crane. When this crane was build and first used and where?!
Cheers, Christian

Michael Franz Autor
Thanks a lot!
The DEMAG-crane was built 1941 and used in Hamburg for ship-constructions and other works in the harbour. Today it is still in use in Hamburg as "HHLA3"... restored and still very active 🙂 Cheers Michael

Very cool Crane! Just googled some pics of the original, what a beauty.....

Michael Franz Autor
Thanks a lot. At the beginning I glued a plastic stripe at the inside of the corners (only the inner part of the cranes base). Later parts are soldered.

Thx Micha, sad I couldn't use it for my WWI SMS Seydlitz.

Michael Franz Autor
No.... unfortunately not... 🙁 But Alliance Model Works showed some cranes coming soon... first US and Jap. cranes, but if successful they want to do more 🙂 Also German ones!
