August Update
Written by TJ on August 28th, 2009Ugh… sorry that it’s been over a month since my last post here. I have not touched my bricks lately because of a hectic, super-busy schedule (work, life, etc.). That’s just how it goes…
Plus I’ve got a load of stuff to break down and sort. I’m not looking forward to that so much 
But hey, I built some trees for the train show last month. That’s something new here on the blog.
The big tree makes use of a bunch of different brown Technic connectors. These brown parts came mostly from all the old Starwars Technic sets I got years ago, and until now, I haven’t found a good use for them.
I also have a small back-log of ideas that I need to photograph and post here. Yep, I have plenty of house-keeping work to do!
On the side of serious building… I’m stuck in a rut. I cannot decide what to do. I’ve been wanting to build a new, very large crawler crane. I’ve built crawler cranes in the past, but I want to build the ultimate crawler crane MOC now that I have a lot of lessons learned and experience. The trouble is that everyone and their dog has built crawler cranes.
Sometimes I can’t get motiviated to build a MOC if there are too many similar ones out there by other builders!

hello and greetings from belgium (europe)
I can only hope that you build a new crawler crane. The previus models where an example for me and a motevation. Its true that everyone is building them, but not like you. I’m building my third one , and i’m still looking for ideas at your page with old models.
If you like some pictures of my crane , please let me now.
Sorry for mistakes in my english.
greetings yves

Hi Yves!
Thanks for your comments. I suppose that each new crawler crane that I build will be better than the last, at least I hope
Maybe one day I’ll get a really good MOC working and be satisfied, and that will be the last crawler crane that I build

Maybe you could tackle the Shuttle Launching Platform. It’s got big ‘ol tracks on it.

Now that would be cool
Those were built by Marion, the same company that built huge crawler-based mining shovels (some of the largest land-based moving machines ever constructed).
