Kato Crane

[Eustacio Gadit]

HiI'm new here. I've been working on this mobile crane for a long time. It's based mostly on the Kato KA-900, with some heavy modifications made to accommodate the vehicle's added functions. I would love some honest criticism about the detailing! The retractable supports are weak, I know, but there's good reasons for that, I promise! I can't post urls yet it seems :( so if you'd like to see more pics look for me on flickr as MothyWorkshop.

Woah, I was not expecting it to be a transformer! Brilliant creation, and considering the function, I think you've got a perfect amount of detailing - it looks like you've just managed to squeeze it all in so I don't even know if theres any more room to fit more details! Also I was wondering, is this crane a official transformer (out of the movies/cartoons)?

It's G1 Hook, the evil Constructicon. Yes it has a third mode Anyways, I knew I shouldn't have included that last picture, argh! I wanted the experienced town vehicle builders to take a look, truly. When I post the dump truck, I will fight the temptation! Fixed the original post to save the thread from relocation.

Honestly, the only complaint I can think of, and it's a pretty minor one, is that the raised bit behind the cab looks a little empty. I'm not very familiar with the crane it's based on, however, so maybe that's how it actually looks. Having said that, the whole things looks great. (Especially the part you edited out to keep it in the town forum.)

The design of your crane is very smooth, functions are awesome. My only point is that the crane arm does not rest on the roof of the cab. There surely is a certain reason for this, but how about something for this purpose behind the cab?

Indeed, I've planned to add that support in, but its a simple procedure and I wanted to make sure to get everything else working first. This build still has a few hours worth of work to do, mostly on the crane turret. That translates to at least a week real time. I'm also new to the photography aspect, gotta set that all up and test it. These shots were satisfactory for the WIP stage, but the final set will be done with a diffused-light box on a white background with tripod and post-production editing and all that fun stuff I know little about
