[Maks] is back, and he returns to The Lego Car Blog with this magnificent Town-style Liebherr LTM crane. See the full gallery, where your building skills will seem archaic by comparison, via [Maks]’ Flickr photostream.

Star Lift
Today’s find is another brilliant Town creation from Karwik over on Flickr. His Star 244 flatbed cherry-picker is about as good as it gets at this scale. See more here.
Liebherr in Lego
This superb Town-scale Liebherr LTM crane is the work of TLCB favourite [Maks] on Flickr. [Maks] always packs astonishing detail into his creations and his latest surpasses even his own high standards. See more of his work at the link above.
A Real Mammoth
Work in Progress is the description. So far we can see this amazing crane looks… er… amazing, and we can’t really put our finger on what work is left to do.
LiftingBricks on Flickr is the creator of this astonishing Liebherr mobile crane, and you really won’t believe half how big it is. Click the link above to find out.
Town, But Bigger!
6352 x 5
This smooth Technic crane is a little more than it appears. It is in fact a huge version of the LEGO Town set 6352 from 1991. Complete with working winch and crane boom, it’s available to view on Flickr, courtesy of Technic master Thirdwigg.
Until Next Year…
Lunar Lifter
FebRovery 2013 is almost over, and there have been some delightfully inventive space-related vehicles entered (use our ‘search’ function at the bottom of the page to see those that we’ve featured here on TLCB). So, as a Grand Finale of sorts, here’s drdesignz’ rather large Space Crane. You know, a crane, but in space. See more of the Dr.’s work on either Flickr or MOCpages, and until next year, keep rovin’.
Start Saving…
We’ve had the first wave of Technic sets for 2013, and they’re pretty good; although I still say that F1 car looks messy…
The real goodies arrive in August; have a gander at this:
New for 2013: 42009 LEGO Technic Crane
It’s the 42009, Mobile Crane MkII, and has to be the most hotly anticipated Technic set since the Unimog. It’ll have over 2000 pieces and retail at around £150, according to the bush telegraph.
It seems to incorporate one power functions motor which can control any one of four functions via a gearbox. There’s a three piece extending boom, four steered axles and four linked stabilisers. All in all, a fitting follow up to the sainted 8421. Can’t wait.
As if that weren’t enough, feast your eyes on this:
New for 2013: 42008 LEGO Technic Recovery Truck
Set number 42008, a very green recovery truck that’s pretty impressive, if a size smaller than the crane. It’ll probably be around £100.
There goes the summer holiday…
The King
Insert quiff and sparkly suit for twice the awesome
This enormous orange behemoth is an Erickson Air-crane, nicknamed ‘Elvis’. At over 4m long and 1m high it contains over 100,000 LEGO bricks. Pro builder Ryan McNaught, aka TheBrickMan, spent one month designing and building this creation for the Brickvention 2013 show. You can see more of Elvis at Ryan’s Flickr photostream here. Uhuhuh.
Featured TFOL: Jon Treasure
Caterpillar PL-87; the world’s biggest claw machine. You should see the size of the stuffed animal.
This month’s Featured TFOL hails from MOCpages, where the Elves spotted him via his rather excellent construction equipment.
Jon Treasure started out not too far from ‘minifig-on-a-plate’ type builds (ergh – we know), then rapidly moved through medium scale military and vehicular builds. He’s now reaching the heights of super-complex large scale Technic creations that any AFOL would be proud to create, like the awesome Caterpillar PL-87 pictured above. Check out his MOCpage at the aforementioned link, it’s well worth a look.
