Description

A crane for the building site

Mobile cranes are among the vehicles seen on every large construction site, and this set brings one as a model. With 530 pieces it sits mid-range in size and supplies enough material for a long vehicle with a boom. The build is split into several groups, from chassis to cab to crane arm, and it is enjoyable because many parts can be moved once the model is finished and put to use as a toy.

Yellow as the signature colour

Yellow is the main colour, joined by dark and light bluish grey and black. That combination is typical of construction vehicles in the City range and makes the crane recognisable from far away. Of the 530 pieces, 138 are different part types, which is decent variety. If you are putting together a building site, the crane combines well with other yellow vehicles and gives a consistent picture that immediately looks like hard work. It sets the crane apart from grey vehicles on a layout.

Two figures for the job

With two minifigures the crew is small but adequate: one person drives the vehicle, the other guides it in or secures the site. That is enough for simple scenes and leaves room for more figures from other sets. The set therefore makes a good addition to an existing town or building site, especially if you already own diggers, trucks or containers and only need a larger lifting machine to complete the layout. Small warning signs would complete the picture nicely.

Parts list and reusing the bricks

The parts list on this page shows each element with number, colour and quantity, so a used copy can be checked for completeness. The What can I build? tool shows which other models your bricks add up to. Yellow parts in larger numbers are wanted for vehicles and buildings alike, so the comparison is worthwhile if you plan to design your own construction vehicles and want to make use of what you already have.
