I like this one a lot better than the "non-advanced" version. I have a couple questions though. It seems off that the entire crane is off-center. That seems like a tricky situation until you have a load. Secondly, the front-end loader doesn't seem to have anywhere to go. I guess if all it does is go backwards and forwards for that short distance, it will have close to zero miles on the odometer after years of service. :)

  kbh nv, Denmar…

i thought about the crane posisition to but nothing is written in the info about it and in the blueprints it is placed like this..
maybee it have some counter wight in the hull at the oppiste side.
The front end loader is used in the cargo hull to make piles for the big digging grab to take..
The loader is hoisted by the main crane down in the cargo by using chains attached to the digging grab..
i only made 1 loader truck but in the configuration it actually have two of them on deck..
a nice detail thoug is the placement of the bridge at the middle of the crane tower..

I guess they know what they're doing, so I'll just appreciate the concept. That's interesting that they have two of those loaders just to move the load around. It will be weird for the drivers to be driving around in a pit out on the water! I agree with your comment about the bridge. It's good to have it up where it will be helpful all the time and then you don't need two sets of controls.
