Hope you are not bored yet?
Another early morning shot when I'd forgotten to add an hour to the time Sun Surveyor told me Blue Hour would start! This is a combination of 6 bracketed shots to try to get all the dynamic range.
Science museum on the left, the Assut d'Or Bridge in the centre, Agora behind it and The Umbracle on the upper right.
The scaffold tower you can see on the left was far too obvious in some compositions. Even worse was the day after a bright orange telehandler arrived and set itself up by the scaffolding so it really was a struggle to shoot this part of the complex. A few days later I was shooting another composition and the telehandler moved into that one. I was beginning to feel persecuted!

These are my Kuiphuis Scania with Liebherr crane, from early 2023, and my new Actros with a trailer and Sennebogen telehandler. I like building new models that fit a particular theme, so when I was looking to rebuild my Mercedes Actros in a new livery and found that Kuiphuis operated an interesting one, the choice was easy.
Not my usual day at the office, but I know I'm lucky to have such a wide variety of things to do in my job (no, I can't drive a digger).
The weather was just starting to turn a bit nasty as we left the site and the sky was really dramatic over the lime kilns and full-size Tonka toy.
This was taken with my Moto G7 phone, so not ideal and there is no RAW file to edit. In post-processing, I've fixed some of the lens distortion and balanced the lighting between the sky and the ground.
I often plan my models a long time in advance but this was an exception. It started when I decided to build a new Mercedes Arocs tractor to replace my Mammoet Mercedes Actros. By now they are fairly old trucks and Mammoet does not seem to use them any more. I still did quite like my LEGO Actros design, though, so I started looking for another suitable livery to build it in. By coincidence, Kuiphuis, the crane rental company one of whose cranes I built about three years ago, happens to operate at least one to pull trailers that carry telehandlers, and a new idea for a model was born.
This unusual vehicle is a telehandler / telescopic handler by the German manufacturer Sennebogen. Such vehicles can be used in a wide variety of tasks, depending on the different attachments: as a mobile cranes or off-road forklift or, as shown here, as a cherry picker.
Square bales when I was a lad could be hurled up onto a trailer with a pitchfork, these days they have grown a bit, you can only load them with Telehandler or Load-all. Maybe a Jeff Capes Strong Man.
Building the cab was a major challenge, because I wanted it to fit a figure. As a result, it is marginally too long. The front and rear wheels have working steering.
.......must come down.............. After the wheat was harvested in the field in Birchington earlier in the day, the straw was then baled. These bales were then collected, and then stacked up by the bale stacker (seen on the right.) The large stack was then dismantled by a telehandler, and loaded onto trailers, one of which is seen on the left here. It was certainly an interesting operation to watch.
4th August 2019
Kuiphuis is a crane rental company, but also rents out telehandlers under the name "Verreiker Verhuur Oost" ("Telehandler Rental East"), as the company is based in the east of the Netherlands. When designing the model, I feared that it would not be visually all that interesting, with all the yellow, but as it neared completion, I started to like it more and more, as there are plenty of details in other colours.
The Fairbright Finch came from a lineage of notably stable three-wheeled vehicles. It was therefore ideally suited to handling heavy boxes of cargo. The front legs could be adjusted to fit around the various pieces of spacecraft and docks that were being loaded. These cheap and versatile vehicles were a common sight at smaller spaceports, across the galaxy.
Well here we are 2020 is marching on even as we speak, the evenings are pulling out and the festivities are all but a memory.🌞
Funny I should mention the festivities as the village Christmas tree and decorations are taken down each year by a jovial bunch of volunteers. Some of the volunteers are the most highly qualified drinkers the village has ever assembled for this task.
Leading this operation is our own Hoof who is the one blessed with brains in these type of demanding situations. 🎄💡💡💡
Horace is more of a hands on type of person driving the telehandler and wielding a chainsaw in that order. Before you ask, yes he wears all the necessary protective clothing especially the cut resistant trousers which have the ability to instantly stall a chainsaw running at full power should it slip, after all Horace needs to look after his wedding tackle.🚜⚙️ (Check these trousers out on You Tube)
Hoof always contacts the local electricity board and gets permission to disconnect the lights from the tree, they normally ask “at watt time are you going to do it” Hoof responds we don’t want any resistance to this request or there may be a revolt by the lights committee.💡💡💡⚡️⚡️⚡️🔌🔌🔌
Once the lights and tree are down, we take a break for elevenses and the ladies of the WI very kindly provide trays of food led by their chairperson Bertha Thomas, and before you ask she does not have a brother called (no I am not going to say that name, stop it)☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰
Following these very welcome refreshments, there is a scurry of activity and the village is cleared of its Christmas decorations for another year.
Now as you all know 2019 was the year of the pig according to the Chinese zodiac, so it was felt that this achievement by Horace should be celebrated, yes a debrief of his years activities needed to be carried out in the pub.🐷 🎯🏨
As is the norm in our local pub following such an achievement much beer is thrown around the place. Also the world record for drinking the yard of ale is often broken during the celebrations. A few sea chanties are sung and everyone behaves in a very sensible manner.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🎤🎤🎸🎷🎺😇
Having been such a busy day Horace decided to sit down with some of his chums at a table in the pub and hold court.
Then a customer looks over and walks towards Horace and asks “does your dog bite” Horace responded my dog has never bitten anyone, so the man put his hand down to stroke the dog and it bit right into his hand.
“Here said the man, you told me your dog doesn’t bite” Horace said “that’s not my dog”.🐶😁
Thank you all so much for viewing my images, the comments are so appreciated, enjoy your weekend🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷😎🐎🐷😂😂😂
The trailer carries the telehandler, but also all the associated attachments, such as the platform (seen attacked to the telehandler) and the fork attachment. There is also a lattice jib for when the telehandler is used as a crane, but I have yet to figure out how to build it / buy the right part.
The Lego crane boom is really a stud or so too long, but I like that I can extend it, so I felt using it is an acceptable compromise.

A Minifig scale Telehandler.
Telescopic boom with forklift or bucket attachments. Feature a 3 wide cab.
I struggled to find decent pictures of this combo, but was able to piece it together by combining pictures of different trucks and telehandlers. I have a few pictures of the tractor and several of the trailer being pulled by an older Scania. Overall, I think it's about as accurate as I can make it without seeing it in real life. The trailer seems to be custom-built by a Dutch company called ESVE Trailers. The Lego version was tricky, in particular because of the wells that allow the telehandler to sit a bit lower.

The telehandler is intended as the cargo for my Kuiphuis Mercedes Actros and is in Kuiphuis livery. Kuiphuis is a crane and telehandler rental company in the east of the Netherlands.
The POLI is the most common lifter for loading and unloading containers and freight. It is cheap, light, green and reliable.
Happy New Year Everyone! Here's the first model of 2019.
Mini Telehandler for loading and unloading pallets and various equipment. All wheel steering and due to the steering design the wheels have a basic suspension.
The three stage boom is borrowed from Criga88's telehandler design.

I am totally obsessed with how vehicles look, regardless of their purpose. For me the current generation Manitou telehandlers are not only beautifully proportioned, but are a feast of asymmetrical industrial design. Which unusual vehicles float your boat?
I wanted to photograph this with a brick-built fork lift attachment too, but here in the UK the postal service is stretched past capacity, so some key parts were delayed. So I can only show you the moveable arm with a rather nice single piece LEGO bucket.
Yeah, it's done, it's finally over! For a while I promised myself to build something else than trucks. I thought of some heavy equipment. A while back I made a tracked dumper , a bulldozer and a wheelloader .
In the street where I work there is a company who uses telehandler and I really wanted to build one!
This one was way harder than the previous. The chassis was done is an hour, and then I really didn't know how to continue. It took me well over a year to to come back to this project, but now I wanted it finished for a show in Goes this weekend. So I got myself together again and in one evening it was finished.
The POLI's main use is loading and unloading cargo from Utility Vehicles of all kinds. The model can hold the weight of the container without falling and is actually quite stable.
Due to work travel, I have had precious little time to build in the last month. However, besides the Mercedes Arocs I posted last week, I have been building a trailer and its load, a telehandler, for the Mercedes Actros. It has been slow-going. I could not figure out how to build the telehandler's cab at first, and also struggled with the wheel wells for the trailer.

This the Sennebogen 608 with a forklift attachment. The vehicle is a bit unusual because, like some cranes, the cab for its operator is moveable, to increase visibility from the cab.
Lego Technic Merlo ROTO Telehandler in 1:11 scale.
The dimensions: 80 x 25 x 30 cm, total weight – 5,7 kg. The max height is 83 cm. The model contains approximately 5100 parts. The model has eight remote controlled functions (three S-bricks, 14 motors).
I’m a big fan of cargo-hauling and industrial equipment. A long time ago, I built a lowboy trailer for my MAN truck and a telehandler as its cargo load for transport. Since then, the model has been sitting untouched on my shelf. I was never fully satisfied with the solutions I used back then – the rear was too fragile, and the main boom couldn’t hold even the smallest weight. Recently, I decided it was time to revamp the model and address these issues. So, let me introduce you to its upgraded version!
The yellow color scheme was accented with some light orange to imitate the worn-out look of used machinery. The boom has been significantly improved – it can now hold more weight and remains stable, even when fully extended. The weakest link now is the ratchet piece, which will give out before the boom does.
I’m thrilled with how the updated version turned out and hope you enjoy the model as much as I do. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
The little fella gets to rust in peace on Sunday.
We’re Here! Rusting in Peace
