tennispro160 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hi, I am interested in building a modular display with my Lego sets. I have recently purchased the Cinema Display and Parisian Restaurant. I will also add a few more soon including Detectives Office, Brick Bank, and possible MOCs. I would love to have a crane in my city as I build the difference sets. I have looked at the Lego Technic Crawler Crane 42042, and it looks amazing, but I am worried about the scale. Does anyone have experience with the size of this crane as it sits next to modulars or can anyone offer advice on another crane option that is available or hasn't shot up too far in price after retirement? Thank you! I read these forums daily and love to learn from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The technic crane is the wrong scale. Try looking for city cranes like 60076, 7632, 7633, or 7249. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the 7633 set. 7633 was $100 msrp but it's been gone a while. Try to find a used one or maybe just bricklink the crane. That is a cool crane. I wouldn't mind having one for my own modular town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
