       Accessories





       In issue six of TPM magazine, I introduced a new model manufacturer, MSM (Mountain Scale Manufacturing),
       a model producer based in Liechtenstein developing and producing 3d printed models of accessories which
       make great diorama pieces or loads for vehicles. They have been busy over the last 12 months with a number
       of new products which we now take a closer look at here. For full details of MSM’s range of models, check
       out their online shop www.msm-modelle.com/shop or drop them an email to msm@hofiweb.li

       Crane Mats
       The crane support mats are available in five different
       sizes ranging from 100t to 500t in 100t increments.
       Each set consists of a grey coloured storage frame that
       hold the four yellow-coloured mats which have red
       squares in the centres and raised corner nubs to allow
       them to stack neatly.

                      The frames have holes                         Shown here are three sizes, all coming complete with grey
                      where chains can be                          coloured holder frame contrasting well with the yellow mats.

                                                                                         fit onto the beds of various trailers.
                                                                                         Shown here on the deck of a

                                         The mats work well with any size crane, as shown here
