BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 OK, That's it. We're done! The MOC is done! Today I finalised some stuff, added some details, modified the raising for the container, and added the paper. The full video has been shot and will be uploaded shortly. Here are the final pictures: And a comparison shot: the model contains around 2000 pieces. Also, a surprising fact about this model: It is made from parts only from 42043! So in essence, it is a C model. Thanks for stopping by! Please leave some thoughts on the model, it is greatly appreciated. BrickbyBrickTechnic Quote
offroadcreations Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Wow, this is amazing! Very realistic and recognisable, very clean and smooth, nothing sticking out too much. Even cooler that it's a c-model. Also, I have noticed that the quality of your MOCs are improving. Not that your earlier ones were bad quality. You started a good builder, and IMO you keep getting better. Keep it up!  Quote

Keep it up!  Thank you so much! Your comment means alot to me; I'm happy that at least 1 person sees the improvement I'm trying to make in my MOC quality. Your mocs are quite nice, too Quote

TechnicRCRacer Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) I have been watching too and I love your MOCs! This truck kicks it up a notch and looks excellent! Hope there will be instructions You sure built this fast!! Edited July 17, 2017 by TechnicRCRacer Quote
Paknaloid Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Bravo! I love it my only very small thing that I would have changed would be maybe to make some custom stickers for the paper.  However: 1) it looks great 2) it is unique and unusual 3) it looks like it has good playability 4) kudos as it is a true C model, and what's more from a set I actually own, so if you did instructions I'd definitely be making it! fantastic work, and so fast as well Quote
ColletArrow Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Good work. It's perhaps a shame about the blue pneumatic hose in the middle, would a longer one fixed to one of the arms perhaps work? Even swapping it for LBG or black would help make it less conspicuous, and I think that would greatly improve the cleanliness of an otherwise excellent c-model. Also, now you need to build a plane for it to serve! Quote
Erik Leppen Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 I really like how it turned out! Especially knowing it's a C-model. It doesn't look like any compromises were taken, and I like the original subject. I think you should try to get it on Rebrickable if you have the time to do instructions. Somehow it inspires me to try a similar type of truck one day. I might, some day... :) Quote

In the picture it looks stretched, but it is not in real life. 7 hours ago, Aventador2004 said: He isn't the only one, I have been watching your mocs closely, and you were one of the first members I met.

1gor Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) What to add to this incredible moc? Perhaps LEGO should reconsidder and turn back the clock and make Mercedes Benz Econic like yours as B-model. There is Econic airport model line in Mercedes Benz truck production. I envy you how fast can you make models, I'm still struggling with front axle for my Unimog because there is no liftarm with 8 holes (and I do not want to cut anything...). As I allready said very well done Edited July 17, 2017 by I_Igor Quote

Paknaloid Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 This is so good, fantastic playability! I'm looking forward to the instructions, definitely want to try this one out  congrats again, on a lovely MOC Quote
ColletArrow Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Very good. One thing I did notice only from the video, especially during the driving demonstration, is that the rear half of the chassis seems to be drooping under the weight of the Battery Box. Perhaps it needs some reinforcement? Quote

Perhaps it needs some reinforcement? It does, but because the rear suspension is a live axle, I couldn't fix the BB mount to it. I could try to do a fix and put it in the instructions. Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 You should totally put this on Lego Ideas! Quote
AFOLegofan66 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 very nice MOC with lots of functions!! As a C-model this works well....great job! Quote
