I think it is enough, I found another problem and is all mine, I don´t know how to finish it I always see another way to build or change or improve it so this is the end I want to build another things. I will make better pics, a video and the instructions, I think to sell them for 3 euros, what do you think?, I won´t be a rich man but all my work will have a litlle reward , in the case I sell more than one .

AFOLegofan66 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I think 3 euro's is not enough but it is a really nice dump truck...look forward to building it!! Quote
jorgeopesi Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) The dumper is finished but the work continues... Anybody knows where is the new big pump in the MLCAD?, the one you can see is the old yellow in blue... Edited September 28, 2017 by jorgeopesi Quote

This is my anti dark ages MOC, the only thing I do is improve it and improve it . I sent the provisional instructions to a friend and he did a review and some photos. The improved version hasn´t got the linkage between the bed and the truck to make it more simple, I hope the bed angle will be enough. Quote
AFOLegofan66 Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 I really like this little truck...good luck with the improvements!! Quote
jorgeopesi Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 I hope the improvements are enough for the rebirth of the thread... I was happy with the dumper but I knew it could be better so I tried to improved it. I made the bed smaller and easier to remove, I reinforced the rear axle and I eliminated the linkage to lift the bed. I have to finish it again. Quote

Life cycle of every moc lasts as long as we improve it; when we stop improoving it moc is Dead I hope to finish (one side) and send you to see smaller bullbar which finaly fit proportions Edited January 21, 2018 by I_Igor Quote
jorgeopesi Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 The only thing my semi or pre dark-ages allows me to do is play with MLCAD, so I almost have the instructions of the functional MOC. Now I can dismantle the truck and wait for inspiration... anyway I will leave the instructions here in case someone wants to see its construction, I think it is a hard, functional and playable truck. I would have to put tubes, pneumatic switch, steering wheel and some aesthetics... Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I like your ability to back to the same MOC again and again, and improve it every time! Excellent work! Also... Couldn't those 5x7 frames be black? I recently got my order of the new frames. Quote

Excellent work! Also... Couldn't those 5x7 frames be black? I recently got my order of the new frames. I think is an ability and a curse because sometimes I do not advance because I feel I can do even better, in a small MOC you reach optimization but in a big one the simple despair. You are right, the truth is that in such little truck we have 5 of those panels maybe in black would be better, now I can change the MLCAD . Edited May 28, 2018 by jorgeopesi Quote
1gor Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 From my experience use black on axles, and light bluish gray on middle of the frame where usually sits transmission and at the front where is engine To use all black is nice, but sometimes it is to much black. Quote
AFOLegofan66 Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 This is a very cool truck upgrade....really nice! I built the first one and it is great but I will give this new one a try! Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Great build! It's a shame TLG doesn't do those hubs in yellow more often. Quote
