BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 UPDATE TIME! This update fixes some issues with the tractor, and the attachment decision has almost been made. I have narrowed it down to 2 choices: On 10/9/2017 at 7:37 AM, Paknaloid said: @BrickbyBrickTechnic Slurry slurry slurry slurry slurry!!!! And this one here: As well, @Aventador2004 said I should change the rear lights. So, which look better? Aventador's suggestion: Both look pretty good. Please give some input. Thank you!

I think they look fine both ways, just without bending sideways. The bottom are more realistic, due to the top ones facing downward, unlike the real thing. The lights on the saddle tra c face directly outward, not down. If you find a solution, without flimsyness, it will work. Quote

Paknaloid Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 This is looking wonderful! And yet another reason to get 42054 - what is this now, an E model?! Quote

1gor Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Saddle Trac ended interesting, but I'm waiting to see trailer construction. I hope that everything would be LEGO made Quote

You'll see what is dooable. There is always possible to make something different than original plan when parts are missing, so look at this as challenge for your creativity Quote
