mtMOClug Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 After picking up a few of the LEGO Power Miners 8957 Mine Mech back when they were first released I really wanted to use the rollcage (LEGO element 64450 Windscreen 6 x 4 x 3 1/3 Roll Cage) from the set to create a more realistic rollcage on a farm tractor MOC. Then I picked up the LEGO 7731 Truck & Forklift set. The original rollcage on the forklift was okay... but I knew the rollcage from the Power Miners' set would be a good fit... and hopefully improve the look. The forklift build was easy enough, and the forklift mechanism really makes the action realistic. Once upon a time I was a licenced forklift operator so this was a real treat. The only thing missing from the forklift I drove is the propane tank, but I could overlook it, and consider the LEGO forklift to be electric. A minimum number of elements are required to do this mod. In fact you could use a broad assortment to achieve the same look and result. Quote
Modulex Guy Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Wow, you did the same thing I did! As soon as I saw the new Power Miners sets with the rollcages, I thought... "perfect for a fork lift!" I built one too, but your's looks better. Quote
Tom Bricks Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Great job, this looks like any forklift I have seen except the backs seem a bit bigger. Nice job on the MOD though. Quote
