lightningtiger Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Comparing a real one with this Lego one, and it sort of misses on a few points so........ This is actually a W.I.P. still so any comments are welcome and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
awesomebrick Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 That's great lightning tiger Way better than the original do you mind if I use this? Quote
BlueBard Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Really nice design! Love the "rounded" sections in the back and the sides Quote
Ralph_S Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 It looks a lot more serious than the one from the set. Nice. Can I suggest that you add a tile to the sides of the caterpillar tracks somehow? Sticking it to Technic half pins stuck into the wheels might already do the trick. Right now those wheels look a bit out of place. Cheers, Ralph Quote
Milan Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Can I suggest that you add a tile to the sides of the caterpillar tracks somehow? You read my thought. That would be nice improvement. Quote
FinalFeature Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 It looks much better now that it has been moded lightningtiger. Good job! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 Okay, now thanks you to........ 'awesomebrick' 'BardBlue' 'Ralph_S' 'Milan' 'LegoGalactus' 'dr_spock' whew ! Thanks for all the comments.........Yes I will be putting a tile on both sides, plus putting a dozer blade back on as well. It is partly based a models from JCB. Post fresh pictures a.s.a.p. so I'm a conformist! everyone ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 G'day everyone ! I've been busy again ! And it's still a W.I.P. and feel free to pass comment etc., - any advice very welcome. The prime mover is the original 7633 one but I have totally striped it down and started all over again, but I'm missing some parts so I get those a.s.a.p. ! Note the ladder to gain access to the fuel drum, tool rack and chain cabinet. The digger now also has a dozer blade on the front as well ! Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
awesomebrick Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Lightning tiger strikes again More great MOD's keep up the good work Quote
ImLost Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Great work, lightlingtiger! The orginal 7633 excavator was cute, but maybe a little too cute for a construction site. Your additions definately made it more capable of some heavy lifting! You know, the 7633 set was the first set I bought since coming out of my dark ages earlier this year. In fact, I loved it so much, I bought two! So now, I have a pair of those mini escavators. After seeing your adjustments, I'm tempted to mod mine! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks 'awesomebrick' and 'ImLost' for your kind comments - again thank you. I hope I can inspire people to MOD their sets as others have imspired yours truly ! Once I'm finished with this truck/trailier/digger combo - it's back to buildings again - more shops and more work to be done to the medical centre. I'm a conformist! ! Quote
dr_spock Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Nice transport, lightningtiger. I like all things heavy transport. Keep on building them. Do you need to have placards on the trailer in AUS when transporting a drum of fuel? Quote

Yes when I get more sticker material I'll sticker the drum and trailier etc.,. I'm a conformist! ! Quote
marvinblue Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) I did a quick bit of research and you only have to placard the truck (in Australia, specifically QLD) if it's more than 50L. I think, however an excavator would take more than 50L of diesel. I love what you've done to the truck and excavator though. They both look great! Edited March 22, 2010 by marvinblue Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) Thanks 'marvinblue' for your comments and information too ! I still have to finsh the prime mover yet. I'm a conformist! ! Edited March 22, 2010 by lightningtiger Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Subtle design changes, but very smart decisions-- curious what you've done to the XXL crane in the 7633?? Quote

Thanks 'Mr Elijah Timms' for your comment, the crane - well let me think about that - might check out some local crane companies and come up with some thing ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
