MOC Daf LF concept

It does feel better making compromises

i just started my crane chassis (just putting technic parts randomly) and it turned out very great.

Actually even close to TLG style, i decided to make it 8421 alike but Liebherr LTM 1100 style

with no PF drive but with an option to put it instead of the engine

I only put 1 motor in vehicle and 1 or 2 in the boom

I also thought of making a new kind of outriggers with a very complex mechanism.(gotta think very hard on it)

it does make things more fun!

i just love the feeling when u randomly put parts and "accidentally" having them in the PERFECT place.

i think this model would be a great success (if i don't get into troubles with it )

Anyways thanks for the tips!

i am always happy to hear from the professionals

Just for the record, I don't do this professionaly. It's just a hobby for me too, but I have been doing it for a long time.

I know the feeling of 'accidentally' finding the perfect part or place. I tend to plan my builds in advance, but there always are bits that need to be sorted out on the spot. Sometimes, after a long time of unsuccessfully fiddling with something, you get an idea all of a sudden and things just come together.

Good luck with your crane. I look forward to seeing it.

Cheers,

Ralph

Thanks!

Its quite hard making a huge vehicle from memory only (no sources to copy)

Although im inspired from Makorol's LTM 1050 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=438378

Unfortunately no space for special outriggers(battery box- little room).

Do you also have interesting projects? for future MOCS?

This is great, I love the compactness of it. So many functions in a small space. Love it!

I always have a long list of things that I want to build. Unfortunately I will have very little opportunity in the next few months to do any building. I have started a new job a few months ago and am far away from my LEGO collection most of the time.

Cheers,

Ralph
