Effe's MOC Corner

[efferman]

not really a building process of a moc, but the base there will they been done in future. Because building on floor is history for me.

Surely you have more Lego than that? Oh, and hows the Flatbed tow truck coming along? You've been busy with the 9397 crane, so i suspect little, I may be wrong.

currently my focus is on the 9397 rc mod

[Robert M]

Fair be it, and pictures at the moment? Are you just modding it for RC, or rebuilding the whole model completely to fit everything in easier?

[efferman]

9397 is in fact big enough to make it RC, but it will be a completely overhaul to eliminate all the optical bugs. for pictures it is too early. when the bonnet is finished it will give the first pictures.

[efferman]

thanks

what is your opinion about the shape of the cab (not finished)?

[ciken]

i love it

[Milan]

Perfect!

I like that there are not visible gapes.

Shape is great.

[Robert M]

Cab is fine, just one question, why are you building from the outside in? Surely it would be better to build the internals first, so you know you can fit everything in. Not saying it's wrong, not doubting it, just wonder why you've chosen this way.

[efferman]

well, it is easier to build a chassis for a finished shape, than make a shape for a existing chassis. the internals are mostly the smallest problem.

[timslegos]

I love the cab! You have managed to use studdless without looking "holey".

Looks great,i am not sure about those front mudgards.

[efferman]

whats wrong with the mudguards?

[Alasdair Ryan]

In the picture you posted,the front of the mudgards look too flat,(not round enough).

[efferman]

better now?

[Alasdair Ryan]

Not really it needs to be the same as the back of it.

[Robert M]

If you'r talking about the shape of the circle, I'd say you've pretty much cracked it. The mudguards on trucks when you type in Logging trucks show that they are not full round, they more like egg shaped, and only have a portion of the full oval. If your talking about the back, as in back of the truck, then I don't think it has been built yet so can't be compared. On the whole, I'm not sure I know what you mean, so don't count this as anything.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Yeb just leave them.

[Firky]

I would say they are spot on!

[efferman]

i have built a new grapple for the crane. the original is me too wide so i shrinked it from 6 to 5 studs width.

[Alasdair Ryan]

I think the grab should be 3 stud's wide,if you look in the picture i posted above you can see a good grab.

[Firky]

Thats a nice grapple you have there.

I have just start a thread on on Grippers / Claw / Grapples your input would be hugely appreciated.
