MOD - Cement Mixer, from 7990 to 60018

[niteangel]

I have the previous blue cement mixer 7990, and I like it very much. Then now Lego redoes it and releases a new yellow one! Since I don't have unlimited space and I don't need another one, I think maybe it is a good idea to modify the old car to the new style! That will as well let me learn some new techniques from the instruction book :D

So there you go :D I haven't got the pair of car doors yet and so I just use what the original provides.

You may notice that I have one stud longer for the head of the truck. I think the original yellow build is too short, and so I extend it on the side without interfering the mixer connection behind it.

The middle part linking to the base of the mixer is interesting. For the back part, I use another method to build a non-one-piece deflector or guide or what's-its-name thing :)

Turns out it still works! Anyone has done a mod on the cement mixer yet? :) Thanks for watching!

I love it!

I'm the same way, I have the older model. Blue is better than yellow. I just don't see the point in another, but the new design is awesome. I love your MOD.
