legosamigos Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Hello everybody! This is my first topic, so please correct me if is something incorrect, does mean if I wrong posted or something like this. My favourite set is 9397, so I would like to show you my MOC inspired on this set up. My first creation based on 9397 was a tipper (dump) truck with trailer fully remoted control Dimensions of a truck: length-50 cm width-16 cm height-20 cm Dimensions of a trailer: length-44 cm width-12 cm height-16 cm I used to: 4 x PF M motor 2 x PF IR receiver 2 x PF IR remote cntrol 1 x PF battery box 1 x PF extention wire I now, that a steering is too fast, (I used knobs instead gears), but it was my first step in serious construction :) [media] [/media]Gallery at BS Edited April 21, 2013 by legosamigos Quote
Doc_Brown Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Welcome to Eurobricks! Simply stunning model, Well done. I can't fault anything. Brilliant job. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Welcome to Eurobricks. That is a fantastic looking truck you have made. Edited April 21, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
Bricksonwheels Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Great work, and welcome to Eurobricks! Quote
DLuders Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Nice MOC! Not all Americans had that "Southern twang" accent in 1975! C.W. McCall's "Convoy" song was a big hit back then, and your Kenworth model looks much like the real thing: Quote
legosamigos Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 I only based on 9397 set. Of course I changed some details, like the doors and "longnose". There are more the liftarms. 9397 set has a lot of gaps in the mask Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Wow! It looks just like the real one! I really like all the details! Quote
timslegos Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 The truck looks great, it really captures the feel of American trucks. tim Quote
Lost_In_Noise Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 This looks awesome! Looks like 2-3000 parts? Quote
legosamigos Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 This looks awesome! Looks like 2-3000 parts? It`s quite possible. I didn`t account Quote
Lakop Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Hi, Excellent work. I like the trailer and the colour scheme. The only way to better it would be to add suspension. H Quote
nxtstep101 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Welcome to Eurobricks! I like it! It looks very realisitic! Edited April 21, 2013 by nxtstep101 Quote
legosamigos Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 Hi, Excellent work. I like the trailer and the colour scheme. The only way to better it would be to add suspension. H This truck is demolished long long time ago and I don`t have shock absorbers Quote
rumpletump Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 There is no doubt you can build a good big dump truck from Technic so lets have a flagship TLG! Quote
Balrog Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 @legosamigos your trucks and trailers all look very cool. I am somewhat jealous about that huge parts investment. All those wheels and tires alone. Very impressive. The only thing I need to mention is, that all your trucks look very similar, but I guess that comes with building longnose trucks. Anyway, pretty good work. Looking at the upload dates, it is hard to believe they have gone unnoticed until now. Quote

Anyway, pretty good work. Looking at the upload dates, it is hard to believe they have gone unnoticed until now. Thank You. Well, they are similar, it`s true, because I like these trucks very much. When I was a child, I dreamed to sit inside this truck and drive. A cab is the same, I change only vehicle use Next model will be in May, probably Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Very nice looking trucks, and it's always nice to see more long-nose trucks! Quote
Lakop Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I am also jealous of the parts you have. Did you buy more than one model of 9397? It was something I was hoping to get myself. Those wheels are something I must get also. Keep them coming. H Quote
legosamigos Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Well, my colleague has some shop with Lego parts In Poland (it is like ebay) and always I have some discount :) I bought the parts earlier and now I rebuild my models. I`ve got only one real 9397 Edited April 22, 2013 by legosamigos Quote
Lost_In_Noise Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 If you use eZthumbs to batch-resize your pics, you can post them here in bigger size (800x600). I would love to see more, but browsing BrickShelf manually is a pain:-) Quote
Lakop Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 What is the size of those wheels, as used in 9397 and those stunning trucks. H Quote
