Model Team: DAF TurboTwin X1

[Good old Lego builder]

Tiny update: I did't have much time past months, so only a small step forward, the thing has wheels now. I spend a lot of time searching for al the ads on the TurboTwin. If found most of them. I need to continue building the chassis, but first I will go on Holiday.

I think it's a good thing to integrate an old school design with cutting-edge features, in doing so the style will be preserved over time.

Ps. this comment is not a criticism

I'm glad to hear that. Few MOCs these days lack power functions, but a good MOC don't need those. I think this looks good enough.

Right now i'm enjoying my vacation in.... Denmark, so the finish of the little project has to wait. Guess what we are going to visit next week.....

Thanks for the comments. I know it is not cutting edge. I am building with leftovers, so that also limits the proces. And of course im old, so the snot thing is something i have not completely grasped... :-)

i really like your project man!

everyone, me included, use studless....your project reminds me of the old model team when i was a kid ^^

well done!

[Good old Lego builder]

It is inspired by the classic model team. It actually uses parts of the big american truck of those days. And tnanks for the comment.

Well, we are back home from Denmark, and Legoland! My son, 4 years old went to play with the not completely finished Turbotwin. 'Look, I can steer! Is it finished now?'

'Almost'

And then he drove it of my desk. Total loss.

Then, with much enjoyment, he started to brake it down.

'All the wheels came of! Hahahaha! Look, I can get the pieces of eachother all by myself!'

Oh well, that happens. I call that the end of this little project.

He has build, with a little help his first City set, so I can't be mad at him. Lego is that much fun to play with, and to break it down....
