Lundgren Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Maybe something like this, will add some more colors to it soon! Quote
Lundgren Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Well I wrote before that I want to build my own MOC so I started with some testings in LDD but found it very hard so instead I bought some pieces on BL. This is what i got so far. In the end hopefully it'll be a Scania Show Truck. The cheeseslopes will be black (just didn't have any at home yet) Quote
ritztoys Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Any hints as to what the rest of the Scania looks like? The rear looks interesting, will the chassis be "low" as some show trucks are? Give us a real picture of what you're building, I've never seen any "Show Trucks" in the USA. ( just EU only ) Quote
Lundgren Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I haven't built any more of it yet, I have the picture in my mind of how I want it to look. But I haven't decided yet if I will go with bonnet or not!? What do you think is the coolest? Edited July 1, 2014 by Lundgren Quote
ritztoys Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Granted, both of those trucks are beautiful, I for one would build the Scania conventional nose, as you planned. This way you could develop your own unique trailer to go with your new truck. Looks like you'll need to invest in lots of Chrome when building either truck. The grill guard looks just like the one in the Racing Truck Set # 5563. I purchased two kits many years ago for the wheels and doors, that I used in Jennifer Clarks' Demag Crane. If we were closer, I'd sell you my 2nd one! ( that's now complete again ) The Scania would probably thunder when being driven................FOUR EXHAUST PIPES!! :thumbup: Edited July 1, 2014 by ritztoys Quote

Lundgren Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 Not really sure I get what you mean anton1678!? They are both Scania's just different models. Scania doesn't produce any more trucks with bonnet nowadays. (Length rules VS cargo space) The gunfighter is a tanker and the ladders is for inspection. Well back to my build, not much more but some minor changes that did alot for the looks of it! Now I'm pleased! Quote
Lundgren Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Trailer almost done, just some DR left! And the rotator wrecker is waiting for some parts to be continued! "Black Cat & Black Bat" ;) More to come! ;) Edited July 11, 2014 by Lundgren Quote
Lundgren Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Today I'm building the beautiful Liebherr L580 by M Longer. Quote
Lundgren Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Well, now I've finished Grazi's wonderful Tow Truck. And now I have all the parts needed to build Dikkie Klijn's XL Tow Truck. But first I've to build 2Legoornot2Lego's US Truck T2 so it can pull the log trailer ;) Then I've built some more on my Scania, I decided to go with the T144 530 V8 It'll be something like this. That's all for now, will continue on my Scania now. Quote
Nalyd997 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Jeez you have a lot if Lego, however compared to Blakbird... Quote
Lundgren Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Haha well it's a pretty big collection that i have, but as compared to Blackbird well you said it But my Lego room is in a mess right now, don't really know how i should organize everything?? Every cardbordbox is full of lego. All my other Lego collection i have put away in cabinets until my new workshop is built then i will have everything on display behind a glass wall. Edited November 10, 2014 by Lundgren Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Well, we all can tell you have a lot of LEGO, you must have because of building all these amodels... How to organize all your LEGO will always be a challenge! The SCANIA is evolving quite well... Keep it up, little by little you are getting closer to finish it. After all it is so rewarding to see you switching a little to building your own MOC!!! What scale are you building this SCANIA? I notice a width of 20 studs while mine are only 18 studs... That XL Tow Truck of Dikkie Klijn is a nice one too! I know the builder quite well and I wish you much fun building this beauty!!! In the mean time I am working my rear end of to get the lowboy finished by the end of this month! So keep your self a little money to build it as well... :laugh: :laugh:...

Lundgren Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Well I'm not 100% satisfied with the front fender on my Scania so i have made a new version of it in LDD so i'll just have to order som parts that i need to build it then i'll show some new pics! In the meen time I started on your T2! Well you know i've been longing for you lowboy for a while now! Dikkies tow truck will have to wait a little bit longer! Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) The parts of that tow truck will not walk away I guess... You definitely need more room, this to store all LEGO and the models you are collecting/building Plus, I am looking forward to see the upgraded SCANIA front end! Nice to see the T2 "growing"! Are you adding headlights or are you saving yourself some money? Which I could imagine for sure!!! About the lowboy, I am half way through. It is complex to create instructions for. Not because it is particularly complex, well maybe it is, but the way I gave it strength makes it harder to communicate with other who to build it. Never the less will I manage to have them finished at the start of December and you get what you want rapidly!!! A nice Christmas present perhaps... What is this black "thing" sitting on your desk at the left? It appears to be sort of roof, for the SCANIA? I also notice you are supporting your models, is this to save both the tires and rubber belts? Edited November 13, 2014 by 2LegoOrNot2Lego... Quote
Lundgren Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Hehe nope the parts will remain in the box I hope! Yes I'll have more room in a year or two, 60 square meters to be precise. Then hopefully it'll take some time to fill up with your models! :grin: Well I understand you completely I have just started to get familiar to LDD and that's nothing compared to you guys who makes great instructions! The black thing is exactly what you thought, the roof for the Scania, but far from done! Oh and btw yes I'm cheapening up on the PF lights, feels better to buy parts for my money instead! Yep the cones and the bricks under the front fenders is just to "save" the rubber bands! Edited November 13, 2014 by Lundgren Quote
Lundgren Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Well now I think I'm satisfied with the front of my Scania. Feels a bit smoother than the other one. The various colors is just so it's easier to see in LDD Edited November 14, 2014 by Lundgren Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Great that you will have more space in the future. I'll try to hold my horses for a while so it give you time to get your room finished...no I won't... :laugh: We all have to start with anything new somewhere so please don't rush the LDD thing. Just take your time to get used to it, you are doing a great job already!!! The new front end of your T144 is smoother indeed! I understand completely your are saving yourself some money on the LEGO LED lights. Those light units are quite expensive and not really nessecary. Never the less do I have to install them, I tried one without, but I don't like it at all... The model I have in my show case are support as well. The only difference is that I use transparant 2 x 2 round bricks and those are located between the front and rear axles under the trucks frame. This way you can hardly tell it is supported, which is not really important. Also is it better for the model it self. By supporting it the way I do the model does not intent to bend under its own weight...just a thought for you and other to think over... Quote
Lundgren Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks Ingmar! I will continue on my Scania right now, I just finished your T2 truck now! (well missing some crome but that will come later on) (The supports are just temporary when they are sitting here on my desk) Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Your desk is evidently to small... I don't think you can wait for two more years... Nice to see this combination finished, thanks again for your interest! Quote
Lundgren Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Haha yes it's very small right now! ;) good thing I bought 4 of them when I bought them. It's you that should have all the thanks! I just love to build your creations! Edited November 16, 2014 by Lundgren Quote
Kumbbl Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I specially liked the Creator set 4403, I've said that it's a shame the TLG doesn't produce Model Team anymore but actually the do! :D If you have built this helicopter you know what I mean! ;) yes - i agree about the Heli 4403 (the big red one in the middle). IMHO best Lego Heli-set released so far - despite the also very good 9396 and 8856 - but the 4403 looks gorgeous and it has a really ingeniously designed rotor driving mechanism which results in an outstanding swooshing-ability and playablity... IMHO a must build for any technic(!) lover... Quote
