allanp Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 To save derailing this topic, I've started a new one for the whole "for men" thing. Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I posted the following in a wrong thread (the crane thread), so here it is again. Mods, please delete and/or merge my post over in the crane thread. Sorry. The plane has working ailerons, and there appears to be a control stick above the aft fuselage, similar to the current cargo plane. The tail is not very visible in the pictures, but I would guess that we will have working elevators as well. Hopefully, there will be a working rudder too. I think I spot a 2 cylinder horizontally opposed engine. Quote
legonerd54321 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I'm new to Technic, but I do have a few Technic sets. I really want the Crawler Crane. It looks so big.. Quote
Citromon Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I know that everyone will hate me but this truck is ugly! No doubt it's a great parts pack and new pneumatics!!! but for displaying... The Unimog look far better than this one. Quote
Milan Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 No one will hate you. You just expressed your opinion. This is one of the sets that you grow to like over time. Quote
Jim Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 No one will hate you. You just expressed your opinion. This is one of the sets that you grow to like over time. Agreed! I personally don't think it's ugly. It pretty much resembles the real deal, which is great. However, the color scheme makes it look a bit pale. Looking at it in real life will probably change one's opinion. Quote

Maybe when I see him in real life or at last on a good quality review I will change my opinion. But now I stay between this one and the UCS Slave 1. Quote

jantjeuh Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The model is quite ugly (IMO) because the real counterpart is also not the best looking However, I'm more interested in the functionality. Quote
Freekysch Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Overall the truck is superb, can not find anything wrong with it. On the other side, But, I must admit I would have liked a more detailed cab, like 8258 had. The lights are somehow ugly (and do not resemble the real thing in any way), and the overall look of the cab is unfinished. Quote
Emmi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Promobricks told me that TLG doesn't allow to take pictures of the back of the boxes (Technic). UPDATE: There's definitely more pictures coming, including the Fire Plane, Promobricks took a lot of pictures and will post them in due time - best thing is to follow his twitter feed https://twitter.com/promobricks or the website http://www.promobricks.de/ Edited January 30, 2015 by Emmi Quote
Conchas Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Promobricks told me that TLG doesn't allow to take pictures of the back of the boxes (Technic). Maybe because there is nothing printed in the boxes rearside... That's common to see in such early box mockups, at least I saw some like that in the past. Quote
Emmi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Maybe because there is nothing printed in the boxes rearside... That's common to see in such early box mockups, at least I saw some like that in the past. Yeah, that's it. Quote
Mestari Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 There is another thing with all those recent models and it already starts to show. The new red can soon be white :) First 42000, then 42025, we have 42039 and now 42043 partially white. There are already a few superb white MOCs out there and I'm sure more will soon come. Can't wait:) Quote
Jockos Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Don't forget 42032 and 42033 :-) And for the colours I would like to see a BLACK set again. Quote
Jockos Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 No, I am not Batman, just Joker!!!!!! Ahahahahahahahaha!!! Quote
dr_spock Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I know that everyone will hate me but this truck is ugly! No doubt it's a great parts pack and new pneumatics!!! but for displaying... The Unimog look far better than this one. Yup, that's how that grille look on the real thing. You could always mod the grille on the truck to a different Mercedes style. Quote
AndroTech Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) What about this ... Edited January 30, 2015 by AndroTech Quote
Milan Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 That is one fugly truck Matter of taste, but that one has just three grill levels/ Quote
davidmull Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Looks great I think very modern truck design. Quote
N-4K0 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I think the MB truck in post #2044 looks awesome. The design is really nice and cool for a truck IMO. Quote
Ondra Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I like arocs cabin, its very modern so its pretty to see something innovative on roads. That three layers cab, is for smaller cabin and not that high as that 4 axle version. Edited January 31, 2015 by Ondra Quote
rollermonkey Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 What about this ... I think you just found the picture the designer used to model the front of the cab on this set. No matter if you think it ugly or not, you can't say it isn't accurate. Quote
