42062 Container transport mods and improvements

[efferman]

 

Actually iam modding the container transport. Unfortunately only digital, because my left arm is disabled.

The truck in the set looks a bit unfinished, so i have extended the wheelbase by on stud and added some parts to get a cleaner look. the semitrailer should still be compatible without modding

Very nice, after watching the review of the b model, any chance you can try modding the steering on the b model truck?.

I can think of a member who might think you insufficiently motivated if that's preventing you from building. 

;)

I suspect that Grum64 could school you on this topic.

Grum64 has my deep respect. Now i know how hard building must be for him and how he is mastering his constriction is admirable. 

my constriction is only temporary and with the ldd i have a good replacement tu build in a acceptabe speed.

 

btw, whats your opinion about these mudguard?

[Mantarri]

Looks nice IMHO, your mods to the semi & trailer look nice too.

P.S. Get well soon, drink your noodle soup!

in meanwhile it became a complete conversion with better steering angle. lifting the boom with a small actuator, new grabber, and place for a minifig.

Wow. Nice work here. I will have to try building this version.

[jono rocky]

Hope you get well soon. I love these mods you have done.

[efferman]

thanks

Because the previous construction was a bit limited in possible colours, so i have made some changes.

I love how you always come up with those "crazy" ideas... Very cool!

[Dazenie]

I love that red and white colour scheme. Looks very nice.
