[WIP] 42043 Car Transporter (C model)

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

My next 42043 C Model!

This is gonna be a big one! I will have 3 power functions and 4 pneumatic functions. Power functions will be for the truck, pneumatics for the trailer. Here's what I have so far:

 In case you're wondering, that's the immediate front of the truck. It is built for the 42043 cab, which I will be using. Seen above is the frontmost car lift.

Here's the master gearbox.

Some mechanics for the frontmost lift.

That's a video of the mechanism for the front lift. Like the other lifts will, this uses variable axes to control the movements.

P.S: This is based on the Eddie Stobart (video of it below):

More pictures should be coming soon. Hope you enjoyed, and leave some comments so I can implement them in this MOC.

Thanks for your time!

This looks awesome.
I'm excited to see the finished model.

Do you think the thin pneumatic cylinder will have enough power at this position? The Lever seems to be quite small.

There isn't much weight, so it should be fine. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks!
