Both main A frame side walls, completed, but had a stability issue with the left hand side one, requiring some re-enforcing plates, which was after several rebuilds due to it self destructing. I’m missing a few parts for the roof, which I’m going to eventually greeble more I think. But I have to say, it looks incredible. This was the one MOC. I really wanted to own, however it’s a massive project and has taken me months! But the satisfaction is worth overcoming the odd difficult bit.

Yesterday I finally found a good solution for the wiring of the front lights! :tongue:

The next step is the installation of the ceiling and further lighting!

Looks great, can’t wait to see it finished.

Are you using the extended interior module to support the cockpit?

Thanks mate!
Yes, I do ... works great!
There is something that I noticed!
I had to remove this 4x4 plate and this 1x6 plate, so that the body sits correctly on the chassis!

Otherwise it looks like that, and I think that's not correct!?

45 chain links are enough!

Ok, I didn't notice that!
Not really to be honest, everything is running pretty well so far!
And with a modell of this size there are always small "problems"!
The only thing I was thinking about are the sidewalls of the cockpit!
I attached them for testing, and they have a small offset of a half stud too the lower side wall. It look's like on your flickr, and it's totally ok for me.....but in the video it looks like this little offset is gone!
Did you change something?

Hey hello!

Great Interiour!

I also got the instructions now :) (part of the club now ):D) 

Do you have some pics of the power functions setup? i am curious ablut the 3 battery boxes only due to the heavy weight and the 6 xl motors and 1 sm motor.... I think the 10 light-cables are neglectable. Are 3 Battery Boxes enough?

Interior almost done! Yesterday I started to add the ceiling.
I also added some light and a winch for the crane!

gallery_8754_6681_69749.jpg

At the moment I'm waiting for another order from Lego...more Led's!

Sorry for the picture quality but it's not so easy with the light conditions!
I will try to make some better pictures!

Thanks everybody!
At the moment I'm doing the last little adjustments!
I added the missing light in the front area at the winch and started with the final assembling!
The plates in the front, upper area are currently not attached, because of further small modifications!
