Me too but our concept of close MOC is not the same at all... unfortunately for me  .

Thank you, I think the same, I want to finish it whatever before of after the final date, the important thing is I build again.

Nice to have you active again. Great work thus far!

Quite excited to see the end result, no matter if you finish it in time or not. This is shaping up to be a great model!

Thank you for the kind words.

I totally redid it again but I was lucky everything was better than I expected, that is why my MOCs take a too much time... I did not like enough the suspension in the middle, it was realistic and very stable but it had a little weakness due the small turntable and I also had lost space for the bed... so we have again a bigger bed, pivot suspension in the front axle a new and more playable steering with better general looks IMO, the MOC is now more simple but I think is better.

Looks better now

Could you use the 5x11 tapered panel for the side of the bed? Looks imho better than the stacked liftarms :-)

I tried to do it but I did not find an enough strong way for my taste to put them, I also tried with the 3x5x3 curved panel with same result... it is important for me to have that angled bed because the real ones are that way for gain more maneuverability inside tunels.

Did you try with this?

It solved lots of my problems 

I keep my fingers crossed.

Thank you, it was difficult to use the liftarm with angles but it was important for my idea of a realistic MOC unfortunatelly I had to remove the working steering wheel because time runs fast.

It turned out great, and I'm happy you were able to finish the MOC. The management of all the hoses is perfect.
