    I think that posting links for instructions that are available as premium (lucioswitch, loxlego, didumos for example) on rebrickable is not the way to handle that topic which should be used only for talking about Cada models.

    That being said, there's some instructions that are eventually interesting without spoliating the original creators of some mocs but it's up to the moderator to give their own opinion.

    Hi and welcome to eurobricks !

    I really enjoyed reading your post about recreation of the 8865 B-model in a studless way.

    I still own that set and currently have the A-model built (in a cardbox but it's built anyway). I really like your enthusiasm and find it great that you offered your mocs for free which is the way to start on rebrickable IMHO. I don't have any technic mocs to share ATM but my creator mocs are free also and it's nice to get more feedback that way even if it's up to everyone to choose their way to go.

    Speaking about the difficulty of those old instructions, I don't remembered those beeing so hard to follow. I think I was 10 when I built 8865 (A and B) and even if the parts per step is high, I find that most sub steps looks like a 2D step (you mostly build vertically or horizontally). Also there were way less parts available making some steps quite logical (like adding two plates on top of a beam in order to getting the right spacement)

    I also remember having the 4,5V motor and battery box for that B-model.

    Thanks for doing it great justice with your modern take on it.

    I really enjoyed the review also.

    Neat concise with highlight of the build.

    I'm usually not a fan of watching a full speed build (even if I can understand that people like those) so I like your approach more.

    Also interesting to see other models in the review like Mack, rought terrain crane and so on.

    Thanks

    BTW I just found this: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/186667-rotator-tow-truck-42098-c-model/1000x800.jpg?1626448826.7029676

    Quick question; does the original model have to be an official set or can it come from an official "Ideas Book' printed by Lego?

    I was thinking about a studless version of that one from lego idea book 8889:

     

    Six Wheeler

    Maybe with working suspension and a V6. Well, maybe I will try without thinking about a contest.
