Sorry, i am indeed blind and braindead - i actually figured it out when looking closer at the pic ;)

Hello, i have looked over your instructions and tried to build the boom as well, what i dont understand however, how is the 3rd sections upposed to be driven ? if i fix the string on the last hole of Section 3 and then pull it through to section 3, there is no "drive" there to move it Am i stupid or blind, i dont see how it should work ;)

Haha, sorry, my son decided to disassemble it so i'm thinking of what to build next :D

@suffocation that's a marvellous build - i have a question - do your outriggers manage to lift the model off the ground ? In any case, would you consider releasing instructions for the Outrigger units alone ? Regards, Jacek :)

ye i know, i have seen a few different designs and will look which to implement, TBH best would be with the new Technic BT Hub with 4x ports but i;m not really sure these 2 big boxes can be hidden inside the model somehow (i know about SBrick tho but i was thinking PoweredUP is the Future and Powerfunctions will be discontinued soon) At the moment tho i am fighting with the supports, for RC it's not feasilbe to take out those under-foot pads and extending the supports by 2 studs (changing those 5 hole beams to 7-hole) doesnt really bring much (same problem as with 42108 but at least here in the 42082 the chassis is wide enough that it could house the 2-piece suppors as used on the Mack but i dont know how to motorise them fully)

Hello, my 42082 is out for delivery with Amazon, so i should get it until end of the day. I have already looked into modding it properly from the beginning and would like to implement a few changes immiedately during the initial build. First on my list are those two which i find essential: - @MikeTwo9398's Gearbox mod (ordered the missing bits already, hope they arrive in the Post today as well) - @efferman's LA transmission mod which i understand can be done using parts of the set (i have a some extra parts too, from what i saw i shouldnt be missing anything) - Hook design from 42108 as i dont have the Metal Hook but have some extras which i can use Anything else which might be seen as essential during the build and preferrably can be done with minimal extra parts ? Long-Term goal is full RC but that will come later on.

Same as above, with 42113 removed ;)

Oki Doki, i have to say, i built the original set, @M_longer's Upgraded Carrier, the Harbor Crane from @Nequmodiva and this one (even experimented a bit with my own changes) So far i have to say all of those are a nice build for a Parent but this one is the highest Playabilty from my 4-year-old's point of view. Maybe i'm a bit biased because we have 2 Pull-Back Lego cars as well and they are just perfect to be salvaged by this Tow Truck :P He's spent a whole day yesterday crashing those 2 Pull-Back (with the help of our Cat) and then using the Tow Truck to salvage and repair them :D Great MOC, thumbs up :P

Scan those in and print on home printer 2-sided, that;s what i did ;) just take some better paper

Yay, my second set is under way and I will be building the shipyard with my kid

This Mod rocks, sadly it's very hard to even get a second set (i do have one and hope when the 3-in-1 comes out, the Inn will be somehow combinable with the leftover island)

@Dorino i just finished the build and converted to full ship, also now i am looking at the Island and feeling it a bit lacking - your idea is something that i really thought of (but i do have some lego city sets too from which i might be able to make an 17th/18th century style "Carribean Mansion") Any chance you decide to publish instructions for your build ?

sure but at the moment i am tempted by the new Pirate set, if wife permits :D

i hate you @M_longer i only finished your version of the carrier rebuild (granted, i'ts better than my idea but i think mine was a bit more stable on the front/back wobble) And now you post another creation which i HAVE to build (propably will need to get another one of the set :P)

@M_longer just a question, it seems that rebrickable lists the additional parts wrong - it requires 432 extra parts or total 432 parts ? Rebrickable only lists extra 150 parts

yess, thnak you very much :)

yes, 2 studs on each side, i know but my 4-year old needs at least the back outriggers because he plays with it constantly :D i can always rebuild it with your version later on ;)

I am lazy and ordered the outriggers from 42043 and i hope i will be able to use them (at least the back should work), the retracting mechanism i found something like this but it's not my priority: http://www.ichibantoys.com/blog/lego-technic-building-tip-motorized-extendable-outriggers/?utm_source=Pinterest&utm_medium=Social If it doesnt work then i wait for your design ;)

Great, i cant wait, i mostly wonder how you worked the steering around the outriggers in the front - i got the back mostly figured out and parts are on their way but i am baffled how to handle the front part (meaning, the steering gears are in the way)

Sorry @M_longer i think we kinda hijacked your thread here :) i wanted to ask - how long is the list of additional parts for your modification (if you have calculated it already) ?

Seems that the Superstructure can easily fit 4x PF Medium Motors (Boom Extension, XL Actuator, Winch, Superstrucure Rotation) and a Buwizz Battery Hub (although the Black Counterweight part would need to be Extended by 3 Studs to fit the Hub) and the Manual controls have to be removed for it to work

right, that's what i thought - the new differentials are in the unofficial part database for LDCad actually ;) can you share the full LDCAD file of the original model or is it a no-go ? Edit: is there any specific reason you are using the small turntable to connect the drivetrain frames ?

sorry for the follow-up but i have a question regarding the differentials: I've loaded the model in LDCad and notice that in place of the 2-part differential there is a red 28 cog wheel 46372 and 2 pieces 98585. Is this an error on my part or a placeholder ? (i am experienced with CAD Programs in genral but still learning LDCad) Would this also work with the 62821b differential actually ? (i assume then the 12-cog wheel 32270 would need to be changed to 32269 20 cog but that would change the gear relation then)

Got it, thanks for the quick reply, no rush on the files tho but it will be apprecieted (i want to build the original for manual play first anyway)

Cheers, this is exactly what i was looking for, with this rebuild i think a full motorisation might be possible :) The steering i'd love to see and of course how do you plan to connect the suspension? i notice that the drivetrain is bolted to the upper chassis in the back and front - wouldnt it be better to use some kind of free floating thing so the drivetrain is only connected vie suspension? Any idea how to get the list of addon parts required ? I just got this set for my kid, he is too small to build it by himself but i believe he will be able to play (and even better if i can manage to make some kind of RC, at least partial) Cheers and great design
