    This just got weird. 

    I just got into bags # 22, and I have three missing pieces and two extra pieces of unusual size. 

    I got 3x of the black 5x5 studded Technic beams in this bag, not 4. 

    I only got one of the black 1x1x3 bricks. Also short by one black inverted bracket 1x2-2x2.

    For extras, I have an LBG 2x3 tile and a third DBG 2x8 brick. 

    I can see them possibly cancelling each other out weight-wise, but there isn't supposed to be any tiles of any size or color in this bag. 

    Checked the inventory, and there's not even 3 of the 2x8 LBG in the whole set. I could go into another bag for one of the 5x5 bricks and the bracket elsewhere, but there's only two of the black 1x1x3 in the whole set, so although I can get past step 1162, I'd be stuck again at step 1182. Neither seem like typical Pick-A-Brick wall items, either. 

    Please check out my FAQ at rebrickable:

    Q. I cannot find a certain part that is not listed in the inventory.
    A. As every part from the original kit is highly reused in every possibility, you have to be patience when looking for the part that seems to be missing. Because it will be found at the later steps that it will not be used in this MOD.

    Weird question, and maybe not the perfect place to ask, but...

    After the first box / bag 19, does anyone remember how many stickers were left? 

    (I don't see sticker 15 get applied in any of the 4 books.)

    You've got my attention. That's for the blurrg (step 17)


  3. This MOD upgrades your 75331 Razor Crest as below:
    - add a toilet next to the sleeping room
    - removable front landing gear
    - retractable rear landing gears (they're strong as the original)
    - add a display stand (229 parts)
    - tidy up the front panel
    - add more details to the laser cannons
    - entirely flip the boarding ramps
    - enlarge the rear entrance so that blurrg can walk through it
    - fill gaps and holes around the body and engines

    419 extra parts are needed.

    Instruction is available at https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-131686/

    Enjoy and have fun!


  4. Here is my little MOD:

    1. Need the following parts:

    2. Replace the original steps 955 to 958 as below:

    52557068048_d02cc04120_c.jpg

    3. Do the same steps for the other side (995 to 998). Now the gun cannons can be pointed straight:

    Have fun!


  5. First of all, thanks all for your comments. Whether it's good or not, I really appreciate them.

    I must admit my intention to build this MOC is not purely for TC22. It's a months project standing on my desk even before TC22 started. I faced a lot of technical issues so there's no WIP post.

    However, TC22 does give me a reason to continue this project. It pushes me to finish this MOC. As it's my first time to join Eurobricks Contest, I didn't realize the importance of the rules and limitations. I'll pay more attention for the next time.

    As said before, I'm more than happy if it's not qualified for TC22. As least I'm now ready for the next project. :blush:

  7. Hi,
    It's my first time to join the Eurobricks Contest. When I read the details of the TC22 Contest, this MOC (CAT Skid Steer Loader) was already WIP for months. My last tune is to tackle the size restriction (10000 cubic studs). Finally it's done and the main features are:
    - Total no. of pieces is around 900
    - Around 1/16 to 1/17 scale; works well with the 42114 Volvo Articulated Hauler
    - 4WD with a modified transverse subtractor by Sariel (http://sariel.pl/)
    - Requires a BuWizz 1.0/2.0 or CaDA or Mould King remote battery hub
    - PF L Motor for the main driving
    - PF M Motor for the steering
    - PF M Motor for the bucket lifting 
    - PF M Motor for the bucket tilting
    - Movable cabin
    - Bucket is swappable to a pallet fork or a larger bucket
    - Detailed cockpit and driver seat

    Hi,

    I haven’t said that moving parts were excluded. I said that moving parts can be retracted or folded to fit the bounding box. As long as they are not detached. So a bucket needs to be included in the calculation. But you can use the most optimal position when calculating the size.

    Thanks for the clarification. Then my MOC is not qualified.

    Hi, does anybody know if there is a mode to replace the two fake actuators at the back with two real ones (manual articulation) without redesigning the whole thing? I think it should be possible to fit two normal length actuators (plus gears to drive them) in the space availiable which are driven manually.
    Most of the replacements for those two actuators are also coupled with motorizing this function which needs extensive redesign of the whole dozer. A simple fast attachable manual solution would be also great.

    Thanks!
