    Thanks @afol1969 for the Instructions.

    There are some mistakes but no big issues.

    Except in Step 10 the lbg Technic pin with Stop Bush collided with the black gear. I used a black pin instead.

    Currently modifying the superstructure to fit the actuator from motomatt.

     

    Hi, dunes,

    Yes, I've seen the error. Should be a simple black pin. Maybe there are more errors. It would be fine if you can update the Ldraw file with motomatt's actuator included: So I can make updated instructions and hope that I finally have all the parts to build the construction to find out the right building steps.

  2. Hi, JDL1967,

    The latest instructions I've made was the version without suspensions an the boom modified with Firgelli actuators.

    Because of the big file size I've zipped the PDF file. You'll find it here for download: https://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/Grove6400-MKIII_1.1.7z

    And here is also the LDRAW file: https://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/GMK6400-Mk3_Firgelli.mpd

    The Part list you find in the instructions.

  3. Hi all,

    It's glad to see that the grove crane still has some popularity:classic:. I'd now some time to create a quick'n dirty instruction from effermans' superstructure. Until now I could not build it to test the functions, because lack of parts. So it's possible that the instructions can have some errors.

    In the Ldraw file I have included the Lego actuator from motomatt, but could not integrate it in the instructions, it needs some modifications in the superstructure.

    So feel free to use and modify the instructions I made:

    Sheo deleted all of his accounts, bricksafe rebrickable. The only way to still get the instructions are from other people who still have them saved. 

    Hi there,

    I've made made an LPUB version from his instructions, you can still download them from my Bricksafe account.

    I don't think it would even be possible to make instructions, even if you had the parts and the time!

    I think so. Instructions would be fine. The only possibility: Disassembling the model part by part and make photo instructions by reversing the steps. Then create a LDAW file. Even that would take some month. That's I see by trying to recreate the LDRAW file from the LFX file from Gabi_BC.*huh*

    BTW: Congatulations, Orinoko! IMHO the best Introduction ever, incredible MOC which deserves a place in the HOF! You are a very talented Technic Builder.

    Excellent work! Very impressive and a monstrous version of the BWE! How long would it take for creating and modelling? How much parts?

    I've tried to convert the LXF file to an LDRAW file - and as always - with a horrible result *huh*

    So I've thought to recreate the file from scratch. Only the step order isn't perfect to rebuild the model. And as I haven't the necessary parts, I'll never be able to build it. Instruction would be interesting - if someone has enough time and patience. But I don't think so, because I believe that an instruction project will take probably 2 years...:wacko:

    Even just the creation of the CAD file maybe takes some month.....

    Haha, complete true mate, the old sets where a pleasure to build, but whit the Nowadays style instructions, even the most difficult set can be make by a 6 year old kid and no fun anymore for a normal adult.:tongue:

    That's true. That's why I like the older technic sets, it's still a real challenge to build them. At the moment I'm building the 8880 - looking forward to the finished model :)

    But in real the hardest builds were models from other Technic enthusiasts. For ex. Sheos Mining Excavator.

    I am considering buying the parts needed for this moc, but i'd like to familiarize myself better with the design and probably try alternative color schemes. Is there a .lxf file available for the RH400?

    Hi Gabi,

     

    As I know, sheo has made the instructions from a .lxf file. I've an LDRAW .mpd file, see here http://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/TerexTH400.mpd

    Hi,

     

    Long time announced, finally have finished the instructions from the amazing rocket launcher, created by CP5670.

    Personally, it's one of my favorite MOC's.

    Generally I took the updated LDRAW file from blakbird as base file, and made minor changes only by using some newer technic parts. IMHO its the best combination of new and old technic parts, and this model shows what is possible if you combine both worlds.

    You can download the LDRAW File and the Instructions PDF file here:

    Enjoy the building! :thumbup:

  10. Hi dognosh,

    I've read the thread with the modded technic actuator (which is an excellent solution :thumbup:), but didn't have the time to build the model with this actuator. In future time I plan to implant the actuator instructions in my own instructions, and even to test it with efferman's boom.

    I think too you should follow the suggestion from motomatt.

    An improved version of the actuator instructions you'll find here: http://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/actuator.pdf

  11. Indeed the cabling is very complicated, myself I spent some hours to do it.

    But I've seen now that I've not marked the download links in this thread, but in the other topic "afol1969's building instructions thread" http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92669&st=25

    http://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/TerexRH400.zip

    http://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/TerexRH400.z01

    For the cabling instructions I used the screenshots from sheo.

    Further you can look at the pages from blakbird http://www.bricksafe.com/pages/blakbird/Renders/MOCs/Terex/Final

    and Therion http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=553153

    Good luck!

    If any questions, just ask.

  12. About instructions: At this time I have no instructions and no parts-list. Many people asking me about the instructions. I'm thinking about it but it would be really colossal work for me. We have a big economic problems and I'm working hard on my job and really have no time for instructions making now. Maybe I'll do it in the future but I'm not sure.

    Indeed it will be a very heavy work to make professional instructions. It begins already with the large dimensions >1m which needs a very big page resolution to fit. Even I'm very common in creating instructions, I think I'll need one year to create them, and, honestly, I don't know if I'll have enough patience to do it.

    But whatever, it's a masterpiece of MOC for the HOF :thumbup:

  13. I'm so happy that you've done the instructions :laugh:

    Already bought them, and 12€ is really a good price for the huge work and time you invested. So there's a new challenge to build this. I really like very complex and very big MOC's. Most time I spend to make instructions, but sometimes I like to relax and simply build a MOC from others instructions. And this one definitively deserves to be build :classic:

    So first lets spend money to buy the missing parts.... :blush:

  14. I look very much forward to what folks here can do with that set. It really is epic in many ways. I love the idea of it and one day I might make something myself. The buckets and turntable rings are a must for me for sure (and expect yellow womit as usual, sigh)

    So, the version with 28 XL motors, 18 RC IR units and a coffee maker in the cabin, is what I'm waiting for Jurgen to make!

    (Note to self : must buy more XL motors for my BL store)

    An ultimate Version like this?

    :wink:

  15. But I have some problems opening the .zip and .z01 files using 7Zip.

    They are not recognized as compressed files.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Try with WinRar or Winzip. That must work. I don't know why they don't open with 7Zip. I've packed them with 7Zip, but in Zip format, because I'd to divide the files in 2 parts. Bricksafe only allows files max. 100MB.

    Edit: Not open the .zip file, but the .z01 file. Then it works.
