Rishab N Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Just thought I'd share this beautiful cement mixer I found on Brickshelf. Seems to be a mostly studless construction More pics are on Brickshelf http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=538532 Edited January 12, 2014 by Rishab N Quote
paul_delahaye Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 That is the best cement truck I've seen, love the panel constructed drum, very nicely done Quote
jantjeuh Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 What kind of panel is used for the middle section of the drum? Quote
KirTech LAB Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Very high quality work!!! Especially i like smooth lines of all parts of the machine and of course high detalization! What kind of panel is used for the middle section of the drum? This section is assembled from "1x4 slope curved" parts! Quote
Paul B Technic Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 That is very well built, looks amazing. Quote
allanp Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 The drum and the live axle suspension is great Quote
Milan Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Wow, amazing studless mixer! Impressive how the builder manage to create beautiful curves with studless. I still like Bosman's mixer the best, totally different, but with plates and bricks. Quote
-SD- Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Very impressive. It was only the other day my son and I were chatting about how cool a PF Cement Mixer would be..... and now this awesome MOC appears. I'd like to see this as an official set.... although I'd rather have an orange/white or blue/white colour scheme. Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Lovely paneling! With a few tweaks I could imagine an Official TLG set like that...and with some internal worm screw made out of ribbed or flex tubing :D Quote
jantjeuh Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 This section is assembled from "1x4 slope curved" parts! Ah yes, I see it now. Very impressive work. Quote
bmollema Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Impressive design, love the panel use in the mixer. Quote
pzh2000 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 This mixer is created by a Chinese player and he posts here http://www.lelezhen.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=30988&extra=page%3D1 ( Chinese forum) and he also shares the Ldd file. Quote
timslegos Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Wow, I have never seen such a filled out studless model! Thanks for the share. tim Quote
Lakop Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 That's a really nice build. The barrell is very clever, we must leave no stone unturned. H Quote
legolijntje Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 That's a great cement mixer. Anyone noticed it even got suspension? Quote
Junpei Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Looks great! Although I wonder why there is only suspension on the rearmost axle, and why the shocks are only mounted with one degree of freedom. The barrel is great! TLH Quote
legolijntje Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Looks great! Although I wonder why there is only suspension on the rearmost axle, and why the shocks are only mounted with one degree of freedom. [...] All axles have suspension, as far as I can see. Quote
Kumbbl Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 all axles have suspension - you can see it here: and BTW: one of the best designed studdless trucks i have ever seen ... :thumbup: the barrel is simply awesome Quote
NXT45 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Wow amazing! His other Mocs & Mods look cool to! His bus MOC (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=535131) Happy building! NXT45 Edited January 12, 2014 by NXT45 Quote
ms09 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Great appearance and good function. The Chinese MOCer should put this on Cuusoo and I think many people would support it. Quote
Junpei Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 All axles have suspension, as far as I can see. Are you sure? I can't be sure of my statement either, but see here: Both front and middle axles have fixed attachments to the frame via double bent liftarms. U-joints are only used to transfer power to the axle; the axle itself cannot move independently in relation to the frame. TLH Quote
Azzepa Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Are you sure? I can't be sure of my statement either, but see here: Both front and middle axles have fixed attachments to the frame via double bent liftarms. U-joints are only used to transfer power to the axle; the axle itself cannot move independently in relation to the frame. TLH If you look closely at the double bent liftarms you can see just above the bottom one a grey pin; suggesting it is frictionless, so could act as a pivot point. Also to the left of each wheel in that picture is a yellow shock, and on the previous picture you can see them just to the right of the wheels on the axles Quote
