The trailer is coming along great.

Brilliant truck, if only Lego made tires just abit larger. Do you have a video of it in action?

Great looking truck. Cant wait for the trailer.

I agree with 2LegoOrNot2Lego about the tiles in the excavators bay. As a thought with your plant would be to add a portable rotary crusher where you could have for the rocks either two bricks half pushed together so the come apart easily or 2 1x2 tiles connected at right angles and as they go through the rotary drum they come apart and appear smaller. Sorry I'm rambling. I loved working at the Borals open cut sand stone quarry many years ago and this brought back some memories so thank you. Its very well laid out and cant wait to see more.

Love the idea of the use of those curve panels as well, after seeing you use them like that, it was like so obvious, cant wait to see more.

Hope you get well soon. I will ask a late vote of lego set 8880 a favorite of mine. Ive enjoyed watching this thread and hope to see more. Cheers Jono

I don't know if it has been answered but does anyone know if this set will be a limited run or just a common set? so to speak.

I'm gobsmacked for words. Absolutely amazing.

This is an awesome truck I love the chrome and black.

Absolutely love it

This is a stunning car. The colour scheme looks just as good in the orange as the blue. This is a definate build, my eldest son is iching to build it but wants to do it from your instructions when there done.

Wow....just wow....

Its a nice change to see a full studded model and you've made an awesome moc. Great choice in planes.

An amazing show class truck. You have captured the Peterbuilt amazingly and that trailer is perfect.

Thanks Madoca. this ones going on display in the dining room. Again an amazing car. Ever considered putting it on Lego Ideas. This would make a really great official lego car.

Another awesome moc. This is one beautiful car, love the lines, looks like it'll do over 200mph.

I have done a couple of C models here. 8043 dozer 8297 tow truck 9398 quad bike 9394 helicopter

G'day all. I have over the years done a couple of alternate models and attempted to make instructions for them, some better than others. All of them can be downloaded here or from my mocpages signature link below but I'll add an individual link with each one. My first attempt was a bulldozer from set 8043 quite some time ago. Argof made a topic here about it and I just stumbled upon an old bad quality vid and this is it. Instructions: Freespace or Bricksafe I was driving Hooklift trucks for a while and the Lego set 8052 came out so I had to RC one version and a full RC overkill another. This one I over did but didn't make instructions for it. I added an extra exhaust for duals to the instructions. Instructions are done by LDD here or the lxf is attached. So being a truck freak person I pulled out an old set 5580 Highway rig and jammed in an XL and M motor to RC it but keeping it looking as close to the original as possible. Instructions: Dropbox or Bricksafe. Next one is an alternate model of the set 8297 into a tow truck. I put he M motor on top of the fake V8 to look like a supercharger but its gear driven to the winch and bypasses the V8. Instructions: Freespace or Bricksafe I got the lego set 9398 and turned it into an RC quadbike. nato8181 (Renato) made a topic here on Eurobrics about it. Instructions: Freespace or Bricksafe My next was for a competition here (a while ago) and I used the Lego set 9394 jet plane and turned it into a helicopter. Here is the thread for it. The goal was to have a pull and release trigger to spin the rotars and still have them to be able to spin freely. Instructions: Bricksafe This one I did for fun, I call it the lowrider logger. The idea was to make two versions of logging trucks from one set and no motors. The first was a truck and dog, the second was a folding B double with a loader.

I am truly blown away. This is for one word...epic.

A video was done to show the winners trucks and to inspire people to build and create. http://rebrick.it/1Mf1qLi

Congratulations to the winners, they were all amazing cranes.

This is a really great moc.

There are lots of practical uses for a pneumatic hoist for lego models like in trucks, forklifts, other trucks, earth moving machines, the other trucks not mentioned, Serials car hoist and oh trucks.

Or a pneumatic one...with 2 to 3 stages like a trucks multi stage hoist.
