/grohl is staring speachless while his jawbone is moving rapidly down/ THIS IS AWESOME, I LOVE EVERY DETAIL OF THIS MOC.

Thank you for your kind words. I tried my best and I was fortunately able to beat the number of the functions. My model has got 6 whereas the original 8052 has got 5. The sturdiness of this model is a bit improved compared to the original model. And as anything it also has some weak points. Connecting the air filters is definitely one of them, but there was no other way how to do it and I really wanted them on the model. The other one is the bonnet. If you look at the place where it is attached to the grille, it can rotate when you open it.

Shortly is maybe not the correct word, but yeah, they are going to follow.

Pictures of the alternative model are available in my thread

M motor should be fine, I think you can put there an 8-tooth gear except the 24, since the M-motor is much slower Thank god this is legged and not wheeled, but thank you for your praise. I never did anything in LDD, but when I have time, I will make photo instructions. HEAVY DUTY TOW TRUCK An alternative model of 8052 Container truck with working steering, towing arm, outriggers, opening doors and bonnet and tilting towing fixture. Video to come soon.

Exactly same opinion as you. Maybe it is because my name is Milan I would never expect a helicopter to be an alternative of a helicopter but this one is really good looking.

Last three days I have been working on alternative model of 8052. Good news, a heavy duty tow truck with opening bonnet, doors, working outriggers,steering, towing arm and tilting towing fixture is ready. Pictures and instructions to come soon. Here is a little teaser.

Congratulations ;) May I ask which of your entries was the winner? My vote goes for the Avatar copter.

Now these are cool and tiny walking thingies.

I cannot see a bloody thing from your video. The same thing works for your excavator photos. Sorry dude, but a lamp or a daylight is what I miss most here.

It has already been introduced in this set- 8472 By hitting the bumper the car changes the direction and steers when going reverse. After another hit to the bumper it goes straight forward. Great and very underrated set, although the block with motor is way too big and I did not find any place for it in any of my MOCs.

Great MOC, I love the rider and the whole concept of the video. The steering mechanism of the chopper is great as well.

Reducing the costs, IMHO. If you buy anything, not just LEGO, metallic, it is more expensive than ordinary colours.

Kinetic horse sculpture This not a new MOC, but some of you might not know it and it definitely deserved a better video and pictures. I have built this more than three years ago and improved only some minor things over the years, because the walking model of the horse worked flawlessly from the very beginning. The horse is inspired by Theo Jansen's kinetic sculptures. A few months after I built this there was also one Creation using kinetic horse, but I forgot the link. Anyway this probably was the FIRST one.

Great models. All the details and functionality make me want them all on myshelf.

Hahahaha.... tremendously stupid and funny model. Great idea.

Point for Zblj and big thanks to all. Yes, my MOC was inspired by Tatra 813 and Transporta P40 trailer. In the picture you can see only the 4x4 version but I was unable to find the blue one with the correct trailer.

You're welcome DLuders. My 26th alternative model of 8271 is an African elephant baby with leaning and moving head. A short video can be seen

HEAVY TRANSPORT Here I am again with a new MOC. It measures 76cm and consists of three parts. I played with an idea to make something from a few sets and to add minimum extra parts. So this is what can be in 95% built from 8048, 8049 and 8052 LEGO Technic sets. The truck has got one M motor for steering of two front axles. The first one steers one third faster. The XL motor drives the rear axle and has got enough power to pull the whole MOC with no problem. It also features all four opening doors. The crane can be rotated by one gear places on the right side while the second gear connected to the LINEAR ACTUATOR lowers and raises the crane. The winch is operated by the gear placed on the crane and is strong enough to pull the load onto the trailer. The trailer features pneumatically operated ramps to allow the loading of the vehicle and the other two block the load on the trailer to avoid its movement during the ride. The front axle can turn to minimize the steering radius. Rear two axles have pendulous suspension. The monster truck has got front steering axle, fake V4 engine, opening bonnet and full suspension. More pictures soon in my BS gallery VIDEO to come soon

And pretty old indeed...Definitely one of the best planes ever built (if not the best). When I built my Tomcat 4.5 years ago, I only had three Technic sets and the functionality is really terrible compared to this one.

Great Lambo. The shape is great, the doors are awesome. The only thing I would not do on my MOC is to cover the car by placing one liftarm next to another. But it looks kinda cool on your Countach.

The bus is really cool.

He said that it would be possible. Although he lost the pictures from dismantling his model, he says, he might be able to build it again for you.

What really surprises me is that the alternative for the helicopter should be a HELICOPTER?

I think not, but I may ask him if you want.
