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.

Here is one alternative built by Tomik, a fellow member of the Czech LEGO forum.

I am completely satisfied with your MOC. Great details and colour scheme. You are IMHO one of the LEGO truck kings.

I really like the colour scheme. Although there are some things that could have been done better, it is still a great MOC.

What I like most are the axles using the large Technic frames. I still cannot understand how do your 12 tooth bevel gears hold in one piece. When I was building my trial truck, I had to change both axles since the bevels kept cracking all the time when the car came to a higher obstacle.

I do not think this is gonna work without NXT. The idea is really nice, but PF motors are not capable of turning 90 degrees and then stopping. If I understood that well, this is what you need.

Simple and nice with a plenty of functions, that's how it should be with small Technic models.

Great work with all the angles. This car really looks very nice and the building techniques are pretty unique.

Awesome job. I am going to study your gallery for a while. Looks like the torsion bars work more realistically than the soft shock absorbers I used. The self levelling gun is also a great feature of your model.

Congratulations to all who made it that far!

Great job as always. I love the design with the red and orange stripes.

You heretic, cutting your LEGOs make the GOD angry.

The flight simulator is a very nice and simple MOC. I would love that one when being a child.

To be frank, I like only S Tank 2 and Leopard. Sariel's Leo 2 seems to be the only perfect tank ever built of LEGO. I have nothing more to say and cannot wait till it is finished.

Great as usually. Your MOCs are getting better and funnier.

My vote goes to Enzo, although it does not look like Enzo at all. More durable construction, cool door mechanism. Fiorano has a cooler design though.

I really like the looks of your model and the performance in the terrain. On the other hand I would be afraid about some parts of the axles which do not look much durable... But maybe I am just wrong.

My favourite is this one made by Steven1980 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=steven1980
