    Super! I love it,

    Hey Rolands, when are we going to see some new work from you?
  3. Bricksonwheels
    Awesome progress. If you can keep it all on this detail level it might be your best built yet.
  4. Bricksonwheels
    Very curious!
  5. Bricksonwheels
    This going to be great!

    Lowrider = +10 :-)

    Throw in more detail, scale modeling is all about that. Like the old racers though!
  8. Bricksonwheels
    Going strong!

    He is telling the truth. A very nice model of course, but then again I have seen it already many times as a wip.

    Indeed there are more chroming, but I was the first to implement chromed bricks in mocs already many years ago, therefor its a thing of interrest to me, and in that sense it feels like more then one idea was taken from me. I know that later on others adapted the idea (chromebricks, etc.), and thats ok, but to see this copied into this set surprised me. Lepin states it is plated as well but I doubt it too. Plated bricks like the ones I have produced are truly chromed with a metal layer, and therefor electrically conductive. This will never be safe with small kids in mass production. Just for the record; as far as I know none of the Bricklink shops except Bricks4all, is supplying truly chromed (plated) bricks. Chromebricks, Bubul, and Chromeblock City are spray systems. They look quite good but are not true chrome. Many parts from Lego can actually not be chromed by plating as they are not pure ABS, like many Technic parts. My thought is that the parts from Lepin 21023 will be sprayed by system as well. Yes, true. I got an offer twice from Xingbao. They are willing to give you money for a design, and use your name. Many say that Lepin and Xingbao are the same, but although in the end maybe having the same investors they work very differently.

    I got ripped as well. The thing is I never posted any instructions or whatever. They copied it from pictures. It lacks detail, but then again it will be sold for USD 38, apparently including electroplated parts! The use of these parts is also something I introduced in the community, so its a double rip.

    Technic and Model team is more vehicle, train, plane, ship related. But yours is a scale model as well. It looks wonderful!

    Good work, and nice you fitted Robs lights as well.

    Thnx Lasse, And yes, the space inside the bonnet is now already taken, so this was exactly the reason to keep it like this.
  15. Bricksonwheels
    Thnx all!
  16. Bricksonwheels
    Thnx all! Actually these were not mounted due to the photoshoot. When the lights are on the trailer is connected to the tractor by electric wires that took the place of the regular hoses. It can be partly seen from the last picture above.

    Very good work!
  18. Bricksonwheels
    Looking strong!
  19. Bricksonwheels
    Original and creative!
  20. Bricksonwheels
    Very good job! Good to see a bus made to detail!
  21. Bricksonwheels
    Very cool Guzzi
  22. Bricksonwheels
    Thnx Peedeejay!
  23. Bricksonwheels
    Thnx all!

    I guess pure technic creations have their own forum. This is the place for mocs that are built to look as much as the real thing possible with Lego, with functionality as a bonus. The models are based on existing subjects and build true to scale as far as you can with Lego. I always see it as the evolution of the old Model Team into genuine authentic detailed creations.

    Well, it is great to see a forum dedicated to scale modeling, so its not more then fitting to put my latest work here: A Peterbilt 379 with Polar tanktrailer. A large (1:13) scale Lego tanker combo had been on my list for a long time. I made a small 1:22 Kenworth cabover with milktrailer in the past, and had plans for a 1:16, but in the end started work on a full 1:13 scaled combo. My 2012 dumper combo was getting old, and I wanted something new to bring to shows as well. Now I wouldn’t be myself not to take a new build a bit further again, and this one should be extremely detailed, coloful, and fitted with lights. Once more I hooked up with my good friend Rob from Brickstuff.com, and this time we didn’t make compromises. We even added a custom controller/effect board, powered by a USB Varta 10400 mAh powerpack that is located in the sleeper! There are lights everywhere including over 60 driving / contour lights, but as a special feature the underside of the chassis of both tractor and trailer are equiped with over 180 RGB LEDs to simulate the glow effect seen on showtrucks. This really gives amazing effects. A custom remote control is split into two channels that control the contour lights and the underside seperatly. Effects include color changing and strobes. It took me 5 months to build this truck and some 9000 bricks went into this, including electro-plated chromed bricks by Bricks4all.nl. My buddy Jaap Kroon (Jaap Technic) printed the stickers for me, a job well done! And a shot in the dark: A video is on my flickr stream: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bricksonwheels/
