    I really enjoyed the build of your loader. :thumbup: Now your working on BI for your Dump Truck, ( OMG ) count me in. I've always wanted an 'Long-nose Dump Truck' for my Construction Equipment Collection.

    Hey Lundgren, lookin' good. :thumbup: I guess it was raining there for you , or was it you couldn't stand looking at all those parts, needing to be assembled?
  3. ritztoys
    Yes, you will be a happy builder. Don't rush it, Ingmars' creations are meant to be enjoyed, every block and plate. You will probably finish your truck before mine............I'm rewarding myself with this build after I remodel some rooms in my house, (kitchen, mudroom/back kitchen, bathroom) which I just started this past weekend. I'm hoping to build this truck in different colors this fall.

    You Lucky Builder! I have one more BL order of 8 pieces and I'm there, ready to build also. This is such a beautiful looking truck, as is T2 MkII, :thumbup:

    Here's the Bricklink # for those " railings ", 75c12, that I used. I don't know how many are needed on this MOC, but I can give you a good guess of how many I used................12 of these lengths. I had to join eight of them to make up the rear railings on both sides. ( I also used 2mm plastic rod inserted into two pieces of this tubing to make complete lengths ) It will help your fingers to gently use a 'hair dryer', to soften the plastic tubing.

    Sorry a little off topic, but now you've gone and done it. I have to invest in a Lego Train to go with this beautiful Train Station, which I might have to build. Excellent work........a gorgeous model. :thumbup: Will you furnish BI for this new creation?

    Yes Sir, I've already ' signed up ' for next years show in Indy, and am seriously thinking of going to Chicago in June for their show. Right now I'm inspecting all models I used to demonstrate and get some more experience in backing up your truck to the trailer. It's harder than you would think, I can back down a boat and trailer with my personal vehicle on a boat launching ramp very well, but when I have to look at your truck, instead of being inside a vehicle, I can't do it very well. Just give me some mirrors and I'll be fine. If I do go to Chicago................I will display both of your trucks. :thumbup:

    Pat...........mines' still good, but now all us Lego builders have an improved version that appears to operate well under reduced voltage based on the load used. ( The designer used much more load than I used )

    Lundgren when I saw your photo it made me LOL , as I'm working off those same printed-off pieces of paper. I'm getting there too in acquiring all the parts.

    How about one good picture with the L580 and your great first truck & trailer " up front " :thumbup: These MOCs were favorites, if thinking about building these, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed.

    What a fantastic build, I look sooo forward to the rest of this great model and how you're going to show more of your amazing skills in making this creation. Besides the out side looking so good, the inside of this boom is quite packed, no room left over for anything! Yes, I really like the color scheme, good pick for this type of machinery, which is usually very boring or dull in real life. Please, no apologies are needed, we're all Lego builders and always ready to start another creation, especially when new parts that were needed are delivered in the post. I had a friend at the show that immediately recognized the boom and the machinery that it is attached too, his company has one in their rock quarry, Take your time on those ' instructions ' , I'm very happy to wait as I have way too much Lt Gray in my inventory, waiting for this. My only issue was I didn't have the correct software ( I think ) to easily figure out the parts list, as you can see I succeeded, however I wrote the part #, its' quantity and color out on paper ' longhand '. I didn't want to miss a single part.

    efferman, Those fender mud guards are looking better and better. The first one looks the best, but with some MOCs that have suspension, maybe the second one will be better for wheel clearance when turning and going over a bump. I'd have to try it out in a mock up of my typical suspension ( ie. turning and going over bump ). Do get well and relax, it'll help you heal faster, we'll all be waiting for your healthy return.

    afol1969, thanks for your reply. I'll keep watching your posts to see what this MOC is all about.
  16. ritztoys
    Hey efferman, Those ' mud guard ' pieces look great, additional holes as everyone has suggested. Could you design Mud Guards for single wheel width and double wide wheel width? ( 62 x 20 size tires )
  17. ritztoys
    Hey afol1969, Sorry a little off topic, but what is this " Ultimate Unimog " ? btw I've finished both of these great looking SUVs, used them to demonstrate Lego PF in last weekends Brickworld Indy.

    Check out my Bricksafe site.There are two folders, one of all the people and displays, the other is my display at the show. Here's a link....................I hope!...............http://bricksafe.com/pages/ritztoys.... ( First time I did this correctly! )

    For those builders thinking about this beacon, it will work very well with good voltage supply. I used mine in demonstrations with D3Ks' loader, when the voltage started getting low the beacon will flicker a little strange, but still putting out light. With reduced voltage going on in your BB, you'll find using two functions will completely turn off the beacon. I was sitting still using two bucket functions, ( I didn't mind ) but when I stopped that and started using the XL motor to drive, the beacon came back on flashing properly. Maybe a new style of motherboard that will operate under reduced power supply could be designed? ( wink, wink, ) Thanks again for this design, it got everyone's' attention when I operated my loader. :thumbup:

    Fellow Sci-Fi builders, Saw this at Brickworld Indy this past weekend, beautiful MOC, took two guys to move! and from the other end, simply gorgeous..............
  21. ritztoys
    Yes Sir, it is his loader. It performed very well and the public really liked the ' swing loader ' function. I'd get right next to Hans' Dump truck, then swing the bucket to drop the Lego boulders. ( I had great fun demonstrating all models )
  22. ritztoys
    Here's my version of a new load for your truck and trailer................... A favorite at the Brickworld Indy, thanks for the BI and parts list.......... :thumbup:
  23. ritztoys
    Currently gathering parts for this 2nd Truck of yours. While I was displaying your 1st truck and trailer, someone recognized your MOC at the show. This gentleman said he was also gathering parts for this truck, so now you know there will be two of these creations In Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Keep designing, your 1st truck was extremely popular at the show and the best looking of any MOC, IMHO. :thumbup:
  24. ritztoys
    Sheo as you can see I've finished your digging arm and used it in my display at Brickworld Indy this past weekend. I mounted it as a load on 2LegoOrNot2Legos' first truck and trailer. Now I need your BI and parts list to finish this great creation of yours. I will display this machine at a future Brickworld Show, thanks for sharing this. :thumbup: Future builder up close..............

    This past weekend I displayed at Brickworld Indy with your MKI version of this swing loader, it got quite a workout. The public enjoyed watching the loader get right next to Designer Hans' Dump truck, then I used the swingloader action to put the bucket right over the dump body, and dump the Lego boulders inside. The loader worked well, although the 8 tooth gear ( that controls the bucket tipping ) slid off the axle just enough to be out of alignment of the driving gears, for the bucket tip to not work. Otherwise this loader performed really well both days. A few of the other models used to demonstrate PF functions during the show, with future builder up close!
