    For those who are gathering parts and like myself, who couldn't wait to start building, I found some missing parts not on the LDD list. Be sure when you download this file that you pay attention to the "error list", that is provided whenever a new file is opened in LDD. This list will show almost all extra parts needed for this build, I found one part not mentioned on any list, # 14720 for ( 5 ). This is needed pretty early in the build, two are used in the frame sides, one supports 'gear train' going to boom, one on rear axle assembly, one in boom assembly. I started my build using the first lxf version and found some stuff that didn't make sense. During assembly various liftarm beams are 90* to frames sides, sometimes these can't be installed because of building progress has gone too far. So after building what I have completed, I decided to tear down what I've built as now I have a much better understanding of when various pieces should be added early in the assembly. I downloaded the updated file and things I didn't understand before, now do. I've included photos of what I built before it being dis-assembled, notice the 'Flesh Gear' located in the lower frame on both sides. Be sure you add this early in your construction. ( It is part of boom lift gear-train ) ( Yellow beams are supposed to be DBG, short on supplies )

    I couldn't wait, I had to start building this fantastic creation. Pic shows Steps 526 through 627. I realize I will have to take this apart many times to add the sub assemblies as shown in the early steps of LDD, but what the heck I like building A very large MOC Lipko, thanks again for sharing :thumbup:

    Thank-you so much Lipko for the lxf files. I've always wanted to build a proper Telehandler and this fits the bill. ( besides looking fantastic ) :wub: I recently took apart an 4500+ piece Technic MOC, now I have plenty of parts to start building this great machine! ( Although my fingers are killing me now ) I have about 85% of the parts, BL here I come for the rest! The LDD program took over 10 hrs. to get a building sequence, steps show a lot of 'floating assemblies', but there doable. This build will make me really pay attention.

    madoca1977, STUNNING looking car!! :thumbup: I've built many of your vehicles and your construction equipment, all are very enjoyable to appreciate your genius skills. But this one has raised the bar of your creations. I look forward to building this MOC of yours, btw I still operate/display your Black 2-Door SUV( I had the red one too, but needed the parts for another project ) at the local Brickworld show, from your early building career. edit: I just watched your video, please excuse me for a moment while I pick up my jaw off of my laptop!!

    Bricker Bricker 72, Great job, You have done this truck right in your own style and colors. (one of my favorites) I've built almost all of Ingmars' trucks & trailers, everyone of them is a pure joy to build, and maybe even mod! These trucks are even better when you use an sbrick, :thumbup: much better control with out worrying about the daylight factor.

    Nemo57, That crane is STUNNING! :thumbup: You have created a beautiful MOC in "Minifig scale" too. If you ever make building instructions, show me..........." Where is the line forming to get these? "

    "What he said", andyscouse.....I put (2) Town Hall kits together for a stand alone building. It's the center of my small town, "Palm City", which I will proudly display at Brickworld Indy in a couple of weeks.

    Thank-you for your reply to my questions. I've been through the set-up process with the sbricks' official software and was able to 'test' via my phone, with all working OK. (I haven't downloaded a profile yet) I guess my question was too vague, Should I remove the first download in my phone from your code above? And then re-scan the code again?(for the updated version of your app?) I'm wanting to use your app to control my LEGO creations as the sbrick official software is still having issues for Android phones. Some people have reported that they can't drive and steer at the same time. I plan to use your app during an up and coming Brickworld show nearby, using this method instead of the LEGO ir system.

    That's very good looking , I'll be in that line for building Instructions, if you will provide them?

    Howdy imurvai, I downloaded through the qr code above, should I do this again? Or is the current download(from above) OK? I'm using Samsung 6S, or should I modify something? I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack I might need help changing something? Any help appreciated as the sbrick software doesn't work as well as yours seems too, thanks
  11. ritztoys
    Those are some very nice equipment MOCs, will you offer instructions? The Earth-Mover(far right) is beautiful, proportions look right on.

    Thanks so much for posting this photo, I have experienced the same problem with my Dark Red tiles too. Could there be a problem with this color only? (I've never had this happen to any other color) Good thing I always purchase extra elements, when I order from BL.
  13. ritztoys
    Thanks for checking out that idea, as I didn't have the parts in front of me. Maybe effermans' new liftarm would work, post # 1285?
  14. ritztoys
    This post should be closed, as a EB member has purchased this kit. It is no longer available.

    Ingmar, As I promised, here is my version of this beautiful truck As you can see from the photos, some details have been changed; a) Front wheel disk exchanged for Red bushing b) Steps to the interior for operator and passenger changed as suggested by EB member Covi c) Some additional tiles and grills added d) Flexible Exhaust pipes added to chassis (they should go underneath or over the frame, to look really good) e) Mack mascot added to hood (Oops I thought it was a BULLfrog, not BULLDOG) f) White wheels as the original was Fantastic build, Christmas gift to myself.............all the parts needed to build this beauty. Happy New Year LEGO builders and you Ingmar, thanks..............off to the Scania!

    @ efferman That new turntable idea looks great. :thumbup: Maybe that 'technic' piece (that holds the three wheels) could be used in (4) positions using a common LEGO 90* connector? http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=55615#T=C

    Is that other hobby include Live Steam? One of my favorites from the past, do you need to adopt a son(senior son)for tax purposes? :laugh:

    Ok Longhorn, One more post and we can "talk at each other", the parts list is located at the end of the link/post I gave you. Yes, that's correct you really shouldn't post your email address here on 'open' forums.

    Howdy Andy, Why yes, I'd be happy to join the "Dirty Club", I'm 63 and still smashing bricks together! Some things I like about LEGO is you don't have to paint, glue, or worry about something breaking off. That's the best part, you just have to put that piece back on and continue 'playing'. Getting off the floor is a little tough, so I kind of focus on PF models, from the comfort of my Lazy-Boy chair! I also like to share my LEGO, so I display @ Brickworld every year, "It's really for the kids", really Oh yes, I forgot, I'm a senior citizen "Where's my discount / Old Timers Badge?" Stephen

    Howdy Roger/Longhorn, This is what you want.............http://www.eurobrick...topic=88549&hl=
  21. ritztoys
    @ Longhorn You'll need to post (4) more times before either of us can communicate via the PM system........... @ nerdsforprez Thanks for the idea, hopefully Roger Bush will take care of that...........wink, wink

    Fellow Builders I have a complete kit of all the parts needed to provide the "Extended Boom" of the LEGO kit #42009 crane. I was going to build this, just don't have the time. I will ship these for FREE in the 'lower 48 states' of the USA, otherwise PM me and we'll discuss other arrangements for your location. Total cost to your door............$ 145.00

    Well..........."my bad!" (as they say) Always like to promote excellent MOCs whenever I can.

    "What he said" I've tried the Peroxide and Oxyclean combination and have had excellent results. You have to be patient and allow the liquid combination to 'clean' those white parts, better results if your 'cleaning dish' is located in sunlight. 7-10 days to really clean. (stir occasionally)

    @ afol1969 I've looked over your draft, it looks really great. Looking forward to your additional notes and wiring tracks before I "dive in" and start building. :thumbup: @ Sheo Thank-you for sharing this masterpiece with all builders, as you know I've had the bucket and arm assembled for future completion. ( while acquiring the remaining parts over the last year ) Now I can continue to finish this amazing MOC and include it in my public displays for everyone to enjoy!
