[HELP] MB Actros 4150K
Dafgek81 replied to Dafgek81's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Doesn't anyone out there want to give me an estimate on how much my truck is worth, just would like to know, because I spent so much time on collecting and building. -
It still remains jaw dropping, gets better with every picture you post of it. Still can't believe it when you say you only have a modest amount of parts, this thing is huge and all those pneumatic parts!!!! How big is your parts collection anyway, mine is about 30 000 parts, loose and in sets combined.

[HELP] MB Actros 4150K
Dafgek81 replied to Dafgek81's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
A question about P.F. Motors to be connected to an old small 9V bb, what is the part number for the part that does just that, found out I can replace the old 9V mimi motor with a P.F. XL motor, but have to connect it to an old small 9V bb. -

And yes, I like the studded look very much. I have always been a fan of the realistic look off Model Team like looking models. They look much more realistic then the models with panels and liftarms. De downside of studded models is that you have to use a lot of tiles to get a smooth finish on them and the weight of studded models is way higher with the same dimensions. -
[HELP] MB Actros 4150K

No there is nog a lot. But it isn't driven, it only has a fake engine. The motors in there ate to drive the pneumatic pump, turn the crane and drive the outriggers. And to be clear on it, as I said earlier, it isn't my MOC, it is a rebuild from Brickforge, just build it in a different colour and made some minor changes. It is basically a copy of the original model. The trailer is partially my own design, but largely based on the design of the truck. -

The folder is public, you all can take a look!!! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=561622 And I have a question, what do you people estimate it is worth, ain't got the intention to sell it, it took me over 4 years to collect all the parts and to build it. But I want to know what it's worth to a Lego collector. -
I don't think that Facebook, Amazon or Ebay will do anything about this, for each sale they get paid, so selling means money and money means they don't care. We AFOLs won't sell knock off shit, but a lot of people with money on their mind would. Here in Holland there people who sell firewood for absurdly high prices, I have seen it going for €200,- for only 1 m3. So a lot of people in this world will try and rip everybody off.

Pink Technic
Dafgek81 replied to LucyCol's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Haven't seen any before, bricklink doesn't find any, but sure why not, pink Technic is still Technic. -
That Lepin stuff, is that all fake elements or just illegal copy off MOC's with genuine Lego elements. If I understand right, it's knockoff parts??

You mean the panels with the sloped sides. I've painted pneumatic cylinders on the crane from my Actros, I had to, TLG doesn't make white pneumatic cylinders and putting yellow ones on a white crane looks like crap if you want to display such a model, the fricking thing cost me around €900,- and ending up with pneumatic cylinders that stick out like a sore thumb isn't an option for me. But painting panels aside, why did you choose orange for this model, you could have chosen red for instance, those panels are available in red if I'm correct. I love the orange though, so it's not a problem for me.
