You are an extremely swift builder...or I am extremely slow...who can tell? Nice cabin sir! -
Impressive build

[WIP] Megacar

Even though I agree with Zblj's remarks I really love this axle. Looks impressive and great use of the new cylinder!!! -
Nice build and indeed great use of parts...

[MOC] DELTA Rover

Nice out of the box build... -
Always nice to see people changing colors of MOCs of which instructions are available! Obviously you would not change specific Technic parts to Yellow like 32062 and the new slide 8T gear if it is included...
-
Impressive build, you really captured the real thing very well!!! :thumbup: LEGO models always lack speed though , but that is not yours to blame...
-
The blame was mine, not yours... Of those new 5L arms one never has enough... I use them so much, great parts!!! Still waiting for the 5L links though... :laugh: How about a render of this Arocs?
-
Nice build, thanks for sharing so much info!!!
-
This is going to be very nice, scale well chosen! Would like to build one someday myself, but in scale 1:17,5. So I am going to need much more parts... :laugh:
-
Very nice, this is going to be one amazing crane truck. Yes there are indeed enough mini LA's, why not... Nice to see that for example the steered rear axle pops up again. Reusing ideas is just a great thing, that is how we evolve... Great!!!
-
Thanks again for your support and kind words! Well here in the Netherlands with certain permits and within specific parameters there are double trailer options. The great part about European trucks and trailers is that it always comes with new techniques. So do we have trailers that can set back there rear axles to make the fifth wheel appear. The trailer starts as a single trailer, but with the rear end extended a second trailer can be coupled. This would be nice to build someday, but there are so many thing to do/build... Information and photos of what? That Super B trailer? Currency at MOCplans.com is indeed in $ and that would be US$.
-
Very well done buddy, you really getting the feel of this sort of truck/vehicle!!! Great, great, great, keep it up!!! And keep us updated...
-
Extremely well build model, amazing!!! Keep it up... Very impressive techniques used...
-
My thought exactly, no more no less, just amazing!!! :thumbup:
-
Thanks! Video will be available for sure, what is uncertain is when...

Okay, now I see, sorry for misunderstanding... Yep, I gave that a thought as well. I prefer to have all my models the same approach. This Scania has flat topped fenders so what you suggest would absolutely make sense. My other projects, for example the Mack Granite, are not suited for SMIR you refer to. So I stick to my weapon of choice: half stud offsets... Nevertheless I agree with you that it would have been nice, even though I doubt this will work for a openable hood... You might want to give it try someday to build it like that... That is kind of a strange way to save money... :laugh: Nevertheless I do understand your approach. Building it in instructions colors and rebuild it in your preferred colors... As I mentioned the chassis' of my trailers are constructed with two layers of Technic Brick with two layers of plates in between. One more layer of plates on both top and bottom to secure. That will work for sure, but off course you might prefer beams and probably work as well! Yep, I know all about it... The chassis is indeed lowered partially to fit the fifth wheel. I build a Super B once, you might have seen as well. What I basically did was merging both the chassis of the trailer with the chassis of the truck. That is at least a point to start from... Your roof constructions sounds promising, looking forward to the LDD stuff!
-
Yes I guess, we can't know it all by ourselves... You didn't think of it and for it was the first thing that popped up... What is a good thing by the way, that is why there are so many people on the globe About the Scania, you are building it directly in the TNL colors? Or do you start with it as it is in the instructions? Building the reefer made me discover a couple of things. Because of the side walls there was almost no need for a chassis. The roof is kept as light weighted as possible. The box itself makes the trailer extremely sturdy. For you things are going to be different! You will need a chassis, like for example my trailers Tr3 and Tr10. Also do you have to look for ways to make the roof strong enough. The roof on my reefer is basically a single plate layer with some additions, that is all. You may want to give it some sort of ribs to make it sturdy...!

Okay, always nice to discover fellow truck builders Yep, details are so important, it really makes or breaks a model as far as I am concerned! Also the inside details, as you already wrote in your first comment...it all is there and it all should be there!!! Probably I have some great news...I have captured both! The thing is that the hood is already SNIR... You did not notice it obviously, but it really is So I have captured the both the slight slope of the hood and used SNIR for its sites... That curved slope was used on exactly that spot you marked. Finally removed it after trying many solutions. The one that is on this final model is the best, sorry... Looking forward to see pics of this "going to be" beauty! Absolutely agree with you that the "volume" will make it impressive! Nice to see that a wish comes true, finally you can start with the build of a curtain sider... You will face some challenges as you describe and what about the roof? It will have no support, do you think that will hold? That is possible the only option to use a non LEGO axle. Both the 32L axle and the entire length out of connectors is not sturdy enough I'm afraid. Having an aluminum tube might be used, still light in weight, but amazingly strong! You don't even have to attach it to the top, just to both ends of the trailer, that's it.

Thank you very much for the thorough comment/feedback and for those kind words! I assume you build it interpreting what you wrote... The building process is indeed as important as the finished model. Especially with LEGO that is so true, after all it is a building system and I use that for truck modeling... So I am glad that you notice the effort I have put in! About the studs you miss, I don't... It is not that I hate studs absolutely not, but having things tiled suites me better. BTW, there are some studs visible... Not as many as the White and Blue truck with Red chassis, you are right about that... For that I do not agree with you. It does add more realism, after all the real life truck's hood isn't flat either. Is is not much that is slopes, but it does and that is captured. You lost me on the SNIR part though... As far as I know I did use this technique on the sides, please enlighten me! Those Dark Red 4x1 curved slopes should be on top of the side spoilers? Is that what you mean? For now I am not sure what you mean exactly.

:laugh: Are you that close to State Highway 1 All great news, your parts availability and the colors you choose. Just great and I am looking forward to see it completed. Will you post pics of it? Probably you will That trailer is going to be lovely as well. The one in the picture has soft sides with straps, what are your plans on this? Any ideas yet? Does this TNL have other trailers, like flatbeds or so? Would probably be lighter in weight...!
-
This is an absolutely astonishing model, love it all the way!
-
You always start of impressively!!! That is so really you, again this will be another mind blowing model!!! Thanks for you input...
-
Well your comment is spot on so to speak and I absolutely did not took it as an offense...! What you describe is exactly why I build the yellow version for! Building a model after a specific brand and type it needs to be equal in shape. So yes, no extras or what so ever. You prefer to stick with it, which is a good thing! For me it was important to give it an extra touch though. Being asked to join this book I stated above challenged me to go a little further... Thanks again and there will be more straight forward editions of this truck in the future for sure! Also will it have different applications! Thanks again!

That crane is extremely well engineered!!! :thumbup: You always come up with these amazingly great ideas...keep it up!
