Huge 5571 Collection!
mnpumar replied to mnpumar's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Any idea how to value it based on what you see? I would like to sell it as-is since there are a couple bags of un-opened parts -
I'm a huge fan of the 5571 set, and I've been collecting for a few years. I was wondering if you guys could help me put a value on what's here? Thanks
-
This is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can't believe how huge and detailed it is! I would love to see more details on how you built this.
-
Wow! Very cool!! I thought I was the first person to ever build this trailer because the person I got the instructions from said he never built it. I had to make a lot of modifications to get the back end of the trailer to fit together properly, especially on and around the doors. Also the original design could not support the weight at the wheels and they kept popping off on me before I fixed it! I'm curious if you ever updated the instructions to include those fixes? I'm also curious how you fixed them. The pneumatics seem okay but I guess there is always room for improvement :)
-
Well I am willing to give it a try if someone can create the instructions for me to follow :)
-
Making this RC would be cool but I don't think it could be done without ruining the high amount of details inside the cab

Parts list: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/mnpumar/5571-trailer

The original design of the 5571 has the trailer hitch at an angle, and it's too close to the back of the truck. It was designed purely for ascetic purposes and never intended to be functional. Therefore, it has to be taken off and rebuilt for the trailer to be attachable. One more update: I submitted the build MOC to rebrickable, once it's up I'll share a link to the parts list

Pictures are finally here! Sorry for the wait. I had to do some extensive modifications to the rear wheels on the trailer because the original design couldn't support the massive weight of this thing and they kept popping off! Here are some pictures I got of the whole thing. It was actually pretty difficult to get good photos because this thing is MASSIVE! Please share your feedback. I would love to see others attempt this build. I can answer any questions you might have. Thanks for looking!

I am done building but I haven't had a chance to take photos yet. I will try to upload some tonight or tomorrow
-
Thank you :) Can you post a link?

I received the other 5571 I won at auction. It is a lot better than I expected and it even has the original unused sticker set! Quite a deal since I paid less than $150 for it. Now that I have the tires for the trailer I will post another update soon. Please do comment if you are interested in this build or have questions about the instructions. Thanks :)

Can you change the title of my thread to note that it includes the instructions: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=116829 From "[MOC][WIP] Model Team 5571 With Trailer" to "[MOC][WIP] Model Team 5571 With Trailer + Instructions" Edit: Thank you to whoever did this for me!

Progress was a bit slow last night because when I got to the rear doors the pieces were not fitting together correctly according to the instructions. It took me some time to figure out how to fix the issues, and fortunately I had enough spare pieces laying around in order to complete the steps. In order to attach the hinges on the rear doors to the rest of the trailer, I had to make the following change: (each yellow dot represents a 1x1x1 brick and each white dot represents a 1x1 plate) Note that both sides are the same since it's symmertrical: a In order to attach the rails to the rear doors, I had to add a 1x1 plate underneat the 1x1 clips. I also put a 1x1 round plate piece between the upper and lower rails to fill in the gap, which isn't in this picture, but you will see it in later pictures: Refrigeration unit built: Top of the trailer. The brick sticking up is the button to use the pneumatics to raise/lower the trailer stands. There is also a swtich on one side to control the up/down movement. And for those who have been asking, here are the instructions: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3juzujlb27fqpgw/remorque_5571.rar?dl=0

I figured out how to improve my image quality when uploading, here are some more pictures for you guys to enjoy

I did find a partially complete 5571 set at auction that i won for around $100 which has all the tires so I'm good there. The original instructions for the trailer seem to actually replace all 10 tires with the smaller cheaper ones but I'm going to try both and see how they look. I'll post pictures for comparison with the smaller and larger tires. Hi! Very happy to see you on my thread since you are the master of Lego semi trucks :) I'm a big fan of your MOC's, the attention to detail is quite amazing.
