    Why oh why did I miss this until now? What a gorgeous model - I love every single thing about it, from the sheer boatload of functions down to the tiniest aesthetic detail. This would be a phenomenal official set with massive educational value. Bloody well done, Jundis

    Available parts for Italy are actually fewer than last week. And my PaB order from early August has vanished into thin air.

    Great pics, Clive Your Bill Bryson story had me in stitches. Gotta get my grubby mitts on that book.

    That's a great first MOC! Did you design your own PU code for the gear shifter? If so, could you share it?

    This, one thousand times over.

    @karmadrome She's a beauty! I took a few pics of my tow truck family today. The red one's probably gonna be torn down and rebuilt to work with BuWizz and planetary hubs, so this is likely its swan song.

    45 studs apart with one servo motor can still work using a standard rack & pinion solution, provided the model isn't too heavy. Otherwise, as Johnny1360 said, you're probably better off connecting the servo motor to a linkage built with liftarms and/or towball arms. You can see something like this, albeit without the servo, in 42068.

    This is a masterpiece for the ages.

    Inspired by Samolot's and Gerger's contributions, I tried to design a dual rear axle with drive, hard-coupled diff locks, independent suspension and planetary hubs, all squeezed into a 15-stud axle track. It's intended for 81x35 tractor tyres.

    Found a seller in Switzerland. Looks like they only ship nationally and to Liechtenstein, which works great since I'm a 20-minute drive from Mendrisio. https://bricknbricks.com/en/Cada-Micro-Motor/JV5043-MicroMotor

    Is there a reliable e-shop shipping these to Europe at a lower price? I need quite a few and 14.99 each seems a bit steep. https://decadastore.com/collections/electric/products/micro-motor-jv5043

    The crane and the Unimog are top-notch stuff

    Great work, Clive! I think a lot of the vitriol directed at 42070 comes from the model falling short of what it could have been - and for marking the beginning of Lego's overpricing policy. I've shamelessly pinched quite a few ideas from the model

    This is coming along beautifully! I love the gearbox for the pneumatic switches - it's a challenge I still haven't had the nerve to take up.

    Thanks for the kind words, lads

    A heavy-duty dual planetary axle for Claas tyres. Shocks can be easily swapped out for softer or harder ones as needed.

    Finished this last week. Full topic here:

    Added a quick video.

    Thanks Jundis & Jayden! I forgot to take more WIP pics - drat & bother. Anyway, full topic coming soon.

    Clive, the way you turn every misadventure into a funny, compelling story is just priceless I hope you take up writing eventually.

    I'd love to see that! Did you post it here on Eurobricks? I was going to use PU on this thing but the whole programming part put me off. A li'l progress (not happy about all those U-joints but hey, they get the job done).

    Godly. Just godly.

    This is a fully remote-controlled tow truck. I used the RC distribution gearbox from my cherry picker so I could get eight RC functions out of three motors. The functions work in more-or-less logical pairs: drive & steering, crane lift & extension, crane winch & rear outriggers, tow fork lowering & unfolding. The model isn't based on any real vehicle - it's more of a random take on 42008. The cab is a lazy jumble of 42098, 42112 and some weird insect. Video (I forgot to raise the outriggers before driving off - senility sucks) & pics here: ------------ Some WIP pics:

    That's such a beauty! I'd love to see more pics, too, especially of the internals. Thanks Ha ha, yeah, my trucks do tend to all look alike, although the lime one is actually quite larger and heavier on toddler-enrapturing features.

    Thank you! It's got manual drive & steering, an inline-4 (in the cabin ), opening doors and eight two-way motorised functions driven through two gearboxes (one with six functions in the carrier and one with two functions in the crane) by 1 M motor. You can see some WIP pics from a previous version (the mechanics have always stayed more or less the same) here.
