    If you can afford the pieces for those MOCs then you can afford the instructions.

    This is an awesome model. Yes, it's obvious you were scrambling for pieces - and that's a huge part of what makes it so appealing. I love the rustic, old-school feeling it has to it. You've got bucketloads of talent, mate.

    Thanks for the outstanding review and pics as always, Blakbird. There's a certain understated poise and beauty to Lucio's builds that reminds me of the finest Ancient Roman architecture.

    Reminds me of any one of my cats chasing a mosquito.

    Thanks A very basic mod to the steering rack and hubs gives the setup Ackermann geometry; the trade-off is a limited steering angle. I do think, though, that the structure can be reworked to accommodate the former without incurring the latter.

    Those are perfect - thank you so much!

    Here are a couple of ideas I came up with for a tow truck I'm working on. The first is a dual rear axle with portal hubs, intended for double Unimog wheels: bricksafe.com/files/hateofallhatreds/dual-real-axle/dual%20axle%2001.jpg bricksafe.com/files/hateofallhatreds/dual-real-axle/dual%20axle%2002.jpg bricksafe.com/files/hateofallhatreds/dual-real-axle/dual%20axle%2003.jpg The second is a steered and driven independent-suspension setup with portal hubs: bricksafe.com/files/hateofallhatreds/front-axle-with-portal-hubs/front%20axle%2001.jpg bricksafe.com/files/hateofallhatreds/front-axle-with-portal-hubs/front%20axle%2002.jpg bricksafe.com/files/hateofallhatreds/front-axle-with-portal-hubs/front%20axle%2003.jpg bricksafe.com/files/hateofallhatreds/front-axle-with-portal-hubs/front%20axle%2004.jpg Sorry about the dreadful (dirt-cheap) mobile-phone pics.

    Dumb question: are there any steering links other than 2739 and 2739b? A 4L or 5L link would be really welcome. I know part 15459 can be sometimes used but I don't find it very practical.

    Love it! It's just a pity some people can't help taking issue with the 666. Grow up, guys - hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia never led to anything good.

    I second every word. This man has the Midas touch.

    You nailed it, mate. I was going to pass up the Porsche precisely because of its almost complete lack of playability, but Didumos69 has turned a mediocre set into gold. (Why is everything Netherlands-related so awesome?)

    I'm glad I'm not on the judging panel - I've never been too keen on ABS sandwiches.

    This is terrific! I've always loved the 42042 and I think your bulldozer would've been a far better B model.
  15. suffocation
    Oh my. Your reviews blow me away every time, Sariel. The lighting, photography, angles, competence and humour are ambrosial. As for the set, this - to me - is the real highlight of the year. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

    I don't get why some people complain about the speed (or lack thereof). I'm pretty sure the guys at TLG thought things through well enough to decide they'd struck a balance between realism and playability. In any case, even a novice could mod the gearbox with the existing parts and squeeze out around twice as much speed, should this really be an issue.

    249 CHF in good ol' Switzerland. No trace of it in Italy, of course.

    Great work there. Love how you write, by the way.

    I'm usually keener on larger builds but this one's a beauty. It's pretty common to get burnt out and shelve a project for a while - I'm sure you'll find the inspiration and motivation to see it through eventually.

    That's a building diary I'd love to see.

    I bought the instructions to this model mostly for the learning experience. I started with the drivetrain - I'm about two-thirds of the way through the section and I've already got far more than my money's worth. The sheer complexity and solidity (despite the half-stud fest) of this build are mind-boggling.
  22. suffocation
    That's a thing of beauty. Thank you so much, Paul.

    Hi Jim, I'd love to see plenty of shots of the three-way steering mechanism as well as a thorough assessment of its sturdiness. Cheers!

    An EB user recently posted a brilliant 42030-C model - a pick-up truck, I believe. I reckon you could take it a step further with the parts from the 42039, adding suspension on all four wheels and maybe a gearbox of some sort.

    Could you list your sets? Knowing what you can source from is a great start.
