    I haven't tried to mod the blade, but I've had the same problem.
  2. mattthewise
    Any idea when the next update will be ready, Blakbird?
  3. mattthewise
    Nice! Where did the rest of the pieces come from? You incorporated the BWE stickered pieces quite nicely, they look pretty natural.

    Ah, thank you everyone. Those reasons make sense, and I can't believe I didn't think of them myself.

    Does anyone know why some of the bags come packaged in the small white box inside of the main box? I haven't been able to think of any reasons.

    Two of the 2-long axles and red spacers left over go in the remote to make "joysticks". Other than that, it's a good review. The model, in my opinion, just isn't great. The only thing I would really need from it is the IR receiver. The other PF parts would be a bonus but I really don't need any more tracks.

    Sariel, the "extra" two-unit axles and two of the three red spacers go on the remote. They make little mini joysticks.

    Have you been able to work on the LDD file yet?

    I like the single bucket mod by eteokles, I've been trying to figure out how to mod a single bucket onto it when I get the time, but a bucket from the BWE rather than the type the Volvo comes with.

    I'm not sure of the proper terminology, but I'm pretty sure it's a jet nozzle that can vector, directing force downwards. Combined with a fan near the front, jets can VTOL with that. Here's an image:

    Agreed. I'd also buy the cargo truck/telehandler combo set, but I'd prefer the stand-alone telehandler. I had originally planned to get the tracked racer, but since it only has M motors, I've decided against it. I already have two battery boxes, an M motor, a remote, and plenty of tracks. I don't need anything from that set that isn't worth just buying stand-alone.

    Which piece are you taking about? The dark gray one connecting the two light gray brackets w/ pin holes? Never mind. I now see that question's already been answered.
  13. mattthewise
    Yeah, an LDD file is enough to figure it out. Well done with the model.
  14. mattthewise
    Was this primarily made out of the 42053? If so, I'd love to have instructions so I can build this myself.

    What in the world is an industrial nudging machine?
  16. mattthewise
    I have seen that, and downloaded the lxf file. However, I also wanted to build this particular model.
  17. mattthewise
    Not from the creator, he said elsewhere that he sold this set and never made instructions beforehand.

    Has anyone been able to reverse-engineer this MOC from looking at the pictures, or has anyone tried in the first place? I've tried, but as I don't have very much experience with freebuilding with Technic, all I was able to get was the superficial stuff.
  19. mattthewise
    Yeah! This is one of the few sets I have, and I love it when people create C-models for what I've got. As soon as I can get 42038 up to me, I intend to try to build this! It's very nicely done, it looks like the real thing, something I've become rather familiar with over the past two months as they've been all across my college campus. You said get to Bricksafe with the picture links, but what picture links?

    I like thick books. It gives a sense of increased value, at least for me it does. It feels like this is worth the money I paid for it, especially for the BWE. It also adds to feeling like a true achievement when you get finished. Plus the book is a bit more durable now that they're being bound instead of stapled.

    Really? Huh, I didn't know that. I've never seen cranes or excavators displayed like that before, so I didn't know that.
  22. mattthewise
    Don't exactly have many spare parts with me here, but perhaps I can use some from 8263 to make something.
  23. mattthewise
    Thank you! I guess that ruins my plan of displaying it boom up, though. Ah well.
  24. mattthewise
    I just got the 42053 and built it this past Saturday. I've noticed that if I try to keep the boom in a raised position, it will slowly lower over the course of a day or so, the pneumatic cylinder will lose pressure. Is this normal and I'm just worried for nothing, or is this not supposed to happen?
  25. mattthewise
    Really? Huh. Wonder why. Well then, that probably is a new piece!
