Holy Moly! I see it, but I’m not sure I believe it

Flippin' heck! That's one great looking truck.

STUNNING! This must surely go straight into the HoF. As others have said, take all the time you need to sort out the problems you face and I wish you well with that. I'd like to think it's an 'enforced' break rather than a finality but whatever, you'll be sorely missed from these pages and we all here hope you'll one day be back wowing us with your incredible builds.

That thing's humungous! Are there any yellow parts left, well, anywhere?

Another excellent build. Very impressive.

I wasn't overly impressed when I first saw this set but all these mods have changed my mind. It's now firmly on my to buy list.

Excellent MOC as always. Like Ludo I saw one of these operating and wondered what it was. Thanks effe for furthering my education .

25 :10 8 :6 24 :4 10 :3 9 :2 3 :1 Excellent competition with some very interesting entries. The very best of luck to you all.

Just bought one of these for £95, unwanted Christmas raffle win so bnisb. Very pleased but I don’t know when it’ll get built.

JuneISH Thank you. It’s good to be back with my EB friends. Thank you Edwin. The legs are healed, I’m just dealing with the complications but hopefully all will be well in the next couple of months. Thank you Bart. Being back building is great but for a while it’ll be sporadic.

June eh? I'll set a reminder, just in case you forget

Thank you. The BWE is a pretty amazing build. It's nice that there's very little repetition, so far anyway. How on earth do you lose track of a box that size?

Thank you. Thank you. i'll get back to longer building hours in a couple of months. Whatever the hours I'll definately have fun.

I often tinker about with LDD or stud.io when I can't get out to my shed. My PAW Patrol LEGO Ideas project was built digitally while I was laid up last year. Thank you for your kind comments. It's great to be back. Thank you. As for any awesomeness, my Daughter in Law disagrees . Thank you Jeroen. I hope to be able to post fairly regular updates. For the forseeable future each post will cover a few days building as I can't be up long enough each day to make enough progress to be worth posting. As for it being getting tricky, I've been looking through the instructions and watching build videos to see what's to come. I'm not sure it was a good idea! Thank you Andy. I think you should build your BWE. It's a difficult build but it's very good fun.

After what seems like an eternity away I’m back building. It’s taken much longer than anticipated due to the complications with the broken leg needing an op. I'm still confined to bed for much of the time and when I am up it's only for a limited time so the amount of building I can get done is a lot less than I'd like. Hopefully normal service will be resumed in a few months. Until then, any building is better than none. I'd like to say a big thank you for all the emails, texts and messages. I very much appreciate your good wishes and kindness. Finally, to the member who thought I'd died. I'm sorry my 'passing' caused you so much upset. Gilly thanks you for your very heartfelt condolences but I assure you I'm still very much alive, a state of being I aim to maintain until the good Lord or Beelzibub himself assures me that their respective domains of the afterlife have no steps. Build Days 7/8/9/10/11 - Total Days build time 7hrs 15mins / Total build time 33hrs 55mins With me not having done any building for around 6 months I thought it might take a little while to get back into the swing of things but I've found myself having to 'relearn' many of my building techniques so progress has been painfully slow. Other than my goldfish like inability to remember anything, these last few days building only really threw up one problem. Attaching the bottom of the superstructure to the carrier was an real exercise in patience. It's connected by 4 x 32054 pins, 2 at the front & 2 at the rear. Once the assemblies are placed on top of eachother the rear pins were no trouble at all to push in. However, the same cannot be said of the front. They were nowhere to be seen covered as they were by the top assembly and buried in the build. Once I did locate them it took over an hour to push them in but with the aid of a long screwdriver held in my mouth (Note to self. Ensure screwdriver is free of grease etc before placing in mouth) they surrendered to my will. I’ve just realised that the above problem could’ve been avoided had I turned to the next page . I forsee much more 'fun' ahead due to the ever increasing size of this build. Already it's almost outgrown my laptray and there's a very long way to go yet. Boy it's good to be back building. Apologies for having no photo of the superstructure bottom prior to attachment of the actuator assembly. No excuses, I forgot. It's that goldfish thing again.

Exquisite Edwin, absolutely exquisite.

So very sorry to hear that your home's been flooded. I can't begin to imagine what you, your family and your community are going through. I hope all goes as well as it can with the cleanup and wish you all the very best as you reconstruct your lives. About your LEGO. It's not much I know but I have several lots of duplicate Technic instruction books and a good many more duplicate sets of stickers. You're welcome to any you may need free of charge, p&p etc. Once you're in a position to know what you need drop me a PM and I'll see what I can help you with. My thoughts are with you.

Beautiful looking truck with an amazing attention to detail and functionality. Just WOW!

Really nice work. I like the rear very much.

Thank you all for your kind comments which are very much appreciated. I'm not going away completely, I'll still be active on these pages and hope to be back building as soon as possible. I said a long time ago and still maintain that Eurobricks is the friendliest place on the 'net so again, thank you my friends.

Hello my Freinds Unfortunately due to complications with my broken leg I'm confined to bed/hospital for the forseeable future so building the 42055 has to be put on hold Obviously I'm gutted I will be back building but I don't know when, all I can say is it's likely to be at least 6-8 weeks .. I'd just like to say big thank you to those of you who've sent messages etc., enquiring of my whereabouts/well being and for your very kind words.

Looks Great! All your hard work has really psid off.

Agreed. When you look at the UCS London Bus - Route 38 by great_mazingas on LEGO Ideas you see how good it could have been. I guess the introduction of 10258 has killed off this project.

Terrific build, more so considering it's your first MOC. Very well done.

Really nice MOC, very creative. Good to see something different.
