42139 - All-terrain Vehicle
mpj replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The flip-flop liftarm below the rear dump (I don't know how they call it, I mean the black 11 or 15L black beam with alternate holes) is not horizontal but it is placed in an angle, as already mentioned by @Void_S -

I was limited by only Mack parts, I think you've found more realistic solutions especially on the sides, and now I'd like to upgrade my Volvo model too! -

This Volvo is perfect, I love the Mack scale trucks and this one is really well done -

942! But I hope this one will be a material handler and not a common telehandler ;-) -
42144 - Material Handler

Liebherr has a lot of handling equipment... https://www.liebherr.com/en/usa/products/material-handling-equipment/material-handling-equipment.html -
Hello, I show you my latest alternative model, it is a Scania XT with snowplow and salt spreader. In set 42128 there are too many colors in my opinion, so it was not very easy for me to build a truck that was not too colorful. It features several functions: - HOG steering - working foldable crane and stabilizers - liftable third axle - dump body - working snowplow - working salt spreader via truck differential The snowplow and salt spreader can be removed from the truck. No pneumatic parts are used, they were too big for the functions of the crane / the snowplow. Instructions can be found HERE I hope you like it!

42128 - Heavy-Duty Tow Truck
mpj replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I don't know if it has been already pointed out, the price of this set has been increased from 149 to 169 euro in Europe. It is a very good set and it had a very good price compared to other sets... but it was too good to be true. -
Mercedes Actros built with only parts from the Mack truck (the trailer can be left untouched). Instructions HERE

This is one reason why I prefer small models than big ones. Very well done!

Time for a Volvo control+ wheel loader. -
[MOC] Liebherr R 936 Compact
mpj replied to Kai_P24's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
In Italy almost all the 20-25 Tons excavators have the 3 pieces boom, all the main brands do this, not only Cat and Liebherr. These booms are especially used on these short tail swing machines. -

mpj replied to Kai_P24's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I like the overall look and I would like to see a video of the model in action. Maybe is the boom a little too thin? Have you considered using a longer linear actuator for the third section of the boom? -

mpj replied to Technicallism's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
No trucks or construction machines in this first half (ok there is a small telehandler...), and very few functions, most of them activated by levers. Not a single linear actuator used in all these sets. So there must be something for my tastes in the 2h sets -
No conspiracy theory, but it is really "strange" that no one of the leaked image is clear. You don't need a top quality camera, a 5 years old smartphone takes better photos than this. The quality of the image does not lower after every transfer, unless you take a screenshot of a screenshot, but this is not the case. Who takes these photos is surely in a hurry, that's the only reason to explain a badly angled shot.

Post n.1 should be fixed: the BMW is in the January wave, and the John Deere is in the March wave. I've seen a leak of the 42139 --> ok it is shown in the 42139 topic. -
42130 - BMW M1000RR K66

Better than nothing: -
I like this one and I think I'm going to remove the pullback motor and add steering. And reverse the wheels inside out!

If you look at it without much attention, it is actually very recognizable as a Volvo loader. Yellow with black arm and bucket, black front part of the cab, green engine and orange ladder. So I appreciate the task to add as more distinctive elements as possible, not only the Volvo sticker.
