    Excellent! I especially like the side, the fake window behind the door, and the slightly angled roof.

    In the Man I think they can be used, because the sides of the cab are not totally flat, but there is some recess over the wheelarches. Here is my (smaller) version: Maybe the new 2020 version is more flat...

    Dear all, I show you my latest alternative model: Scania truck and steering trailer. The truck is a Scania Next Generation in 1:21 scale. It features: - HOG steering - opening doors - tilting cab - fake V8 engine - adjusting rear height It is in the same scale as my Volvo FH truck The trailer is a flatbed trailer with 2 steering axles. The steering system is directly connected to the truck fifth wheel. Instructions available on rebrickable.com and mocsmarket.com I hope you like it!

    Great B model!

    The 5x7 flat panel is a very welcome addition! Also the other new panel looks like an "extension" for panels 21 and 22. Opening my mind for upcoming mocs. And most of the models have a B model

    Stunning model! One of the best backhoe loaders in Lego Technic version. Does the manual pump help the motor pump or does it replace the motor pump?

    What is the @efferman upgrade of the centre joint?

    Dear all, my Scania model has just passed 8000 supporters on Lego Ideas, so less than 2000 votes to reach the target! Due to covid restrictions, I cannot expose it to Lego shows, so the only way to obtain more votes is internet. If you like it and if you have not yet voted it, here is the link https://ideas.lego.com/content/project/link/578cb75e-b72c-48a1-9686-ca35fd659d1b Thank you again!

    So, are there any rumours about 2021 sets? In the past years, when are the first infos revealed?
  15. mpj
    I like the Man, but also the Magnum I think it is very well done. Do you have more photos of it?

    Here you can see the list of the extra parts needed, most of them are very common parts: https://rebrickable.com/sets/compare/slow/?format=grid&1-set=MOC-50233&1-inv=72136&1-user_list=&2-set=42112-1&2-inv=67068&2-user_list=&export_set=1&1-set=MOC-50233&1-inv=72136&1-user_list=&2-set=42112-1&2-inv=67068&2-user_list= Thank you all for your kind comments

    Since I saw the first images of the 42112 Cement Mixer I felt that the cabin looked too much as a child toy, and I wanted to create something closer to cement mixers I usually see here in Italy. For this reason I decided to mod the cab, I created a cab similar to a "Renault C-range": I also preferred to modify the original color scheme (white - blue - dark blue) and all the mudguards were modified into black. I've also added some details on the back, something that was missing in the original model: A final photo of the Renault parked next to the Man TgX: Instructions are available on rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/users/technicprojects/mocs/ I hope you like it

    I know this model very well from instagram. It is a work of art
  19. mpj
    The 4 pillars of the cab (black 15L liftarms) have been replaced by 13L liftarms , and located 1 stud lower. I also removed the orange light on the roof because now the roof results too low and it did not work anymore with the button of the smart hub (and it is also out of scale). Finally I moved 1 stud lower the rotating pivot of the black bonnet. While building you will easily see how to do, otherwise I can take more photos next week.

    Some small mods to the cab and the bonnet. The cab have been lowered by 1 stud, and the black bonnet is more angled.

    The only gear I replaced is the tan 20t double bevel. I put an old one and it really spins much smoother. It is the first time I notice the difference between old and new tan 20t.
  22. mpj
    I did this: added 2x 1x3 thin liftarms and replaced frictionless pins with the black ones What is/was wrong in this page? Edit: sorry just noticed!
  23. mpj
    Oh yes you are right, does it spin fast? Otherwise it will take very long to move the actuators
  24. mpj
    All clear. Surely I will try. I cannot use the official C+ app because I'd like to change the servo motor with an L motor and small linear actuators for steering, but I'd also like to keep the gearbox setup
  25. mpj
    Do you mean that, without any mod to the original build, you can control the gearbox with a bluetooth controller? Is there a way to obtain the 4 positions of the L motor (3 gears + tipping mode) pushing 4 different buttons of the controller?
