    For those who built my Volvo truck, and don't know what to do with the remaining parts, I give you an idea: you can build this simple forklift, it will match the Volvo truck quite well. Free instructions on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/users/technicprojects/mocs/

    @cyberdyne systems I did not see this masterpiece in December! Very clever, well done!

    Very nice and solid wheel loader! I would cover the engine with some (opening) panels too

    Ops I did not notice the section! I delete my post

    I always appreciate your mocs, my compliments for this new Unimog. I like this scale!

    Rims should be black with inner yellow sprockets, so the look could be improved (in real model the rims are much smaller compared to the tyre size)

    Maybe it is for the articulation And about the suspensions: the Bruder "toy model for kids" has quite well replicated suspensions, so I'm expecting a Technic model must also have!

    This is a MONSTER! I like every single piece of this Moc, the color scheme is awesome. Many many compliments

    It's beautiful! Very clever gif also

    Well, it is also possible that he saw a Lego Technic Fast & Furious car preliminary image, but it is not the follower of the UCS super cars. Could it be the "entertainer" ?

    Oh I didn't know this feature in Rebrickable, thank you! It shows also the 4 spare parts (included in 42078) needed to complete the model. With the remaining parts we can build more attachments and loads

    The owner of my local Lego Shop told me he saw a confidential photo of the new Lego Technic Super Car and it is Fast&Furious related. No more infos I could obtain
  16. mpj
    Yes, 1000 parts left you can use for future Mocs Most of them are pins and regular Lego System bricks

    Thank you for your kind words! I think the 42078 is really a good set for C-models

    Everything is possible, but if I were Volvo, I would not invest on a model that is no more in my product range

    Does Volvo still produce backhoe loaders in real world? I think they have been discontinued (surely in Italy they are).

    Yes, another C-model of the 42078 set In the last 3 months I enjoyed my spare time in building a C-model of the 42078 Mack Anthem. My truck is an 8x4 flatbed version, with foldable crane behind the cab. I worked a lot on the cab shape, as already mentioned in @grego18f topic, who was building a Volvo FH too! It has opening doors but no tilting cab and no fake engine (I preferred a better looking cab than changing the shape to let the cab tilt). The crane is functional (all functions are manual), knobs are on both sides of the model. Main problem is the absence of the turntable. The crane is quite stable, but of course cannot load heavy loads. You can of course mod it adding a small turntable Outriggers control knob is on the back: I added 2 attachments: fake hook with chains, to move a small container, and forklift to move small pallets. Video: Model consists of around 1500 parts (so you have around 1000 leftover parts - mostly small parts and Lego System bricks). Instructions can be found on rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-34643/technicprojects/volvo-crane-truck Stickers are custom made and could be available for purchase soon. I hope you like it!

    I have always been a fan of your Tgs, thank you for sharing this! (I only found this post this morning)

    So how many days to the Toy Fair? Will be revealed also the 2h news there? Last year I remember we saw the Libherr for the first time at the Nurnberg press conference.

    You can use regular PF remote but control it in different way, like a joystick. Watch at this video for example

    Very good looking excavator, very detailed! It also works very well. Why didn't you built simulated joysticks as remote control? I think it would be easier to control it as a real excavator. The only thing I would change are the tracks, these ones look too thin.

    Very unusual subject, full of functions! Many compliments.
