Well, it´s always worth waiting a little and shop around I got the 8110 the day was placed on shelves at the shop at one of the larger Lego retailers here in Madrid and payed 179 Eur, which I thought was quite expensive,but better that a few days later that was raised to 199,99 Eur. However my latest purchases, just to built up my stock of parts, on Ebay was much better than any local shop. 8070 70 Eur 8109 47 Eur 8068 17 Eur cheers

Hi, I also agree that the Helicopter is the most interesting set this year. I’m really looking forward to get one and even more doing modifications on the original set. cheers

Hi, Finally I got some time to work on the truck. This time I have done some work on the cabin, I did borrow some designs from the 8110, after all this is also a Mercedes Benz. I uploaded many pictures if anybody is interested. Cheers jaime

Realy good design, however I do not like loosing the portal axes. cheers

Hi, Not sure about mixing ware and electronics .... but you never know. While I wait for parts from BL, here some progress cheers

cHey, that’s a good nice touch to be added to the truck. I need to check if I still have some unused pneumatics... For the stickers, that’s the plan, but still need to finish the cabin, and the riggings in the back. cheers Jaime

hello, Got some red pannels from BL, so I can now continue wiht the truck. I uploaded on Brickshelf more pics. cheers jaime

Cheers Hi Tim, I did have a water pump, or at least try to model one from lego parts… Here my water pump… And this is the real one from Rosenbahuer My plan is to put the houses above the pump, like in a real truck Cheers

Hi While waiting for some red technic staff from BL, I have started working on the FIRE equipment to be carries on the truck. Here you can see some SCBA bottles and fire extinguishers. I still need to get some firehouses for the back storage cheers

Really nice MOC Jorge!! Good job Cheers

Hi, Tonite´s progress...

Hello, The latest work. 1. continue with the body work, water tank in front and punps,rigings and tools in the back 2. finish pump, however not sure of the location, it seams to0 high. Hope yo like it. Cheers jaime

Hello Guys, I have uploaded a few new pics from my project. It looks like I´ll be doing some shopping on BL again very soon. I just purchase a brand new 8070 for parts (70 Eur, not bad i thought!) but I’m already short on red pieces... and yes some plates as those ones do not match at all Anyway, the building is moving along, hope you like it... cheerrs. Jaime

Thanks everybody! Edwin, thank you for the pics, very helpfull.

Hi Does anyone has or know were I can find Unimog U4000 blueprints (frame)? I’m looking for frame, transmission, and direction dimensions for the truck. Something more detail that the specs that can be found on the Unimog web page. Thanks Jaime

And very nice for dark gray only MOC´s.... :-) seriously, it is a great value for your money (I got one of this sets after I bought my Mindstorm set) but not a solution when you are looking for pieces for some technic project were the pieces you need are beams and panels. regards Jaime Yes, exactly but more quantity and color options… Hey, Why not?

Hi. Buying technic sets is no doubt a good source of parts but IMHO I still believe that getting inexpensive bulk TECHNIC parts has been in my opinion, one of the weakest point on the Lego Business (especially for AFOLS) for years. I still do not understand why LEGO does not offer a set that only contains specific technic parts, for example a set of one color beams of all sizes. I have purchased sets in order to build a stock of parts; however I always end up with parts that I do not need or does not contain a good sample of beams, too many of one size and none of other. cheers

Hi Edwin. Yes sorry, ideas come from many sources from the forum... but yes, i have to say that your work is very impressive! Also, as ex-fireman I’m a little bit biased towards fire trucks! This project was parked for a long time and now finally had the time to work on it. Parenthood has taken a lot of my hobby time, I did amend my original post. cheers jaime

Very nice MOC Jeorge!!! What a collection of parts! Do you have stock or buy the for your projects? Regards and Feliz a@o nuevo!

Yes, more in here but mobile phone quality... cheers Jaime http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=492650

Hi Guys, This is my new project, still has a lot of work to do, but now it starts to take shape... Thanks to Nico71, Effe, Edwin and others too numerous to mention… , from wich I have taken great ideas for my project... Regas Jaime

Great MOC!!! Thanks Niko Cheers

Hi Everyone!!! Guess who came to visit? Mr MOG!!! and he likes the place and stays 4ever!!!! :laugh: I just love it, what a set!!!!!! cheers BTW: this set comes wiht the new stile gears

Check on this thread http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57543&st=60 This is one solution... I’m still working on mine as I do not have some parts for my MOG

Certainly... You can see them on Manual #2, page 47. There you can see the Red Technic, Pin Long with Friction Ridges Lengthwise and Stop Bush (lego #32054). It uses 4 of them... can´t miss it! Cheers
