  1. Thanks all!! We will give it a try with those instructions.
  2. Hi all. My son and I have been building with my old technic bricks. Now I was thinking: I do have a 12v motor. And some old pneumatic parts, of the first series around 1984 i guess. Is it possible to motorize the pump with the 12v motor. More specific: I fear the pump would be to 'stiff' to move with the spring. Any ideas? (I thought I had once seen in in a Technic ideabook from those years, but could not find that.)
  3. Very nice model Lasse! Impressive what you can do with this scale.
  4. 20: 10 24: 6 17: 4 25: 3 27: 2 15: 1 Very hard to judge this contest since pretty much all of them are very nice creations. Well done everybody!
  5. Very nice creation! You have the mechanics nicely worked out.
  6. I have experienced the same thing with 42009. I agree with Zblj, take it apart. I did that and rebuild it. Works fine. Dust really is an issue.
  7. Has anyone an idea how the scale of this Volvo compares to the Arocs? Same scale or is it smaller?
  8. Very well done. It sure brings back memories! Has anyone ever build a body for it? (8860)
  9. It 's a beautifull build. I like it very much. Love the functionality.
  10. Yes, with the current Technic beams I can, but with the old, studded, Technic beams I fail....
  11. I have a small question: I'm trying to build a winch like on the Unimog 8110 BUT with classic Lego Technic bricks. I borrowed a wormgear from my son, but now I can't have it meshed with an 8-teeth gear. (I'm not a technic mastermind). Is this possible at all? In Sariels book I saw an example with bevel gears, but I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong here....
  12. When my son was born, I rebuild all my Town sets. That was in 2009. I think the last set I bought was the Model Team Highway truck around 1986/87. I then started MOC-ing a bit in Model Team scale (12-studs wide). My first new set was 8110. Later followed by 42009, the Tumbler and this year the Arocs. Oh, and the VW Campervan. Great sets all. But I must say these days I'm mostly intrested in Technic. It is really the most challenging. So that is what I follow on the forum here. My son loves the City stuff. I occasionally build stuff for him from my old bricks. He is really into Lego Batman these days... (with my help :-) ) I haven't rebuild any of my Technic sets from the mid-80's however. Right now I'm now and then working on a Unimog 406 like truck, same scale as 8110, but build with my '80's classic technic bricks. And 12V motor to power some sort function.
  13. It is a very nice build! It reminds me of the Taklift 4, which was build at the shipyard where my late father used to work. Very impressive MOC!
