    Recognized this as your model instantly. I remember first seeing the K100 and just being enamored with the detailed design, functionality and presentation. And the Mack is no different. I don't generally care for trucks that much, but yours just hit the sweet spot for me. Might be a pinch or two of Model Team nostalgia there. I'll join others in applauding especially the use of minifigure collars on the lights. The trailer hoses are always a nice touch and I really appreciate the work put in all the accessories such as the shipping container. Lovely work all around - seeing these always brightens my day.

    This (seems to be a plate officially ): https://rebrickable.com/parts/2654/plate-round-2-x-2-with-rounded-bottom-boat-stud/47/.

    Good use of colours, definitely has a lot of character.

    Very nice and cohesive design (not a huge fan of lime green myself, but it works well). Lego could just slap it in a box and put it on the shelf right next to the Ducati.

    Very nice, especially for a C-model.

    The tubular frame really makes it, excellent details all around. Maybe a studless dish for the headlight?

    Ahhh, sorry. Those tires would be perfect, thanks! The look of the rims is optimal, but maybe they could work out.

    Thanks for checking! Damn, but the Tumbler wheels are too wide. I found the blueprints with dimensions for the Scania tractor. If i'd be willing to cheat with the car vs. truck scale a bit, the cab width would be 18 studs (2500mm IRL) using Arocs tires. Maybe add to the unrealism and stretch it to 19 studs, which would just fit a 15 studs wide car in the trailer. Or just make a pickup-truck with a simple trailer for a less grandiose setup

    Thanks! I was thinking something like this:

    Hey guys! I'm planning of building an European truck with a closed race car trailer for a TC18/42093 scale car. I'm pretty clueless on trucks, but it seems to me like the 42098's scale is a bit too small. Would 62.4mm tires be more appropriate?
  11. Surffikoira
    Awesome model and performance, love those drifts too! The use of the RC buggy steering unit is inspired, never even occured to me it could be used with a servo even though I own one. Seconded!
  12. Surffikoira
    Love it! Small scale, detailed but clean design and detachable bodywork ticks all the boxes for me. Thank you for the instructions, I think this might bring me out of my recent Lego slump.
  13. Surffikoira
    Egads! Fortunately the Technic minifig is too small to operate the machine, he looks like he's up to something

    I... Oh dear . Thank you and sorry for that. I just stared at the inventory like an idiot and somehow missed the obvious, including the extended stem on the pics. Thought the metallic silver would be more shiny though
  15. Surffikoira
    @rm8 Is it possible to use the wheel mold variation with the extended axle stem (https://rebrickable.com/parts/32020/wheel-432mm-d-x-18mm-with-extended-axle-stem/) on the model? I have my eye on the metallic silver wheels from the 8285. Cheers!

    Thank you for the instructions, the looks were hugely improved! Though even with the great mods this set was a disappointment and has been already scavenged for parts. Serves me right for binging on the silly movies just before the release of the set. The all black body in Lego with the LBG accents is just so mind-numbingly boring, hope it had a bit of metallic silver going on. Yeah baby, let's go! I think this screams for that ridiculous supercharger though. Maybe also a bit of color and some accessories like in the offroad version of FF7?

    Like many others I was at first wondering what this is doing in a Lego forum and then my eyebrows shot through the roof. The dark turquoise (among so many other things) is what really makes this as a) it's a lovely color b) you're not used to seeing it in Lego models. The Lego pieces are well camouflaged just by the scale – which I still can't quite grasp – of this behemoth. Well done!

    This is so awesome, I remember thinking "some day" like Marty when I saw the movie I already bought the instructions last week, just waiting on some (a lot of) parts to arrive before my childhood dream is fulfilled
  19. Surffikoira
    Huge congrats! Looking forward to the instructions, how are you going to make them BTW? Asking as a total instruction making newbie

    That Centenario is amazing and the little luggage is just the perfect cherry on top Bravo! The combination of blue and gold with the Sian rims looks really dope.
  21. Surffikoira
    I suppose you could install a water cannon inside the barrel for fighting forest fires and get rescuin'. Actually pretty pumped about the idea now
  22. Surffikoira
    I think the point at least some people were discussing is that at the end of the day the Osprey (not just a generic tilt rotor) is still a military vehicle regardless of the color or it's role on the battlefield. Troop rescue is still a military operation after all. I personally don't mind it (or the color scheme) but it is a bit odd considering the Lego group's stance on such things. Maybe modern military vehicles are fine as long as they don't have any weapons and can be imagined in a civilian role (unlike, say, tanks).
  23. Surffikoira
    Maybe an Abrams in racing livery next?
  24. Surffikoira
    I think an all grey scheme would've been considered too militaristic considering the Osprey's roots. It's a bit like the orange caps on the barrels of toy/airsoft guns
  25. Surffikoira
    Ah gotcha, sorry for the misunderstanding! I was wondering if my caffeine deprived brain was missing something and lo and behold. I couldn't vote myself but I feel that picking just 6 entries would be hard, let alone 10.
