    This is a beauty. Congrats to this excellent piece of work.

    Bump! Tonight i started with tinkering on my cargo plane. I've been wanting to do so for about 3 month now (got my hands on it in March). I started with the right wing extended it a bit ( 11studs) and added a second engine gondola. The wings needs to be supported by a 16L liftarm, other wise the prop blades hint the ground. Here are some images. Don't mind the color scheme - it is WIP and proof of concept (an early, very early alpha spoken binary): Comments are welcome.

    You're right, nevermind.

    i can not name the set, but i remember cutting tubbing in official sets according to the instruction booklets.

    If you want TLG to consider this for an official set, you've got to change the seat color. TLG would never accept an orange seat. Anyway, this strongly reminds my of the 8851 excavator from 1984. Which btw. just counts 347 pieces.

    LEGO Shop@Home Germany has the Bulldozer 42028 (39,99€), Truck 42029 (89,99€) and Loader 42030 (219,99€) now listed. Available August 1st. The cannot be added to the shopping basket yet.

    Looks great and a marvelous transmission. But i agree with Modulex Guy - the saddle looks rather uncomfortable/a bit unfinished compared to pictures of the real thing.

    You could consider using the Lego RC unit and motors for propulsion. It's bulky but it offers proportionate speed output. And the aux port could turn the turret.

    brickstore.at states that the MSRP will be 219,99€ for Austria. I guess it will be the same for Germany than. I'd expect that the market price (online retail) will finally be somewhere around 165-175€, if one counts on the common 20-23% discount of the online retailers. No VIP points for it than, but that is more than OK for me as they're only a 5% discount on 100€ spent.

    Wonderful work! "Shoting" the scenery in different seasons is the icing on the cake. I hope you find the chance to show it to many people.

    You mad me curious. The tricycle looks great. Looking forward for you booklet.

    Great functionality. Good job. Could be boxed and sold for 29.99-34.99€ by TLG.

    Cool! Just cool.

    Great details. I watched the video, the suspension seams to be very effective. Good job.

    @ Nicjasno Just out of curiousity - Could you provide some pictures?

    Cool to see a small Super Car without PF stuff. Great job on cramming all those features in such small space. Seems fun to play around with it. The folding roof is great.

    Hi VintageCharlie! Welcome to Eurobricks. There are quite a few instruction sets for different kind of crawlers/off roaders flying around the community. Just to name 2 sources: Have a look at Jurgen's Tarantula: www.jurgenstechniccorner.com or Nico's trail trucks: http://www.nico71.fr You should be able to fit your 69er body on it. Let us know about your progress.

    Great shooting and loading mechanism. Simple, but very effective.
  19. TinkerBrick
    The most effective approach to power a Lego boat IMHO. Thanks for your research.

    Nice MOC. I second Alasdair - compared to the real cab your seem a bit to high/the skirting hangs a bit low. What do you think about switching the crane beams to liftarms?
  21. TinkerBrick
    Well done! Even without the technic and PF stuff i would have been a great Model Team MOC.

    Third Party pneumatic tubing seems like a legit alternative to me. I use them for modding my unimog and replacing old tubing from the 80s. I'm fine with it. Imho TLG is not producing these tubes it selfs but orders it from a third party manufacturer. It's about the sole part that is not branded with its logo.
  23. TinkerBrick
    Stunning! You managed to capture the original shapes and color scheme perfectly. Looks really clean. But now, the original Highway Rig looks like an early prototype/handmade sample. Although i like the closed doors more. Can you tell the approximate part count. Would be interesting to compare the two in this category. To sum it up - great job!
  24. TinkerBrick
    Not bad, infact not bad at all. Great MOC. Nice details and a good looking cab. I like hot the LAs are barely visible. Only the stabilizer looks somewhat flimsy. Do you have a photo of the original truck? Fantastic work well presented.

    I only visit EuroBricks.com like twice a week. I have no idea why you would think i stop on by several times a day?
