New project
Technic Gearhead replied to Pat-Ard's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That looks really good and I like orange anyways so I might have to build a variant at some point. The cab is exceptional - Lego designer quality which is the highest mark IMO. Great job! -
Thanks. I'm very respectful of the designs from LEGO and hesitant to change much unless there is a good enough reason and I have a solution I like more. I just figure most of that sort of stuff is cost related anyways, which is something we can all appreciate. The good news is we have plenty of parts to choose from to make tweaks and that is where a lot of the fun is for me.

Lego Technic 2h 2013

My guess is that it is since they went to the trouble of making decals for the rear panel. Also if you study the two versions you can kind of see the one with the exposed L motor being a less developed version of the other one. They made the decision to put the rear side 1x5x11 panel on to cover the motor and then changed the size of the gearshift area on the other side to match the same dimensions.- 902 replies

There's the 8264 Hauler wheels on that real one. Mine will end up having a little more yellow than the final version likely, and more LBG and DBG in place of most of the black on the chassis. I like it as is for the most part though.- 902 replies

I have noticed two variations of the way the yellow panels are attached to the side of the battery box, the above image being the cleaner and preferred design. It will be interesting to see if the area circled will get any additional tweaking as it looks a bit unresolved. It seems like a dream to see another future Technic icon in the making!- 902 replies

She's rounding into fine form! I like the additional LBG 1x5x11 panel on the top of the chassis instead of a bunch of stacked liftarms (4 before I think). I don't much care for the stacked liftarm aesthetic except in unavoidable moderation like the side of the 42008. These aren't system bricks!- 902 replies

Ok, so 8421 which a lot of people 'missed out on' and 8053 which isn't even a flagship, over an eight year period.- 902 replies

I would look at the trend for flagship B models over the last couple of years before getting too excited. That said, I'm too impressed with the Crane to care at this point. Some of you are really hard to please!- 902 replies

Will they change the color of the white 16L axles for the stabilizers on the production version? Good eye! I liked them better DBG for the contrast. Mine will probably be rolling on yellow 8264 wheels anyways like my 8421.- 902 replies

I was afraid the crane would be $249 when i saw the piece count. I think it's a bargain at $219.- 902 replies
