  1. Info yes, pictures (I'm afraid) no
  2. @M_longer it is actually very difficult to choose between your model and official B model ?; both look very very good
  3. With 62.4 tires and range from 18-20 studs you can cover scales from 1:16 (approximately) for 20 studs wide chassis to 1:18 scale for 18 studs wide chassis; real truck has usually 2500mm wide chassis. So I think that @Technic BOOM should follow your advice and "improve" a bit his moc, but other things are good (not perfect but good)
  4. If I remember correctly, Tempest had characteristical chin for radiator to cool down H-24 engine (yes it has 24 cylinder engine).... Looks interesting project
  5. Yes you are right, in ex Yugoslavia (thanks God is history) topical cars were Fiat 600 build under license. That car was really something special when it comes to oil change; you have to roll the car over tractor tire to fill up oil and that kind of Skoda as @PsychoWard666 made was luxury car in comparison to what we had (if you were rich). Trust me there were even bigger jokes than Skoda (Yugo, Trabant, Wartburg, Moskwitch...)
  6. And it goes and goes...when my wife suggested me to buy it instead of VW Golf, I thought she had something missing in her head, but now it has over 405000km and needs less that 0.1L oil per 1000km; that time if engines in Fabia with this kind of maintenance like I do usually drive more than 1.000.000km per engine ...as you can read here http://www.skoda-auto.com/news/news-detail/fabia-1250 So the longer I drive it, more satisfied I'm with this car
  7. Question was dealing with suspension; did you use suspension like set 42043 (Arocs) or something else?
  8. It looks like someone has fun in snow. Mack classic truck shape is represented very good and it looks like it performs very well. What kind of suspension do you use? Can we see more images?
  9. Hi Steph, My goal was to make simple construction for sturdy playable tractor but due to use (only) smartphone, I can hardly promise any kind of instructions. The only thing that I could make is to make additional samples of main construction and gearbox features... Currently still working in gearbox, but managed to integrate central differential (because I have lot of older 4L differentials I have to integrate them somewhere, hm perhaps I can put 4 of them in harvester ?)
  10. Since one my future project is telehandler based on 94.3 x 38 Unimog tires (scale 1:15 like Unimog and Fastrac) I'll be very happy to see your version.
  11. I'll make more photos asap after I finished my work on chassis. Currently I'm working on rear part of chassis.
  12. I suppose that you mean 42082 (Rough Terrain Crane). 42083 is Bugatti Chiron if I'm not nuts.
  13. I agree with @MajklSpajkl, but I prefer my Fabia Diesel
  14. That is why I'm trying to replicate machinery which is proven on market and to make as simple as possible solutions on it... Honestly the only digging machine that I plan to make (one day) is 4CX (JCB); at least it would have the same color as your moc
  15. Glad that I could help....in the meantime I have also framework I'll publish photos as soon as I achieve acceptable compromise.
  16. I will sound not so original as I'm used to be, but at the first sight it is something like hybrid between 8043 and 42030 set, so perhaps you can use their solutions and combine them on some testing platform and then to see for optimal size; it is a but different approach, but perhaps you could try it
  17. And general problem I that it is spreading in all spheres of human activity like pest. The set itself could be usefull as parts donor when I need handful of parts for my mocs, but post expenses for BrickLink order are (together with order) higher than price of the set. now I'm starting to believe in Juno Moneta
  18. And that is the greatest richness of all, you should be very proud. I know who is "guilty" for that Regards
  19. First of all review is decent, if not excellent based on set as object of review. Positive thing that I can say is dark azure color and as time passes by I really like this color. Images are great as usual, despite not such good set, but as you mentioned the only God here is actually Goddess Juno Moneta.
  20. But she is little princess, and pink is color of love and that could mean that she loves you
  21. Look at the bright side: problem would be if your grandson wanted Porsche in pink, so with granddaughter it is normal
  22. When I saw what you have found; my first thought was something like this could be official set. What I miss on this creation is driving ring control with change over catch piece...
  23. If I can see correctly, you put LAs below axle? To reinforce cab with frame is a good idea; hm it is familiar somehow ?
  24. What I have noticed that fully RC flagship was in 2007, then in period 2010, 2012 and 2014; and then in 2017, so it is not 100℅ to base expectations on some pattern...but I have noticed some patterns mentioned in EB forum about sets with hooks etc...but 2019 awaits with summer surprises.
  25. Yes you are completely right...every odd year there was a bike
