Indeed, I've planned to add that support in, but its a simple procedure and I wanted to make sure to get everything else working first. This build still has a few hours worth of work to do, mostly on the crane turret. That translates to at least a week real time. I'm also new to the photography aspect, gotta set that all up and test it. These shots were satisfactory for the WIP stage, but the final set will be done with a diffused-light box on a white background with tripod and post-production editing and all that fun stuff I know little about

I love the roof and that cobble floor is just awesome! My only gripe is that left wall made of 1x2 plates. Doesn't match the smoothiness of the other features.

I'm wondering how you grab the prices and other info from these websites, it's gotta require at least some sort of maintenance to add new sets to the list? The only thing I can think of including in the information is piece count and possibly minifigure count. But thanks to this I might go pick up that Transport Truck Creator set for the heck of it. $14 for over 270 pieces is kind of hard to pass up.

I'm building with a lot of yellow, and there's DEFINITELY a difference in shades, yet Bricklink makes no distinction, so I can never predict which yellow I will get from a new seller. I only buy "New" bricks as well, so I don't know whats happening but I guess some sellers have old stocks of technically new lego Also, I bought a batch of yellow 1x3 tiles, and half of them already have hairline cracks from normal use. But they are LEGO brand pieces for sure, and this makes me sad. Happens with other tiles as well. Still, I'd rather have cracking pieces than no 1x3 tiles at all! I know the plastic isn't indestructible, but still, a 50% failure rate like that is kind of unacceptable, especially when the pieces are $0.10+ per piece due to rarity. That adds up for big projects.

It's G1 Hook, the evil Constructicon. Yes it has a third mode Anyways, I knew I shouldn't have included that last picture, argh! I wanted the experienced town vehicle builders to take a look, truly. When I post the dump truck, I will fight the temptation! Fixed the original post to save the thread from relocation.

I love these! At first I thought the new lego dinos were neat and great for kids, but I gotta admit I kind of want some now, to make dino-riders with. I had the big brontosaurus, pterodactyl, and the ankylosaurus. Off to bricklink to see what dinos there are now.

Hi! I'm new here. I've been working on this mobile crane for a long time. It's based mostly on the Kato KA-900, with some heavy modifications made to accommodate the vehicle's added functions. I would love some honest criticism about the detailing! The retractable supports are weak, I know, but there's good reasons for that, I promise! I can't post urls yet it seems :( so if you'd like to see more pics look for me on flickr as MothyWorkshop. Edited out the last picture because it potentially disqualifies this MOC from being posted in Town.
