    I'm more in awe of Dokludi's abilities than the model itself but it doesn't look bad. New panels/beams in silver would have been killer though.

    As much as I love the 05/06 GT, the new GT is simply incredible. It is so far beyond anything Ford has made and is now a true supercar. As soon as it was unveiled I thought about how awesome a Technic model would be so I cannot wait to see what you do!

    I thought I read January 25th somewhere, not sure though.

    I think it looks fantastic! Nicely done!

    I tried different foams and even cut some PVC tubing to fit inside the Rock Crusher XT's but nothing worked. The foam would always end up flat and the tubing worked well but there was a weak spot where the two ends meet. The best solution I found was to shove the Unimog tires inside They actually fit pretty well once you get them in and they keep the sidewalls nice and stiff. I reckon they would be able to support a 12-15 pound MOC without a problem.

    Another crane truck? I would definitely prefer a proper dump truck over another 8258.

    An Arocs would be nice but being the supercar fan that I am, the W05 or AMG GT sounds better

    I would gladly pay $250+ for a 1:8 scale W05. Mercedes have a lot to be proud of with their Formula 1 team and I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the WDC and WCC wins than a giant LEGO model. I can imagine the box and everything...

    Ah, good to know! I purchased some closed cell foam inserts from Crawler Innovations that were suppose to fit the Rock Crusher XT's but there is still a bit of wiggle room inside. They work better than the soft foam that was included but I think something solid would work better. I thought about cutting a piece of plastic conduit or tubing and using that as a filler but that is not ideal of course.

    I'm looking for some 1.9 tires for the 42030 Volvo. I currently have a set of Rock Crusher XT's on it but the compound is too soft. Are the GMade 1901 tires any harder? Or maybe you guys know of something else?
  11. therealjustin
    My top five in order: 42009 42030 8043 8070 8420/8051 - I can't decide :)

    I was not really planning on getting the set right away and when I did, it would be for parts only. I purchased it in August and four months later I still have it on display It certainly has shelf presence and is easily one of the best Technic sets ever made. If you buy a few extra pieces to add Efferman's steering, put on aftermarket tires and fill in the holes in the bodywork it makes it that much more enjoyable to play with and look at.

    This is a must if you own the 42030. Stellar work indeed by Efferman! I was surprised at how many of the needed parts I had but I still had to order a few through Brick Link so I don't cannibalize other models I also grabbed a set of Crawler Innovations closed cell foam inserts for the rear tires to help with the weight of the battery box.

    I can't find the single 33299 in the full model LXF file. Is that used for the steering mod?
  15. therealjustin
    Thanks for the reviews! The 42039 was the one I wanted most and it could have been great but instead it fails to excite me at all, and I'm a fan of endurance racing. It just doesn't capture the look of the current LMP1 cars. The fenders look off with their squared-of edges and the tires are too small(or the car is too big). Flex axles in that green color would have been a better choice for fenders.

    Expensive parts have killed many of my ideas and attempts at building some of the excellent MOC's out there. The flex axles that were common place are now commanding $15-$20 each and when you need six of them it adds up quick. I cannot pay $100+ for thin pieces of rubber now matter how badly I want to build the model.
  17. therealjustin
    I should have clarified that I have parts from 9398 and 8070 to work with. The $200 is for the extra bits My choice would be the F40 if only for the scale, but even with all of the LXF files combined it does not seem like everything is there. Plus, those 14L flex axles are stupidly expensive.

    I am looking to build my first "supercar" MOC but choosing one is not easy. I have about $200 set aside for extra parts. Madoca's Off Road Pickup Paul's 911 GT3 jorgeopesi's F40 Or, I can continue waiting for the 76023 Tumbler to come back in stock
  19. therealjustin
    Nice, can't wait! Am I right in thinking that the 42039 b-model is like a Bowler EXR-type SUV? Or is it more like a buggy/car?
  20. therealjustin
    I was thinking about modding the rear of the loader to something like this. It would look more like the real L350F for sure.
  21. therealjustin
    I'm in love! Just wonderful! I know this will end up costing a lot of money but I don't care. I HAVE to build this truck.
  22. therealjustin
    I made a few small improvements last night to my 42009. The rear superstructure has been raised and extended by one stud so as to match the front cabin height, and it now sits even with the boom.
  23. therealjustin
    Exceptional work yet again! This is what 42029 should have been.
  24. therealjustin
    The file for the 76023 Tumbler doesn't load for me.
  25. therealjustin
    At least make some new covers like on 8653 and 8145.
