This is what I am interested in right now. Also, will USA get access to H1 at the same time as the rest of the world?

I echo the want for a Grader. I would also like to see a Scraper that is better than some of those old B models. I would love to see some boat; think of the functions that could be included on a fishing boat or something. I am a sucker for Fellers and Garbage Trucks. I would love to see them. I am a little baffled we have not see a Garbage Truck before, they are often made into children's toys. I wonder why we have not see them in a Technic line before.

Great job. Are the shocks mounted horizontally under the motors? Is there one shock per road wheel?

Well done. I love the simplicity, and the size is right up my alley.

Is there any steering on the dragster?

It would seem odd to me that the Fire truck only has the function of the water cannon on the roof. All that space in the back has to hold something else. Right? Or am I just being too hopeful?

I don't mind all the panels. They help me make better MOCs. I do like all the colors we are getting as of late.

I like that there are 7 H1 to choose from. I like the girth of the helicopter, particularly in the rear boom. It looks pretty good. I am pleased with how the stunt plane turned out, and the dragster will make a great part set. The speed boat is great, and the fire truck looks pretty good as well. I'm pleased.

Thanks for the update. I use this tool often, and it works great.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been there so many times. That feeling you get when you suddenly see the Canyon coming out of the trees never goes away.

Me too frankly.

I was going to ask what was your favorite part. I'm glad you like the Grand Canyon. How far down did you get in the canyon?

Got it. Thanks for the heads up. 42045 looks great.

I have been watching this thread for three weeks, and the one day I am not paying attention is the one day I miss all the activity. Now the pictures are gone. Boooooo.

Train 'em right, and train 'em early. They'll be good some day.

Thirdwiggville welcomed Thirdwigg Jr. Jr. this last week. It turns out this helps my productivity of projects that have been sitting dormant for a while. The T-55 is really coming together nicely.

Most of what I like to build is midsize. Most of the MOCs are non RC. Many have instructions, so feel free to build what you want.

I love the versatility of the design. Well done and good luck.

I have submitted the above question for clarification to the Rebrick.com team. I will share the response here.

Max, how do you mean? I don't believe this has been posted before?

I like the headlights, and the green will work well on the final design. I would be interested to see what a future unimog would look like.

From Thirdwigg.com For Immediate Release, May 22, 2045 The 2045 Mercedes Benz Athane prioritizes safety, sustainability, and versatility. The 2045 Athane is the most advanced and cost effective truck in our 150 years of truck building experience. As cities become denser and multiple transportation modes are becoming more prevalent, road safety for all road users must be paramount. The Athane’s ThemoCommLink (TCL), located on the right front and right rear bumpers, allow motorized vehicles to communicate to one another. The TCL also detects the heat signature of pedestrians and cyclists. Identification and communication with other users, keeps all road users safer. The driver is seated in the center and forward in the cab to increase vision. Retention of a human driver allows for relational interaction at the job site, and helps the technology make good decisions about varying road situations. The TCL Technology assists the driver so fewer errors are made. The front bumper shaping and full length wheel guards lowers the severity of crashes with non-motorized users should they occur. The Athane uses eight steerable wheels to improve weight distribution and increase city maneuverability. While many manufactures are switching to floatation and hover type drivetrains, this setup allows for unmatched braking control, and removes disruptive air currents to those walking and cycling close to the moving truck. The Athane’s Methane-Hybrid driveline continues Mercedes Benz’s prioritization of decreasing fossil fuel use. The Athane uses electric propulsion using energy stored in the batteries under the cab and bed. Battery charging is done by braking and by a small methane powered combustion engine behind the cab. Additionally, the Athane can be ordered with an induction charger under the cab to work with newly developed induction charging roadways being installed in many municipalities. Methane gas is clean burning, and a significant byproduct of the waste and recycling process currently in place with Octan Rubbish. A partnership with Octan Energy and Mercedes Benz has developed a standard way to reap, store, transport, and fuel the Athane’s regeneration engine using methane gas. Removable methane tanks are house behind the rear wheels, and in smaller tanks in the cab. Today’s logistics companies are searching for ways to improve versatility and lower cost. The Athane’s SmartStack systems allows for interchangeable bodies, cargos, and applications all with one common truck. The SmartStack system makes it easy to change the load in just minutes. The connection fits the international container standard. Many body work designers are applying this standard as well. In one afternoon, you can ship a container, deliver a load of concrete, and pull a fifth-wheel with the standard hitch. Welcome to the future. The 2045 Mercedes Benz Athane keeps all road users safer, decreases our harm on the planet, and supports all work tasks needed.

That's about right. Some of them are duplicates. I think there is about a week left, so there should be more. Including mine...

Cool. I am interested to see how the body work turns out on this. It's been fun to see all the different designs posted so far.
