    I'll probably actually build this one. Then watch it for a minute, then tear it apart

    It is the first clear picture I have seen at least! Looks great, those 1x1/11 M cylinders are just This is the first time since coming out of my dark ages I am genuinely excited about a new set!

    Thanks for pointing that out, I'll edit the text accordingly. I haven't actually tried it, but I'll give it a go with one of the more complex hoses on this model!

    250 / 19 = 13 per country, still quite far from the 3750 per country they get in USA I don't know, I guess Batman and comic books in general is a lot bigger in USA

    Got an e-mail about this yesterday, looks pretty nice! And you're complaining about 75*50 states = 3750 models for one country whereas Europe gets 250 for the entire continent?!?

    Sorry for late reply, didn't see you there No, it is not supposed to be any particular brand, but colour-wise Liebherr might spring to mind.. I was inspired by several models from browsing the CranesEtcTV YouTube channel, amongst others the Case CX240B MH and misc. Sennebogen and Liebherr machines Anyway, I have now redesigned the chassis and made a better digital file. The dozer blade is now operated by a small LA instead of pneumatics, as I found it was too easy to spin the superstructure too many times, therby tangling the pneumatic hose going through the turntable. The new LDraw file is fully stepped, with reasonable submodels (arm, dipper, chassis, superstructure, etc), so anyone wanting to give it a go should be able to build it fairly easily. I highly reccommend using LDcad for the build process, maybe in conjunction with LPub (for parts callout). LDcad will let you go through the file step by step, while allowing you to rotate and inspect the model from every angle. Also it gives you the lengtht might give an approximate length of the pneumatic hoses. It might be a good idea to change the colour of the hoses to see where they go There shouldn't be any rare parts here, except for the two, long, old cylinders. Later this summer, when the 42043 is released, I will do an updated version of this MOC, using the new cylinders The digital file can be downloaded here. It is built as an excavator, but the material grab is included as a submodel. EDIT: I will try to add it to rebrickable in not too long

    Pipasseyoyo does indeed have some of the coolest Technic MOCs out there IMO. The suspension on his 8x8 dump truck is simply brilliant! I built the rear suspension from an LDD file on his brickshelf for use on a 6x6 hauler, and it worked flawlessly

    Midian album by Cradle of Filth sure brings back some memories! Nice, albeit somewhat messy, setup Sariel!

    I'm thinking the new long 1x1 cylinder from the upcoming 42043 Arocs will open up a new world of possibilities for MOCs in this scale to be modelled both aesthetically and functionally accurate!

    Technic - 8479 Barcode Multi-Set, alternate models All models built using only LDcad. All parts present, including wire, excluding stickers. Some (very few) pins are out of allignment due to parts being stressed in the physical build. The Code Pilot Brick is an unofficial part. Download this one here: 8479-2 Download this one here: 8479-3 Download this one here: 8479-4

    That pretty much sums up my reaction to seeing the cutaway as well! I like it very much technically, but you seem to have a case of too small wheels syndrome going for you I imagine it would be perfect scale for the wheels from 42024 container truck, but the wheel arches and distance between axles would have to be redesigned Overall very impressive! At first glance I was more like, meh, but the gear setup pretty much places it in a league of its own in this scale!

    It looks very nice! Is there enough friction in the arm joints to pose it, or does it have to rest on something?

    Hi roland, thanks for a great piece of software! I have a small problem; I accidentally edited the template for the flexible 9V cable, and proceded to (again accidentally) delete it within the template somehow. It still shows up in the list, but it's "empty." Is there a way to reset this to default? Here is a picture that shows what it looks like I tried uninstalling and reinstalling LDcad, that didn't work.. Will I maybe need to reinstall all things LDraw?

    Wow, looks pretty spectacular, and very orange! My guess is that the blacked out "windows" is there to hide the RC unit inside (ref the antenna). Being a very big and bulky piece, it is difficult to make space for a decent interior. I had the same problem when I made my "GT" version of Madoca's supercar
  15. D3K
    Where did you find it? And yes, if it doesn't have the LEGO name on it somewhere, it isn't LEGO
  16. D3K
    Wow indeed, quite spectacular level of details!
  17. D3K
    You answered your own question further up
  18. D3K
    I think you'll save a lot of time as well as money by just starting to use bricklink But if you have the several hours to look for #3 red connectors, and for some reason just don't want to use bricklink, then by all means
  19. D3K
    You're probably right, haven't really checked the prices in a long time, just remember they were quite expensive.. And yes, I was thinking selling it as a complete set, as I don't think it would be owrth the time and effort for someone not selling bricklink on bricklink on a regular basis to part it out and sell piece by piece
  20. D3K
    Yes! IMO the 8421 is highly overrated However, the buggy motor and pneumatic brackets are nice though.. If your model is complete aand in good condition, you could probably sell it for more money than the 42043 will retail for
  21. D3K
    8459 also links to a page, with picture/render of the 8459, but text from 8853 Not that I'm complaining; I just assume/hope even more updates are on the way Again; great effort, I really enjoy reading the year-by-year summaries!
  22. D3K
    Looks promising! I like the use of the 42009 outrigger design in the rear, very fitting Are you planning to make a pair up front as well? Also; is the crane the same as the one on 8258?
  23. D3K
    Wow, that is really huge! It even makes the rotor blades seem kinda small! Awesome job! Is the EC135P2 the same machine the Norwegian Air Ambulance Service uses? I walk past the one in Bergen pretty much every day (or it flies past my house), and if it is the same model, your landing skids seem a bit off? Maybe their length or attachment points? Then again, I don't have intricate knowledge of helicopters, and you definitely seem to know a lot about the subject! Love the cockpit interior and your "IMIS" especially!
  24. D3K
    Awesome effort! I was actually checking for updates yesterday Looking forward to read up on everything!
  25. D3K
    Great news roland! I just started using your software (mainly to make pneumatic hoses), and I'm liking it more and more! Will check out the 1.5A as soon as I have the chance!
