8110 Unimog building time?
Gene replied to bekesizoltan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
8110 was my first Lego investment after more than 30 years. It took me 14-15hrs within the next 3 days to complete. Time wasted figuring out my errors on the front chassis... -
How do you start your MOCS?
Gene replied to Lakop's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I did it once (1) through visuals research (not lego samples). (2) refer to my available parts (mostly technic) and hands-on shaping the exterior for hours ("Eat, Sleep, Technic" syndrome). (3) Starts to order parts from bricklink and complete it with further modifcations (so long there're studs and joints to matchup, anything can take shape). (4) I left the pneumatic setup at the last stage. I do not have the luxury to own many sets and getting parts can be very taxing and never enough. Always thought I should have ordered more... Nevertheless, I'm still very impress and inspire by many MOCing fans in EB! -
suspension 8110 unimog
Gene replied to rab's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Welcome koen claeys! I decided to shift the front suspension 1 stud backward to solve this issue. Since the unimog is front heavy, you'll realise a slight bend on the suspension when you lift the cab up. -

ETF HTX-380 Mining Truck.
Gene replied to Saberwing40k's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I guess the hydraulic(Chrome) retract back into the hydraulic cylinders(Red) and the hydraulic cylinders(Red) fold together with the lower arm legs (Grey) parallel with the platform? There's a rope-like attachment to control and limit the out-trigger?I believe Pneumatic for the top attachment and pair with Gears for the folding mechanism should work. -

Sample colours are very subjective unless we are referring to Pantone charts. All 4 colour presented by rm8 were consider good for me. For Stickers: Logos & Name: - Letro (Oil) - rm8 (Car model, can we get a technic figure driver name rm8?) - 8 (Racing number) - BOSS (Car name) Elements: - Stripes (For deco) - Flame (For deco)

9398 Moc - Escape Crawler
Gene replied to Gene's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks jm731lego! Once you invest in a good set, you'll be thought with the building techniques and functions from it's manual. It was a youtube video on 8110 which got me started with Lego Technic and my very first investment. All thanks to Tito Nobre who published his review back then. Take your time to read more and get poisoned : ) -

Thanks Tim! White panels are nice but limited # available. Yes, I'm glad that the technic figure blend really well with the model. -
Hi! Thank you for viewing this topic! Lego 9398 Challenge has ended. Before I dismantle and move on with other ideas. I'd like to share my first lego technic moc here with further improvements, including what I've learned from fellow friends of Eurobricks. Hope you'll like some of the moc featured here [: )]: Here's the video on the performance (sorry for the shaky video):
