This looks great. Its hard to tell its even Lego

Aside from the coloring scheme, I think I like the B model more than the A model

Very nice Tatra.

I'm amazed how many functions you put into this scale. Great work

This looks like a nice start. I always wondered why TLG hasn't made a set out of this. (correct me if I'm wrong) I believe it had more screentime than the B wing , yet we got 3 sets and and UCS for it yet nothing for this

I was so worried that there would be no Sariel reviews for these sets, but glad that its still happening. Its almost a tradition whenever new sets get unveiled . Looking forward to these new reviews as always

This looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing it finished

Great MOC. I can only agree with others about the IR reciever, but the rest looks great

I think someone has taken care of it as his status is listed as "taking a break"

I like the outrigger and airtank mod. Would love to do something like that when I get the set

Awesome work

First time entering for me. I wish I had the bricks to build a better model, but I wanted to build a lightsaber tree Bit skeletal

Just wondering what are your opinions on the 8285 Tow Truck? I got interested in this set recently. Is it a good set and is it worth paying extra for the metallic version?

Great alternate. Definitely as good as the A and B model

I'd love to see a rally car, a Nascar racer, or a DTM racer Lots of stickers on all of these, but they could be fun for kids and AFOLs

The wings look perfect. Nice work

Very nice excavator :thumbup:

Ah my bad I misunderstood. Edited my post

There's already a topic for this http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=83016

Never really considered that. I don't see it as necessary, as I always thought the rear was too long; however, I will try it and see how it turns out I agree that most of the mods aren't really visible unless viewing it with the original set

Ah yes I forgot to mention the seats had to go in favor of the IR reciever and M motor. It was a bad compromise, but I wanted the receiver to be hidden. The area in front of the doors was already bad in the original and I wasn't sure what to do with it Need more skill in MOCcing I guess

I got this set a few months ago and was immediately dissatisfied with it. So I decided to modify it, but just got around to posting it now. Special thanks to sm1995 for his tips and advice. The first thing to go was that atrocious front end. I gave it Madoca style headlights, LEDS, widened fenders, a more uniform color scheme, and filled in gaps. The winch is also manual now and uses Sariel's solution of manual control. I also missed an important part on the truck see if you can spot it. Now on to the rest of the truck. Cosmetically I did a lot. I raised the roof by one stud, and moved the front axle back one stud, and dropped the rear axle by one stud. I think all of these things really help the looks. On the inside, I tore out the gearbox and added IR control to it. Its powered by one XL and steering it controlled by an M motor which sits where the gearbox was. There is also an M motor in the original place for the set, but it only powers dumping through a red switch hidden behind a panel. The LEDs are also controlled by the switch which caused a lot of messy wiring underneath the bed. Overall I'm happy with how it turned out, but there are a lot of things I'd like to change: The dump bed is too long and the wheels stick out way too much. There are also a number of small rough spots which I would have like to have done better. As always feedback is very appreciated And finally a (blurry) bonus for all you Star Wars fans

This looks very nice! Although the influence of other builders can be seen, it is clearly your own MOC :thumbup:
