  1. You've got to be kidding its one of the biggest topics here http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57543
  2. Nice work
  3. Sorry for the double post but I got an update The chassis is much more rigid and the bumper has taken shape. I also fixed the steering problem and added in an engine although I'm wondering if it should be in an I configuration similar to the Unimog I tried a couple solutions with the front lights, but all were pretty bad looking so I finally went with Madoca style headlights as I love the look of them. Also ,without meaning to, I made the front a little like Madoca's wing body truck which was odd as I was using 8258 as inspiration. Speaking of which, here's a test with the 8258 cabin Currently the XL motor is way too high on the chassis although I am unsure how to get it lower. Please don't hesitate to post your feedback and suggestions as I value all of them no matter what they are . Next update will probably be by this Saturday
  4. Nice work on this one. Maybe you could make a manual version for MT
  5. Oh ok I had no idea thanks. Next update should be end of today but I can't promise anything
  6. I was originally thinking something like this with pneumatic cylinders However, I'm thinking they will be too weak so I guess I'm going to use acuators, but fitting that in a mechanism like that would be tough,so I'll have to see other potential mechanisms I'll try that, but will it make a big difference?
  7. Heres the new update. It now has (slow) driving and fixed steering. I also started working on the back. Some more pics I decided not to model it after any particular truck so I improvised the rear. I'm pretty pleased with how the rear turned out, but what do you guys think? Although the chassis is much more sturdy now, the middle needs work. A potential problem is going to be the placement of the acuators and the acuator motor as the middle is taken up by the drive motor. As always feedback is welcome and please post suggestions for improvement
  8. 750ACE is right you shouldn't sell it. IMO the Unimog is one of the best sets and it will be worth alot more someday too
  9. You sir have some insane MOCs. They all look so good and seem very functional. Looking forward to seeing the build of the Kenworth
  10. I like the boom, but what if someone wanted to build it and didn't have that counterweight on hand
  11. Nice review. I was actually planning a written review of this model once I built it, but looks like you beat me to it
  12. Thanks everyone for all the feedback.Yea I noticed the steering problem after I posted Hopefully I can fix it in the next couple days . I like the sound of an American truck, but i don't think that I have enough skill to make the longnose shape and stuff. Next update should be out by tomorrow, but I can't promise anything
  13. Awesome work. This could definitely be mistaken for an actual set
  14. Thanks for the sugestions! I don't think it seems too long as I was comparing it to the 8258 chassis, but I'll see once it takes more shape. Stabilitywise I like the idea of another layer of beams so it can be more rigid. I was thinking of doing either an axle lift or another steered wheel in the rear, but I don't think a rear steered wheel is very common in dump trucks so wheel lift seems to be the better option.
  15. Some of you may know that I was building a dump truck based off the 8258. Although I was about 90 percent done, I found the chassis to be too messy and way too flexible. Also the dumping just wasn't working out in the space that i had. So, I decided to start from scratch and create a MOC that wasn't based off any existing designs. Here are some pics. Please note that I am a beginner and MOC pretty slowly, however I'll try to get the chassis done soon Also please give me suggestions on what brand of dump truck i should model And as always suggestions are welcome
  16. Wow that is quite the bargain. I don't have the patience to hunt for bargains
  17. That is impressive. I was amazed that it drove to the top of that slope
  18. The steering idea is nice although it seems a bit out of scale
  19. This is amazing. The hood pattern is beautiful
  20. So many great car MOCs to build and not enough money to buy them all
  21. Nice ! Although I'm not really a fan of the cabin too
  22. Interesting choice for a vehicle due to its obscurity but I like it
