I am browsing trough internet looking for something that will fit that set and believe me, some of those machines has to be yellow ;)

An alternate model for 42106 Stunt Show Truck & Bike: I have bought this set long time ago, and it just standed on the shelf, aquiring dust. But I had an idea for alternate model for it, a road grader: After making a prototype version I was not pleased about how it ended, I have even shown it on my Instagram as a failed model: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DVQLKpNcT/ It could probably end on the bottom of my drawer, but feedback from my followers was great , so this model got its second chance. Here's how the final version looks: I tried to minimize color vomit caused by presence of (UGH) Medium Azure: Comes with four manual functions, which are HoG steering, front and main blades and rear ripper. Front blade can be raised with a lever. Main blade is operated by a gear rack. Rear ripper is operated by lever located in the cab All lights are mounted on half pins, which means that they will spin freely. To avoid that oddly looking lamps, you can add few stripes of paper on each pin, locking it securely. :) Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSSsFHW4nzk Comparison of A and C models: Model comes with instructions, sample pages: Can be obtained at na Sellfy and Rebrickable: https://sellfy.com/p/vphhl7/ https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-38802/M_longer/42106-road-grader Test model, a crucial part of instructions making:

Uhm, so this is stock set? There's already a topic for it. @Jim ?

You don't need to - this setup will remain purely virtual, because after adding it to complete model will be torn apart.

Thank you :) These instructions are always double checked, I always build a test model to be 100% sure that it can be assembled.

I am using LDraw to make pump/actuator/shock absorber. To create specific part from subparts and import it into Stud.io. Here's the example file https://bricksafe.com/files/M_longer/misc/pumps/6Lpumps.io

The most shocking thing about this model is its actual size. I have been working on instructions for few weeks, but I have realized how enormous it is after building it. And that's the reason why functions are limited, even with new C+ and longer actuators. Leverage force placed on the arm is much greater than in typical models built around 1:17 scale. Lat's say that this model is just a prelude for something sleeker and much advanced (keep in mind that three motors and hub are left unused) ;)

Oh my...

I have forgot to put that online :D Another thing on the to-do list... Looks nice in red :)

Hint: Resize them.

42078 co-co-combo! Now this is just awesome. Rebrickable user vanossy has just posted his combo model of two alternate models for 42078 set, made from my Flatbed trailer and this Volvo truck: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-12680/M_longer/42078-flatbed-trailer/?

They will be much more wider than the carrier. I have made more compact version.

I am really curious if you have figured out how the outriggers itself work :D

No, I am finalising instructions for the CLAAS Scorpion telehandler, 42108 mod is next on the list.

No chance, I have tried it with my L580 loader and I had to give up :)

Ten years you say... maybe a rebuild is needed? :D

For at least 8 years - nowhere, because it was taken apart...

With black outline :)

Enlarged version of this? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=57792

Yeah, no suspension at all:

I'd go for bigger miniatures for the panels.

Cool, I have forgot about that option at Rebrcikable :)

As I said earlier, marvelous model. How many parts were left?

Yes, but not now. I have received my BL order and I am starting verification of instructions for this little thing:
