Why are halfpins used here?
M_longer replied to Silvio's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
To prevent misplacing other pins. -
Help please with book
M_longer replied to toaofcrayons's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just buy it. There are reasons why it can't be read for free: time, work and effort put into creating that book by the author. -

Ursus 912 Tractor
M_longer posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
After few months of grey age, I have finished my another Model Team styled tractor. It's a polish Ursus 912: Everything began with 42054 set and its great tires. Unfortunatelly, so far LEGO did not decided to make these wheels in smaller diameter, so everything that could be built are largest 4x4 tractors on same wheels on both axles. Or... something smaller. It started, as usual, from single picture. This one: The biggest problem I had with designing this tractor was its colour. The real ones were painted in dark yellow, and closest match in LEGO colour palette was Bright Light Orange. And it lacks most of the typical, usefull parts. Let's say that building something within limited range of parts is not so enjoyable ;) https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=1&pg=1&colorPart=110&catType=P This model was designed from scratch in LDraw: Looking for perfect dimensions: First sketches: And after lots of iterations, the final version (which was slightly modified while being recreated with real bricks, becuase I have bought some great pieces like those wrenches) The Work in Progress gallery can be found here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/ursus-912/wip Finished model can stand on a shelf and turn wheels (they are not connected to the steering wheel though). Not too many functions, but on the other hand, my first MT tractor had same fucntions. By the way, that Renault was shown exactly 6 years ago. Finished Ursus 912: The roof can be closed: Front axle is also pendular: -
[C-MODEL] 42061 Forklift
M_longer replied to Nequmodiva's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Veeery nice C model :) Have you considered using worm gear for rasing the fork? -
Ahh, rright. English. Clutch /= driving ring. No, I was saying about those white z24 gears. Internal cluthces in linear actuators will be enough.

42054 C-Model - Wheel Loader
M_longer replied to M_longer's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It seems that by coincedence I have made something that could be an official B model of 42054 set. CLAAS has introduced their new line of... wheel loaders. Have a look at new CLAAS Torion loader compared to my model :)
