Scale Modeling General Discussion
M_longer replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You are not going to move some topics here? Like Ingmar's trucks? -
servo not for steering?
M_longer replied to itoero's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes, but if it lift that trunk, it will work like a catapult :D -
Have you considered using LDD for quicker building and then exporting files to MLcad format? It is not a perfect solution (some newer pieces are exported with errors or dissapear completely), but it changes the building speed drastically. I am using that solution for a very long time and it works for me :)

That chain will be blown all over the bot after it hits something hard. Change it to axles and maybe knob wheels. -
Rebuilding the 42029
M_longer replied to itoero's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Ah, you are going to make something like a monster truck? With same size of the cab, but different chassis for bigger wheels? -
Rebuilding the 42029
M_longer replied to itoero's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Do you have enough parts to make a model that will be aproximetally 50% bigger than 42039B? -
Why not both? Shelves made from three (or four) layers of system plates and columns made with axles, connected to shelves by 1x5 plates. And you will have full width of the shelves with studs, and unwanted studs can be covered by tiles. You could also change the width of the studs by using 1x2 jumper plates with normal plates.

M.A.N TGX 18.400
M_longer replied to KikoTube's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I love when poeple add a picture of real machine for comparision... OK, this time list of things that are out of proportions would be way too long, because I am also working on TGX (bigger one, so far XXL cab on 5 axle chassis with gearbox) and I could suggest rebuilding almost every part of your model. Maybe a picture will be better? It is still a WIP, it is not perfect because still needs some tweaks (and and its overal dimensions will be changed, because it should be a bit smaller to match wheel size) but so far it resemble shape of the real truck quite nice (its size would be fine with Black Cat wheels). Anyway, consider at least rebuilding the bumper to change shape of the lights, rebuild rear parts of front mudguard to add that slit, add a gap between cab and bumper, add some details like wipers, turn signals, In other words, work on details that are characteristic for this truck. -
Technic 42029 Truck Help
M_longer replied to JDTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
No problem, I do not own the set, but after looking on its 3D model it is the first thing that came to my mind :) -
Technic 42029 Truck Help
M_longer replied to JDTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Check if you have the z16 gears (both with o an + opening) in correct order. It look s like your problem is caused by that z16 that is on the steering axle. -
This is Omars 120T recovery unit and it is not a rotator. It does have outriggers, but not a crane that can swing to sides.

No pictures this time, to keep Milan out of work ;) This truck has been also stolen and turned into a set by Lepin. This is pathetic...
