  1. It is a good start for improvement.
  2. Few things that are visible at first sight: Wheels sticking out from under the cab look really bad. Lights have wrong shape. Front edge of the cab should have cutouts above the lights. Lower grill bars should be V shaped. I might say more, but I'll have to compare your model with blueprints. Actually, your model looks like mix between mp3 and mp4 generations of the Actros. OK, I have compared front of your model with blueprints. Aaaand... it should be rebuild. (Click for higher resolution) Left one is scaled down to the width of your model, right one to the wheels diameter. And neither of them resembles shapes of your model.
  3. Which generation of Actros is this? This one?

  5. A movie showing it in action would be nice. It looks like some old COE trucks: Why have you geared down servo?
  6. I really, REALLY would like to thank you for showing me how to mount those tires on a rim. I was experimenting with all yellow wheels I have, with hubs made from turntables, but did not thought about using older rim, with 3 holes and without those reinforcments. Works like a charm. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
  7. They are ready (I have tested them by building test model in Liebherr livery), but the presentation is not. It lacks a movie, which by my standards, does not allow to show Technic model. I have very, hmm, intense time at work and I wasn't able to find time for Lego for a long time :( I know that many people would like to build that model, but I want to have it presented properly. So I can only ask you for your patience right now.
  8. There was also a new 3L axle with stop (brown) to complement the existing 4L and 8L. And 5L :) a new manual pump was introduced (shown in gray I see a blue one ;)
  9. You are asking about that a man, who has every single Technic set ever released by TLG.
  10. Just use 3x5 L liftarms instead of those you have now.
  11. Change those black liftarms in front of the hood for Light Bluish Gray ones, it will look better. It is also missing front lights, and maybe warning lights on the roof? Add mirrors, steering wheel and door handles?
  12. Have you ever built something as big as this model?
  13. You have aproximatelly less than 10% needed parts. Have you considered going with functions, not with size? Dump trucks made in 1:17 scale require less parts and can look good.
  14. From profile that bucket looks very good. From front not, because it is wide as whole excavator.
  15. I'd rebuild fifth wheel, because now it is strong as that connection between grey and black connectors. 2L axle has chances to slip from the one of them.
  16. This model looks weird, because it does not resemble dimensions of real EW180. Also, change this bucket to something else, because third party parts are not allowed in the contest.
  17. It was designed to be used by kids. So, you know...
  18. Why feets of the outriggers are placed so low? Have you considered using small LAs, and having better ground clearance?
  19. And this statement was worth starting another topic?
  20. Except two 1x6 tiles with VOLVO text and sticker for the seat :) I have also finished this model and placing all the hoses inside the frame was a bit difficult, becuase they are longer than needed and that additional length (x6) had to be squeezed somewhere. Two Volvos on two pictures:
