Iveco Daily 4x4:

You have linked to movie showing an autovalve with compresor. And your question was about compressor without valves. So? What exactly are you looking for?

Thank you :) Please note that making such models would be difficult without studless parts. For example, this winch from TGS tow truck: It probably could be build with using only "old" parts, that 9v system likes so much, but it will be much bulkier and weaker. Liftarms and connectors, widely used in Technic sets in past few years, allows to make things smaller and stronger. On the other hand, I do not like exterior "shells" made from technic parts only, so I use those "old" parts, that were used in Technic sets in past, like technic bricks and plates, because it allows me to connect studfull body (well, at first look is also studless, because I use tiles in large quantities) to studless frames. Both, liftarms and technic bricks have pros and cons, but it depends on where you want to use them. My last model, that was built for the TGS dump truck, is a drawbar trailer, designed to be able to haul heavy models. Its frame is almost completely made from technic bricks and technic frames (with studs) for maximum possible ridigity. Frame made from studless parts bent under the load. And that combination works perfectly for me.

Your model can be built after watching that movie. It is simple and small, so it will not be a problem without instructions.

5893.

More? It has: - steering - suspension on both axles (rear dragged axle with shock absorbers) - front winch with windup motor (which is also brilliantly designed, because it is operated by pushing bull bar in front) - openable doors, bonnet, and rear door - all packed into realistic looking model, which can be rebuild into two other models within single set (yes, I know that you can build anything from bricks, but there are instructions for three models in each Creator set) So tell me, what else would you expect from Model Team 2.0?

Let's see... Like this?

TLG will not return to using technic bricks. They will be used where there's no other option (for example, in City/Action Themes). And in some specific places in Technic models (like boom from 42009). But you can build your own models with using Technic bricks only...

Yes. I did not liked side tipping. Whole truck is completely rebuilt. Chassis has 3 motors, XL for drive, Servo for steering and L for raising the tipper bed, just like the first version, but it's the only thing that these two have in common. Cab has now interior, with seats, steering wheel and a dashboard. In overall, I've added more small details, like third steps under the cab, Four axle trailer mentioned before also have instructions, almost finished:

I am really curious about how it will look. Post some images and a movie with finished steering module.

Ok, now tell me, how are you going to connect steering motor to it?

Even when it will reach 10k votes, it will not pass the review stage. Why? Because there will be a Creator F40 released in this year.

Hi, wrong forum.

Yes, but I can't say when. I have a lot things to do lately and playing with bricks is not one of them :(

I am using MLCad and LPub. And no, there are no instructions for the Volvo, because I don't have time to play with any real or virtual bricks lately.

Oh they DO exist :) Nissan Navara or Mitsubishi L200:

Tell me one thing: What is the point of using linear actuators as a fake cylinders? You are using same mechanism like in 8275, so I don't see sense in using those parts.

Aha... Or you can just simple connect two cylinders with Technic liftarms: Or 2x2 tiles: It looks simplier, but maybe I am wrong and cutting pieces is a better solution.

I have an advice for you: Build a large, working model, spend many (by many I think about at least 80-90 hours, yes, it could take even more time) hours on making LDraw files, steps, LPub formating, make sure that instructions does not have errors (like I am doing right now with TGS frame, which basically means building whole model from scratch with instructions). Think about all your work, all hours spend on it. Consider selling them for few dollars, as compensation for all these hours you could spend on building something new. And then publish all your work for free if you wish.

No, I am in the middle of other project, which took lot of more time than I planned.

Uhm, no. What's the point of building from LEGO then? Where's the challenge of using limited amount of shapes?

Move lights to bumper, where they should be. And put on their place round bricks as air filters.

Grey = soft Yellow = hard?

No problem, have fun :) All green parts come from 42008 set.
