Another day, another idea for contest. There's a toy: And real one work like this: And I decided to use it as a model for LUGPol contest (total amount of 1000 parts). Tractor has 4 pneumatic functions, which are: claw, crane arm rising, crane arm extending, and rear blade lowering. And three manual functions: winch, rotating the crane and front wheel steering + working fake R4 engine: The trailer is rather, simple, becuase most of the parts were used for the tractor, but it has pendualar suspenion: Everything works like this: I have made instructions for it, separate files for tractor and trailer: - Tractor - - Trailer - Parts list on Rebrickable (for both models): http://rebrickable.c...or-with-trailer Sugestions about instructions are welcome.

You are aware that it's not a motorcycle?

If anyone is still interested in building it, I have added this MOC to Rebrickable: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/M_longer/kids-tricycle

Hi. I have very annoying problem with pneumatic hoses made in LSynth. After synth, I saved the file and it became problematic for LDview to load. I have checked its size and it is 4Mb. A line with "unknown" part has duplicated several thousand(!) times inside the file. Someone had similiar problem? Is there a way to fix it? It appears to be random bug, because other hoses I have made have typical, few kb size.

Well, there's also this little thing:

I will laugh with him, may I? I was curious how this model will end, because now there are parts that were unavailable when I was building my R944C, like smal LAs. It is sometimes difficult to build same detail in different way, but I am sure that in overal Thor's model is not a copy of mine R944C.

Long time ago I have acquired front wheel from 8420 set: And it was left unused for many months, in the meantime I even found a good reason to use it: But I was too lazy to build it. But there's a contest currently going on LUGPol, about building models that are built like Technic sets (which meant big problems for me, becuase I do not know how to build with panels ;) ). First category, up to 200 elements (my trike has 165). It was a good occasion to pull out my never used panels from 8258 I am spending lot of time lately learning how to use MLCad and LPub, so I decided to test my skills, and I have made instructions for it. Picture is a link to PDF from my Bricksafe account. There's no wheel from 8420 in LDraw parts, so I have used more recent one wheel. Also, any suggestions about that instruction are welcome :)

It's still under construction ;)

Oh I am working in MLCad at least for a month now, and I am discovering new options. I have a model that was built for a contest on LUGPol (Technic model that looks like set, and have 1000 parts in total), and I have made instructions for it. Only thing that is missing are pneumatic tubes, which are problematic, becuase my PC slows down after adding another synthed parts :( http://bricksafe.com.../Forest Tractor

It seems that I have much to learn :)

I am always amazed when I see your instructions. Is it really possible to do with MLCad and LPub only?

Maybe because black one has a cutout? Can you post a image?

Volvo FMX. It will look good in pair with my Volvo loader :) Also, I am rebuilding MAN TGS to rear tipping version right now. It seems that I will relase instructions for it and low loader in the same time.

For those who were curious about the instructions for low loader; I am in the middle of work, whole frame is almost done, things that are left to do are ramps and deck. Trailer is designed for hauling heavy models like my loaders. I have all files divided into submodels, I am working simultaneously on instructions for this trailer and on a new truck :)

Why did you used cluth gear in the drivetrain?

And you really think that it will fly? How much does it weights now, 2kg?

Metallic Silver.

Uhm, it depends on type of machine you want to build. I build trucks and heavy machinery, and I have started with Racers and Creator sets like these ones: And red parts ended here: Almost all my models needed BL orders, but having parts from Racers/Creator sets makes building them easier.

SilenWin has made his own copy in red. Red parts for the tracks are from Mindstorms EV3 Expansion set: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=14149

There's a reason why designers have put L motor in the Crawler. When it hits wall, motors stop. XL would grind the gears.

I don't like any of TLC minifig scale cranes. Maybe except the 7632, because thanks to it I could built my LG 1750 crane.

You have put a lot of effort on making those cars and track, so why you did not build your own crane, but used that from 60026?

Am I the only one who thinks that panels from 42035 could be used in future, in large scale tow truck as side panels?

Radio controled mixer with bowl?

You are aware that those cylinders are made of syringes? Hydraulicaly operated cylinders will always work more smoothly, because they use medium that is less squishable than air. And I don't like idea of using non-LEGO parts where official parts can be used.
