  1. My gues is new block and new piston, that will work with this: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4368&idColor=86#T=C&C=86 But price higher than Merc (10€ more) for 300 pieces less is a bad joke.
  2. What can be done with 18 wheels except mobile crane? This: Hooklift truck, based on M1120 HEMTT LHS, cargo trailer, telehandler and two platforms with a lot of cargo. And all of that using almost 90% of parts from the set. Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-201507/M_longer/60409-cargo-team/#details Video: More pictures: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/minifig/60409-cargo Truck uses 8 large wheels and two small as spare tire. Featuring working hooklift arm: That can be turned into dump truck with locking the arm with a tile: Both cargo platforms are interchangeable, allowing to be lifted from ground and trailer. Platform allows to put heavier load, which can be picked up by telehandler. Speaking about the trailer - simple, but sturdy model, that can be pulled by truck and telehandler. Trailer was built to work with the hooklift, allowing to slide the container from truck onto it: Fully loaded: The last part of the Cargo Team, Telehandler: Featuring arm elevation & extension + tiltable forks, with front outriggers: It can be transported on the platform too, it just needs one of the cargo pieces to be placed on it: Both cabs can be opened, to place the minifigs inside: Instructions are divided into 4 books, to try some different approach this time :)
  3. Impressive for first MOC, but it looks too narrow?
  4. 8043 was released a bit too early - with 4 L motors instead of 4 M motors it would be the most awesome remote control set ever.
  5. Do not even start. Every licensed set is wrongy built when compared to real car.
  6. No double wheels on rear axles?
  7. This one had doubles too: https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=571094
  8. Nobody mentioned it, because nobody seen it ;) I'm wondering if it will skip under heavy load though.
  9. It's all about the play in the finished model. 42054 used Bue axle pins to get away from that slack in each wheel.
  10. I believe that whole recolour quota for Technic was taken by 42154 then
  11. I'm selling instructions for years at Rebrickable, and it does not matter if you will ask 1€ or 100€, if thieves would see potential in selling your model, it will be just bought from you.
  12. I'm going to look at how this attempt on looking for customers will end. Because I have never seen someone who says that will make instructions, if there will be enough potential customers and not showing the model fully working.
  13. Any chances for video showing the functions?
  14. 1:8 cars were not made to show functions. You'd need to strip half of the bodywork to show how it all works.
  15. One more thing - paid instructions sales had its peak trough Covid times. Sales dropped significantly after.
  16. What kind of license costs are behind these? 42203 (462 pcs | $49.99) 42204 (810 pcs. | $59.99) Only 10$ more for 350 pieces more?
  17. Said by guy who is a MOC-making God for me. Rrrrright. I have started in 2007, drooling over your Brickshelf gallery :D Mostly by this I have tried to make C models:
  18. Why are you so interested in someone's money?
  19. I just share my opinion about complaints from a perspective of someone, who sell instructions for years. And there were A LOT of people nagging for free instructions in past years. See, some people think that everything related to LEGO should be free. Just because "it's LEGO and I'm a fan of LEGO". Sorry, my bills are not for free. And? I have even been said (ONCE), that I should release all my instructions for free (hundreds of hours of work spent on them) and rely only on voluntary donations. And that was the dumbest ideaI have ever heard :) Main idea behind making paid instructions; If you have paid 200€ for a set, spending additional 10-15€ on completely new and different model is a fair deal. No additional bricks, no addtional effort. Just few % of price you have already paid for bricks for 100% new building experience. So what would you build then? Those low quality ones? :)
  20. As always, you can mae anything else from the set, these are just same bricks, just used in different places ;)
  21. Not a single one of my MOCs fall into this category. See, I'm making things that people like ;)
