It needs complete remodeling of whole front, to look less like an abandoned child of Corvette and Lotus.

And what about that McDonald's visit lately??

Uhm, I have stopped making instructions for Eric's models like three years ago?

Because 3 were needed.

Who knows...

Looks unfinished, and those tracks will not behave properly.

Like these?

I have finished design proces of alt build for this set, preparing it for disasembly and making a 3D model :) https://www.instagram.com/p/C-TQRCjOnc2/?img_index=1

167?

It's here, connector number 7!

Yes, mould injection points. And it hurts my eyes too.

Yes, working on bags 8-9 now. It seems that all fun moments are over, bag 7 was just a rear seat, bag 8 is single door.

I just opened my copy, there's P1 suspension arm :D Click to enlarge:

"A rudimentary implant" as would say Adam Smasher from Cyberpunk. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-186848/M_longer/60409-steering-mod/#details This is the first modification, which comes to mind after playing with 60409. As much as I love that set, picking up whole model to change its direction while driving was a flaw for me. So here's my modification; with additional 320 pieces carrier receives steering on 6 axles. The width of the carrier increased slightly - from 8 to 9 studs, but it looks like it should be done that way, with bodywork already being 9s wide: Keeping overal dimensions of the carrier intact (to have unmodified superstructure and boom sitting on it) was a challenge, especially with having 4 steered axles in a row. But I managed to make it, even with different steering angles! It's easy to spot which axles are not steered, they don't have visible Tan pins: Steering is controlled by t12 gear on the back: Look how it moves!

I decided to test rigidity of 60409 tuntable;

Small attachement for 60420 set. Can replace the bucket. Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-184954/M_longer/demolition-dinosaur/#details

Top right also, it's 60420 Excavator cylinders;

Front lower part with lights looks great. But whole cab is leaning to the back:

All March releases can be browsed trough Bricks and Pieces, yet only standard and widely avialble elements can be ordered. But their quantities are shown, for example, 42171 will have six 3x19 frames.

An alternate model for 42168 John Deere Forage Harvester Lifting mechanism based on this set (26 years ago, ouch) Featuring rear wheel steering; Fork elevation, achieved by knob on left side; Fork tilt, operated by lever on right side; I'm quite proud about shape of mudguards :) Model in action [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qawosrQwERM[/youtube] Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-170718/M_longer/42168-forklift/?spot=designer_mocs

I have rebuilt this a bit :) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-170718/M_longer/42168-forklift/?spot=designer_mocs

I made a quick recolour of 42161;

Noted, I'll resize them.
