    Hi Guys, been a while! Just thought I would drop a quick line letting anyone know that instructions are available for my GTHO, only 4.5 years after I first started building! hahaha. I have received a lot of enquirers about the instructions and its those people that keep me at it, through to completion. Please check out Rebrickable. :) Now I can finally start on something new! YAY ;P

    Could someone be so kind to summarize the last 38 pages of this topic to update on what we know. (pretty please) I'm quite impressed with the first pics! The new panels look awesome! Also I have a 3rd party solution for slack new hubs if anyone is interested I could make a topic. :) (I assume these are 42000 hubs) :)

    Good job! Having looked at pics on google, I think the nose needs to be a little bit sloped down. But this is no easy task, as it is a very curvy truck. Well done for sticking with it for 5 months!

    This is really cool! I like it a lot. Awesome how even the turning of the figures kinda sounds scary, unless you added sound effects? I'm impressed with the use of the fog machine too! I shall have to learn how to do that. Great job

    Thanks Jim! I should have time to make a really good video too, its been a while since I have done one!
  10. Doc_Brown
    WOW that looks really cool, I'm loving all those cables!

    Hey, when I purchased mine from bricklink, they were very pricy compared to the rest, but were certainly worth it! They were near perfect condition with just a bit of dust. I'm hoping that bricklink shop owners are trustworthy with their descriptions, and my advice would be just go with your gut feeling.

    Quick update, probably the last for WIP. :D I'm very impressed with how straight the main boom is, only drops half a stud over 1.5 meter span! And haven't finished squaring it yet. This is the container that will be used. Its dimensions are near perfect! The mechanism will be opened by a small pneumatic cylinder and a rubber band will pull it closed, so even in pressure fails it won't drop the container!

    Ahh yes I see what you mean! Yes I will be doing that, and suspending some lines to keep it straight under load. Yes my poor fingers! 8 hours of building like that really does hurt. HAHA, I wish! I'm actually borrowing most of it. LOL. I will try a tower crane again after this one, hopefully that one wont be such a failure! Thanks man!
  14. Doc_Brown
    Not sure what you mean? :) I will try to put some diagonals in, unlike the yellow crane above. That should help with structure, it is starting to wobble a bit. I'll see how much it weighs so far tmr. :D I'll have to use a lot of BB for counter weight as that is the only thing that is legal yeah?

    Thank you very much! I doubt it will win any beauty contests tho! It is very very strong tho, with a span of the main legs about a meter long requires significant force to bend, like 10-15kg easy. In hindsight I should have built the main boom like this and used the frame work for the legs, oh well. Here's where im upto now. These are the rails the cab will run on.

    Thanks, here is some WIP. Crappy pics I know. :/

    Happy Back to the Future day! Had to get that in! For my entry into TC8 I will be making a Dock Container crane like the image below, but will do my own thing where needed to save time, and using what parts I have available. I will confess there is a lot I don't know about cranes and hoping I don't come into trouble. This will be my first sbrick model too, so should fun! WIP pics will be up in few hours after I have made some more progress on the boom part which is about 1.5 meters long. I'm not sure how I will make the grabbing thing yet either! haha. I'm hoping pneumatic as I wont have enough PF cables to extend down. Any questions please feel free to ask!
  18. Doc_Brown
    ooooh. :D Does the new pneumatic help a lot?
  19. Doc_Brown
    WOW, that is pretty epic! I'm not the biggest fans of cranes, but dammm.
  20. Doc_Brown
    sorry i don't have the 8 teeth universal joint, and I'm not a big fan of printed plastic. (tends to break very quickly :/ ) Also I believe that your design won't work as the diff will separate from the driving gear. The diff has to be inside a 5x7 frame.

    ImanolBB's Axle? Yes. The actual AMV, I finished ages ago. :D
  22. Doc_Brown
    Thanks for sharing that! It looks pretty cool, I might have time tmr to build it and test it out. Would you mind sharing the file? :)

    If these were real M.A.S.K toys I would buy Jono's truck in a heart beat, soooo many functions! So awesome. 15: 10 10 :6 18: 4 16: 3 9: 2 1: 1 Good luck to all!

    Unfortunately I now have a social life! So Lego has been shelved, literally! HOWEVER! I just got some orders so may have a Building weekend. Thanks for the interest tho. haha. I made that case from an old 9v batter box. By cutting it and gluing it back together! haha.
