[TC22] Mining Truck
Maaboo the Witch replied to Jayden's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm aware of that set. I own it, in fact. No, I was actually referring to haul trucks. You know, CAT 785 and the like. -
[TC22] Mining Truck
Maaboo the Witch replied to Jayden's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Makes me wish we'd had a mining truck set with these tyres. -
I was thinking of doing one of these the other day. Perhaps not for the contest though. I had the Wolf Wz45-17 in mind.
-
Very environmentally conscious! Quite impressive. But yeah, back to the contest!
-
Lucky you! Unfortunately it's TLG-exclusive here in the UK.
-
Yeah, fair enough.
-
Those are very unusual circumstances though.
-
I see your point, but you won't find a feller-buncher on your local building site.
-
As far as I know, this set is exclusive to TLG, so that might not be an option.
-
That is a valid point.
-
Case, New Holland, Komatsu, Hidromek and Caterpillar also do equal-wheeled models, so there's plenty of precedent.

[TC22] Lime grader
Maaboo the Witch replied to Jurss's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
When I saw "lime" I thought this was a grader used in limestone extraction. -
Could call it "Grævling", considering it's Danish. Or you could just stick with "Badger" since it looks like the Czech word for excavator, "Bager".
-
Looks cool! Excited to see where this goes.
-
That to me is a bit of an odd move. Yes, there are construction vehicles that can be used in forestry, but more specialized vehicles such as tree harvesters and skidders don't really have any construction utility. But you have the final say, Jim. Just adding my thoughts.
-
I personally wouldn't say so.
-
It'd be great if this 🐕 had a fictional brand similar to the Fuchs logo, but with a different animal like "Badger" or "Squirrel" or something.
-
You'd need extra wheels. Unless of course you were thinking of making the tractor unit 4x4?
-
Who exactly are you addressing here?
-
The Monster Jam sets are indeed fun building experiences! Because each truck is uniquely shaped and styled, no two sets are alike and every set uses different techniques and parts. I personally am looking forward to how long TLG runs with this license. Hopefully it'll be a while.
-
Wonder if this 🐕 is gonna have any fictional branding.
-
@Maekkes, here's my opinion - WOWSERS! Brilliant job on all three - the Zunhammer slurry injector is my fave!
-
No. The tracks are shaped differently and spaced way wider.
-
Good job! It looks a bit more focused than the 6x6.
