  1. i did not include pictures of the stabilizers diploid here we go and some with the boom folding up the other thing that i felt was lacking was the fact that the super structure has to be rotated by hand would have been nice but there is the room for improvement
  2. Just dragged out the trusty tape. To the the light at the end of the boom we get 63 cm
  3. Hey thanks Kisper Really good review ! I juz started technic a year ago and being a construction fan, my first was the 42009. Then I came to know that it had 2 previous precursors and when I wanted to get my hands on them, the prices didn't allow me to. So I'll juz have to settle for photos of them :) Quote 8421 was a bit expensive but I had to have it. I only have one issue with the set, the power cable did not connect very well to the battery box or motor. For the members that do have this set is it the same with yours or have I just got a faulty cable
  4. hello every body! i have recently acquired a used copy of the legendary 8421. For the people that dont know this set was released in 2005 and has 1884 pieces. I have decided to to the B model. if you want to see the review of the a model you can find it here (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=73768) posted by Lost_In_Noise First you need to build the truck for loss of a better word. Which is the same for the A or B models Here you can see the build options you have with this manual. To do the b model you turn to page 97. After 10 pages it looks like this So i have connected the turn table and the pneumatic cylinders After 10 or so more pages it looks like this I have added the pneumatic switch, two clutch gears one twenty tooth bevel gear. one twelve tooth bevel, two twenty tooth double bevel gears and one 24 tooth gear and the buggy motor Now the other half of the boom has been made. This part of the boom extends the basket out. To do that you need to add the 32 axle Five gear racks one twelve tooth bevel, two eight tooth gears, one twenty tooth gear and a worm gear Next you connect the two half`s together now that`s done last step is to add the basket All done in the next pic you can see what you are left with Here a a few pic of the completed model hey i can see for miles from up here! thank you for taking the time for my review. if i have left any thing out please comment dougstar

  6. your truck looks good! the mods you made makes me want to build the 9397. iv only built the b model
  7. well thats not true coz we all have cloud storage or drop box so should have that sorted.i would be grabbing sets first priority's priority's !
  8. If the house was ablaze and rushed in to grab my 3 ultimate, top on the list 8043 8258 8110 Still sad though about the ones that got left behind... The insurance guy has loads of questions ;)
  9. Hey I think it would make a rocking moc. I just built you hot rod it is a real fun build. Would definitely build more of yours
  10. it is perfect the open space is just like the 8448. and im sure most people would have to say that is a classic. as im sure your LAMBO will be as well. id offer my help with LDraw but i would know where to even start
  11. Now we have to all get a chance to build this beast of a LAMBO! are instruction for this master piece going to be available?
  12. nice lambo! are you using pneumatic hoses instead of soft axles?
  13. Wow doc super cool! like the door setup. Please those extra specs
  14. This quite a good 9398 xl motor mod hope this helps Doug
  15. Your moc has been loaded onto rebrickable
  16. Haha I'll have to check the parts list when it is made public Haha @darksheep I'll have to check the parts list when it is made public
  17. it looks like a winner and i cant wait to build your moc
  18. i bought it just for the panels what a joy
  19. hello flashtom not exactly sure why its not centered. im going to take a guess that your shocks have not been put on both the same way. check in book two were the shocks attach to the front of the chassis page 71 step 97. hope this helps, it may help with a few more pics doug
  20. I also have both set 42000 is huge model. Wheels and tires are also great. Nathaniel made instructions for 42000c steet rod which is a fantastic moc, so 42000 is a good option. 42029 has just been released so I would get 42000 first.
