  1. Welcome! Good luck with your ship!
  2. Great ships, I like your avatar! Welcome!
  3. I hope you will get strength into the hands back, and that bricks will bring you lots of fun!
  4. Outriggers are removable. Those "square boxes with cross inside" at very back and at first third of the vehicle are outriggers mounting points. On the picture you provided in first post, outriggers are taken off. For the boom, I was planned to make it removable. Its pretty simple, the boom is removable and operated as simple as cranes of today use lattice extension. Lattice boom also has to be manually prepared and cables has to be mounted.
  5. Here is how real one looks like in travel mode: Well, few years back I had lots of pictures of this vehicle and lots of solutions in my head. Cant remember what was my idea for the boom. I know it could be taken off.
  6. 9/2 was my wish-project, too. but later opted for Zis halftrack. Go ahead, I would really love to see how it would look bricked! As I remember, the book is detached from the body.

    Hallo

    Welcome! Have fun building modulars and helping your boyfriend! My girl is also helping me. We took apart, spray, and then build again the rose I made for her :) Not much of her side, but we did it together :)
  8. Welcome! Have fun!
  9. Thats a long time to be in the hobby! Congrats! Welcome!
  10. Welcome to EB!
  11. Welcome and have fun!
  12. If the car will be driven only on solid, flat surface, then its ok. But if you want it to be able to go over a small bump or to drive over carpet, central diff oculd be a problem (it will stuck a car if only one wheel is off the ground)
  13. Not the most practical drilling crawler, due to radar dish and laser turret on the roof and two drills instead of one, but hey, it looks cool :) Those trans green colors are my favorite, since the MTrons :) Glad to see them today on this crawler. Front view with lights on is great!
  14. I would not use driving rings. They tend to force themselves out of clutch gear under torque, and are hard to keep them there. Make your own gearbox with double bevel gears- 1:1 and 12:20.They will withstand XL motors in any occasion. Just brace them at both sides.
  15. Unique! I like this. And the fact that it is construction machine, I like it even more :)
  16. Kroes, it works just fine. Lots of people (myself included) use 1.2V rechargeable batteries, as they are more practical, efficient and cheaper on long run.
  17. I say it is perfectly fine. I used that part configuration in my halftrack and some older mocs. Worked perfectly.
  18. I like almost everything on this moc! The look, the color, the sound...all are great. Those angles on the hull must have taken a lot of time to design. Even though I like the dishes used on chassis-tracks, they have thin connection point and therefore tend to lean under load, which is unfortunately noticeable on your tank, too. But they look really nice, so it is a good compromise!
  19. Wow. Great first moc since you were wee lad! :) Great work. I like the how you used the same color everywhere on top and black on chassis. It suits it. Maybe it would be better if the video was shorter (5min max)
  20. Zblj: The wheel + tire combination is most likely two merry Fabuland pieces No 4750 : http://www.bricklink.com/PL/4750.gif and between them is regular 40T gear. I tried that before and got the same shape like this on this tractor. Original idea is by iipsa
  21. Main reason for using crawler crane over mobile is cheaper rental rates for longer (bigger) operations-projects. The ability to drive with load is over exaggerated. Conditions must be perfect, boom must be locked dead straight-front, surface must be very flat, strong and clean (or special surface mats must be used), no winds...
  22. What do you think about this? The alternative pneumatic tube can be a solution? Even in a desperate moment the non-Lego parts are not allowed? 1. I have no problem with pneumatic tubing. I love them. 2. Debatable. Full-time purists will protest, for sure. I am purist, but I think it is okay. 3. I would never use non-LEGO parts, even in desperate times.
  23. I will provide second opinion. I used this technique with two 14 teeth slim gears, and it is great for (very) low torque jobs. Great because it can be built in unusual fashion and can be placed where ordinary gears cant. Trick is to place them head-to-head. Con is that such setup does not have full bracing support in surrounding elements. I am curious to see what will author of the car say about them, too.
