    You should have figured that out a long time ago :)

    It looks sturdy enough. Size was the biggest challenge here, I guess. Well done.
  3. Milan
    What are those black and yellow buckets?
  4. Milan
    True. Scale is 1 to 13, so it was pretty big with that boom on top of the cab. Most surprising part for me was the enormous weight. Motors, supporting structure inside and three section boom really add to it.

    There are few on BS. Some are motorized.

    Write just name of the MOC, picture and a link to a video.

    I have broken quite a few gears inside the diff in a setup smilar to yours.
  8. Milan
    Not good, one gear inside the diff is going to brake. Unless you put massive reduction stages after the diff, but the vehilce would be very slow and unusable.

    Perfect. Or: make plain and simple instructions (good photo-sequence, with needed parts sorted beside model for each step and on each picture, is fine) which would be free, and easy to do. and HQ instructions in PDF, which you can sell, for those who want HQ. But IMO it is important to leave the choice for the people. If everybody could do this, no one could say that he spent 100+ hours on HQ instructions and that he wants to be payed for that.

    I have never built an official Technic set, nor bought someones instructions (and never will), and yet I consider myself able to make some MOCs. Check ApeFight's creations on Mocpages, he can build MOCs, too. Find something in real life you like, try to build it, try again, and again, and again...best way to learn it. You can always search for inspiration on BS or Flickr. You would also be much more proud on yourself for building it yourself, using your ideas and your unique approach, rather than paying someone else to do the hard (and most interesting, challenging and rewarding) work for you.

    It is both individual and country-dependent. Here, for example, lots of people has monthly salary of about 200$. Middle class are doing 2x or 3x better, but you get the picture...

    Kumbbl, mobile cranes luff their booms to end (top) position mainly because that position is where they have max lifting power, regarding stability and bending. However, they can operate at any angle, some can even lower their boom under superstructure level. Pneumatics are obviously not good choice here because under load, they will compress air and the entire boom could be prone to lower.

    Congratulations!

    How come you need to cut original tubes? I built both versions of the set few times and I did not have to cut tubes of the truck to make the B model. Most of the tubes are used by both models, you need to cut only very few tubes form leftovers from 8868.

    Alasdair, On the model, cylinders are placed inside, rather than on sides, mainly because LEGO cylinders are too wide in scale, compared to real ones. Also, the boom itself is a little bit wider than it should be. Boom+cylinders on side combo would be too wide.
  16. Milan
    Probably best LEGO hand

    Electroplating actually works: Only ABS parts can be chromed.
  18. Milan
    They are regular parts, coated. Some sellers provide the option that you send them parts you want to be chromed, they done it for you, and they send it back. It is very hard to do it yourself.

    Nice. Waiting for the video.

    1. Behind the cab of the carrier 2. About 72 studs, carrier 61 studs in length, 18 studs wide, not counting outriggers's pads, 25 studs height, 35 studs width with outriggers deployed. 3. Part of the mechanism that drives the outriggers 4. Boom itself is about 68 studs long, in transport position. 5. 18 studs between first and second axle, 9 studs between second and third axle. 6. Leadscrew is about 22 studs long. Not 100% accurate, but it is helpful until designer of the model comes.

    Mobile cranes are probably the best for flagships. Anyone recognize them, they are usually big, have great range of functions and are often seen in real life. Plus, Technic community seems to enjoys them pretty much.
  22. Milan
    They are low-res for everyone. Improved ones should be here soon. Wheels on the crane are probably 62.4 x 20 S.
  23. Milan
    Using LEGO parts, connecting them in a way that put a stress on them, forcing them to bend, twist or compress.
  24. Milan
    Unfortunately, she doesn't.

    Incredible blend of my favorites...Motorcycles and LEGO!
