Milan

Sorry, but not allowed, since it was shown before. On this case on Eurobricks.

Sure! White would be cool! And you cant go wrong with Liebherr :) Also, please note that the model does not have to be motorized, if that is the reason you are talking about gearbox.

YES if the trailer has a hoisting as a main function! Like this: The trailer can't be used for other purposes (like transport loads or cargo). Great fit!

Thanks. WIll give my best! As Jim said, tow truck is not allowed, but I cant wait to see what will be on that drawing board! Hopefully something in class of your latest Truck

TECHNIC CRANE CONTEST Cranes and LEGO Technic, a match made in heaven. Recently LEGO has released a brand new Mobile Crane, so we are wondering; can you do better. Are you ready to take your skills to a higher level?! (this pun...really?!) DESCRIPTION Build a Technic Crane! Each entry has to be crane, and main purpose of the crane/vehicle/MOC should be hoisting/lifting. The entry must be a crane and not contain a crane. A truck with a bed/fifth wheel and crane arm on the back/behind the cab is not a crane, it contains a crane and truck serves other functions (not allowed). A truck with just a big crane at the back is allowed, since its main function is to lift/hoist and not to transport/pull (allowed) A harbor crane is a crane (allowed). A tower crane is a crane (allowed). A GUEST HOST Since I (Jim) will be away for a couple of weeks (don't screw around, I will find out ) I have asked Milan to host this contest. I have been contemplating a Crane contest in the past and he came up with the idea too, so this was an easy choice for us. I will be online every now and then, but Milan will be hosting this contest. I will arrange the voting and calculate scores as usual, but if you have any questions regarding the rules, Milan is in charge. He has been answering your questions in the past, so he knows what a contest is all about. Disclaimer: He said yes to my request on one condition: he will still be able to participate in the contest. I agreed. If you think this is not fair, remember that contests are for fun. DEADLINE The allotted time for this contest is around 7 weeks. This means you can build up to the 1st of November. Deadline date is November 1th, 2015. Contest will be closed on Monday the 2nd OR LATER. Disclaimer: I will close the contest when I see fit and when I have the time to process the results. This can be later than the deadline date. Please don't complain about this not being fair and all. RULES AND REGULATIONS The following section describes the contest specific and general rules and regulations. But before that, please take notice of a simple motto regarding the Eurobricks Contests: CONTESTS ARE FOR FUN! Of course there's competition, but at the end of the day, LEGO is just a hobby and the main goal for each of us is to have fun! CONTEST SPECIFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS Each crane needs to be some sort of actual type crane, but it doesn't need to be a copy of an existing one, Each crane needs to have a name or represent a brand, make, model. If you are not building a crane after a real one, make up the name, too. No fantasy cranes, like under water or space cranes The main purpose of the crane needs to be hoisting/lifting (a truck like 8258 is NOT allowed) WIP topics may be created 2 weeks after the beginning of the contest WIP topics should have actual plan or progress presented, and should not be used as a "Idea reservation" Pneumatics are permitted LEDs are permitted 3rd party strings, hoses and rubber bands are permitted Electronics (PF elements, SBricks and Mindstorms) are permitted but not mandatory No size limit No part count limit GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS The contest is open to all EB members (also new members). Members who joined EB after the start of the contest can be banned from voting (when vote rigging is suspected). Voting rules will be explained later in the voting topic. One entry per member. Entries need to be new (never posted anywhere previously or shown at an event/LUG meeting). Only physical builds, so no LDD or other virtual entry. If you have any doubts about the suitability of your entry contact me, or Milan. All entries are to include only real LEGO. No clone brands, 3rd party parts, or digital entries allowed. No cutting, sculpting or modifying parts. Entries are to be placed in the entry topic in this forum. Entries not in the entry topic are not eligible for voting. The entry post may be edited at any time up to the end of the contest, so feel free to make improvements if you wish. The contest might be closed later than the deadline. Don't complain about this not being fair. You have enough time to build. Don't ask for more time. We reserve the right to disqualify any entry that does not follow these rules. These rules can be changed whenever we see fit to ensure that people follow the intent of the contest. Staff members are not eligible for winning prizes. WHAT DO I NEED TO ENTER? All participant need to create a discussion topic and create a post in the entry topic. DISCUSSION TOPIC A discussion topic starting with [TC8]. ENTRY POST The entry post in the entry topic should contain: Entry name Short summary of the functions. One or more images Video (mandatory) Link to the discussion topic PRIZES At this time we are not sure whether there will be prizes. You will find out at some point if there are prizes, or not. Top-3 winners will obviously deserve the medal and attention. If the contest winner is willing to drive to a location in The Netherlands, I can probably arrange for a tour on an actual Liebherr tower crane (see contest image)

Welcome to EB!

I like this model so much, i think this is one of your best builds! Great and realistic driving video, i just love how the body tilted on the side when you were driving it in circles. Two questions, as i did use knob gears so far only twice: 1. What would happen if you lubricate the knob gears? Would squiky noise gone, and maybe even prolonge their life? 2. Would you use regural bewel gears instead, now that you know that you are not pleased with knobs?

Welcome to Eurobricks!

Hey Maria, have fun!

So nice of you and Blakbird to release free instruction.

Make a LTF crane on the back.

Someone else noticed they smell weirdly, so it is not just your tubes.

Simple, but very effective - perfect result. That number really gives a life to the car! Awesome!

Welcome!

Welcome and have fun browsing!

Welcome, one of the many French here :)

Welcome to the forums!

In this case, it is Vengit. There is a link on the first page.

Meh, nothing special. :) Wow! I think this is in class with the Fox! Awesome work with the chassis.

Nice one! Well done everybody!

Oh and sorry for not saying earlier: Beautiful model :)
