Paul B Technic

Update: 18/04/2022. Over the past few days, I have had a little bit of time to work on this.

This is well done, I love the level of detail you have in this.

You have some really nice progress with this.

Well done and thanks for sharing this, it looks great and has some well designed features.

That is really nice and well built.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have any PF so it will all be manual control.

I often see these types of equipment on construction sites. I am planning a bit of a merge between all of them. My Ideas My Design and Build Progress

Nice work with this so far.

This is amazing.

Really, that is really disappointing....

You have made a great start with this.

Well done, a great start.

Very nicely done :)

As soon as my local store has these, I will be grabbing one. (I have a gift voucher so need to buy it from them).

I am really keen to be part of this. Does a minimum size apply?

Practice... In what way do you think you are bad?

I love this, really well done :)

I am big fan of this, it was a fun building experience.

This is great, I am just starting to read it :)

These are really amazing, such a high level of detail.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I was very limited with parts so did the best I could. I am thinking of pulling it down and trying something else.

I have recently been working on building a custom C model, using only the parts from LEGO Technic set 42133. I have designed and built a farm tractor with a rear plough. This features hand of god steering and the rear plough can be raised and lowered via the gear under the seat. Only a small number of parts were left over and given the limited number of parts of this set, I am fairly happy with this build. https://tangerstechnic.blogspot.com/2022/03/lego-technic-42133-c-model-farm-tractor.html

I have owned a few of the different pull back sets in the past, this one has the best looks out of all the ones I have owned. The level of detail in the teeth is great.

Things I like: - Fun design. - Enjoyable building process. - Pull back function. Things I don't like: - Limited functions, no opening doors or anything excpet for the pull back motor. Rating: 4/5 - It is fun but has only one function, the pull back motor. Photos: https://tangerstechnic.blogspot.com/2022/03/lego-technic-42134-monster-jam.html

MOC: 42139 Attachment - Field Plough I have recently been working on creating another attachment for LEGO Technic set 42139 (Technic All-Terrain Vehicle). This is a field plough. This attaches to the rear of 42139 using a mount I have added. This can easily be lifted on and off. The lifting of the plough itself is controlled via the leaver on the side.
