Changed to friction pins on the cross arms Changed to axles for the top and bottom Added some extra bracing Changed to a large LA so had to modify the base to support this. -
PF test went well tonight, still not as stable as I would like but it is getting better.
-
Hard when we are all so spread out and have different building styles.
-
Thanks for the suggestions. Once I test it with PF I will know if it needs more work.
-
I have spent a few hours on it tonight, had to change to large LA and rebuild most of it but now it is much better. Next step is to add PF :)
-
Thank you. I hope to get a chance to work on it in the next few days.
-
Excellent suggestions. I like the ute and trailer idea.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, I hope to get working on it in the next few days.

I hope we do get a "good" fire truck very soon :)

I am in the process of building a scissor lift (http://www.coateshire.com.au/access-hire/scissor-lifts-hire/scissor-lift-electric-hire/). So far this is what I have built. Now this works well but it is VERY unstable when extended to the maximum with a lot of side to side movement at the top, even when the base is held solid. Other than making the whole thing lower or "double beaming", can anybody offer a way to reduce the movement at the top?

Thanks for the suggestion ;) I have only noticed it with the loading conveyor.

Survey - LEGO - Time, Money and Space
Paul B Technic replied to Paul B Technic's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Thanks for the replies. Yes I will be publishing the results. I decided to keep everybody in the same. -
Funny you say that, I ran in to the issue of needing to shut down the M-motor while building / testing the loading conveyor, I thought I had killed it at one point, I am tempted to "upgrade" to the L-motor and see what difference it makes.

Reading various forums and groups it seems that most people are limited in their involvement in the LEGO hobby by "Time, Money and Space" or a combination of all three. I have created a very simple three question survey to see what the "normal" is for each of these and how different people's situations compare. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QYD555W

I love the level of detail in this. -
Unimog Attachment - Field Plough I have recently completed my latest Unimog attachment, this is a field plough. I recently saw one of these in use behind a tractor and thought it would make a good attachment to go behind my Unimog. Over a few hours the last two nights I have built this. The building process was fairly easy and enjoyable except for trying to get the "lift and tilt" mechanism to work how I wanted, this was to both tilt the plough up and lift it. I am happy with the end result as can be seen in the photos and video below.

Excellent work with this :)

Me and My Building Desk - March 2016 After the very poor photo I posted above yesterday, last night I got out the dSLR and took some "better" ones.

Excellent idea :)

Just take my money....

I really like that, a great level of detail. -

Unimog Attachment - Loading Conveyor I would like to present my latest Unimog attachment, this is a loading conveyor. While I have not been able to find any "real" Unimogs with this attachment I thought it was a good idea. As it moves continuously it would also make a good display at a Brixhibition in the future.
