Paul B Technic

I get this sometimes, to me anything is for sale for the right price :)

Nope, you need to host the images externally and link them back to a post on here.

I publish mine to my blog and then link them back to here.

This is an amazing build, well done.

I have just published some new photos of my LEGO room / display cabinet to my blog for anybody who would like to have a look at them: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/lego-room-display-cabinet-july-2014.html

What does it take to make it?

This only just over a week away :) https://www.facebook.com/events/903670722982644/?source=1

Thanks for the feedback, I am really happy with how it has worked out.

You have done a really good job with this, my dad used to sell these so I know a bit about them.

That is very cute, well done.

These are all very cool, thanks for sharing them :)

For those who design and build MOCs, a couple of questions: - Do you ever break down a MOC to reuse the pieces? - If so how long do you keep the MOC built? - How do you decide when / if to break down a MOC? I have built a few of late but am thinking of breaking some of them down to reuse the pieces.

Thanks for all the feedback. It is hard to make something that looks "good" with the colours from this set :( I am just about to add some more photos to my original post. I am planning on buying another copy and making the B model, has anybody done this as yet?

I love the high level of detail in this.

It is all a storm in a tea cup.

Recently I purchased a second copy of LEGO Technic set 42024. My original copy of this set had been used for parts / MOCing. When I purchased my second copy my plan was to just part it out and add the parts to my collection for building like I had done with my original copy. After thinking about it overnight I decided to instead see if I could create a C model using just the parts for this set. Following some research online I settled on designing and building something different from what I have seen built in the past, this is an asphalt paving machine, like those in the link below: https://www.google.c...fe=off&tbm=isch Due to the nature of the parts in this set I spent a lot of time planning the build to both use as many pieces from this set as possible and to try and keep the colour scheme consistent. The building process started with the chassis, this was scaled off the front tripper which would be built from the 5x11 panels for the bottom and sides. The chassis uses a tri frame design (see photos below) which allows me the room to run the functions and also gives it a good amount of strength. Once I had the width of the front section sorted I then started building backwards, adding the rear wheels which feature hand of god (HOG) steering. Next I built the chassis to the back and then filled in the body work on top of and around it, this took a lot of trial and error to get the angles correct with the limited pieces I had to use, a couple of times I was tempted to use parts from my collection however I resisted as this would make it not a true “C model”. I then added the control cabin with a seat and controls. I also built and added the front tipper section and this made it start to look like an asphalt paving machine. By this time I was starting to run very low on some parts so I added the bottom mounted levelling blade and the rear sealing deck, this meant stealing some pieces off the main body of the model to ensure I had a consistent colour scheme; those parts that don’t match have been hidden inside the body as much as possible. Finally I added some details like the front / rear / top lights and I used some of the left over parts to fill in some details and add the roof to the top of the cabin area. Features: - Hand of God (HOG) steering via the knob on the top of the body section. - Front tipper section lifts via the knob on the side of the body section. - Rear sealing deck lifts via knob on the rear. - Manual raising and lower of bottom mounted levelling blade - Side access panel opens to allow access to engine area Specs: Length: 37 cm Width: 18 cm Height: 19.5 cm Parts Used: Around 820 Total build time: Approx 15 hours Overall: This is the third custom C model I have designed and built in the past 18 months, so far it has been the most challenging and also the most enjoyable / rewarding once it was finished. The limited parts selection and colours meant some design changes were needed “on the fly” as I was building. I am very pleased with how well it has turned out and it fits in nicely to my ever expanding “civil services / construction” theme collection. I also think this is the first custom C model that has been designed and built using just the parts from LEGO Technic set 42024.

That is a cool little machine :)

I am so impressed with this that I have even featured it on my blog: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/docbrowns-amazing-1971-ford-falcon-xy.html

Thanks for the feedback, after I finish my latest MOC (not a Unimog attachment this time) I will go back and see what I can do to improve this :)

Yesterday was more MOC building.

Wow, this is amazing.

Why would they do this?

Excellent work on this, I look forward to buying it :)

I put my videos direct on my blog: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/
