Paul B Technic

I have just added a post to my blog on how I sort and store my parts collection with photos. http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/sorting-and-storing-parts-how-i-do-it.html

I have just updated my blog with some new photos and a video of this in action :) http://paulstechnic....-binlifter.html

Has anybody seen the new Technic sets in stores yet?

8043 is a much better set then 42009, don't do it :)

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I was not 100% sure about what to do about the front, i think it needs something so I will try and add a grill. I have plans for a video once I fix my tripod :)

Did you ask her for it and she got the wrong one or did she pick it herself?

Excellent work, I love this.

http://paulstechnic....-binlifter.html Following on from my last MOC which was a side lifting wheelie bin truck based on the B model of set 9395 (http://paulstechnic....-wheel-bin.html) I have now built another LEGO Technic rubbish truck, this time it is a MOC I designed and built from scratch, a rear loading rubbish truck with a bin lifter. This MOC is based on the type of rubbish trucks which I see in use here in Australia, it can be both loaded by hand manually or bins can be lifted using the lifter on the back. The bin used on this is the same as I used on my side lifting wheelie bin rubbish truck. I am planning on making this the standard bin I base my designs around. This MOC has a number of features, these include: - Fake V6 engine connected to one set of rear wheels via a diff. - Hand of God (HOG) steering via the red knob on the back of the cabin roof. - Opening cabin doors. - Two functions gear box which is controlled via the red leaver on the side of the truck. One function lifts and lowers the rear bin lifter. The second function is to raise and lower the rear body for emptying. Both of these are run via a large Power Functions motor which is mounted between the cabin and the rear body section in the chassis. Both these functions use LA's, one to lift the bin and the other to raise and lower the rear body for emptying. - Opening rear tailgate. I have spent about 25 hours researching, designing and building this MOC, I watched a number of videos on YouTube of various types of rubbish trucks to get ideas for this. The truck is 43cm long, 16cm wide and 19cm high. It weighs around 1350 grams. More photos of this can be found on my blog: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/p/moc-rubbish-truck-with-rear-binlifter.html

This is HUGE. Thanks for sharing :)

It has been a couple of very full on LEGO days for me. - Scored 7 LEGO Technic sets for Christmas plus a LEGO note book and ruler. - I have added another shelf to my display cabinet to fit the above in :) - Yesterday afternoon I ended up parting out 42009 which I have added to my parts collection. - I have spent 11 hours today working on my latest Technic MOC, once it is finished I will post it up :)

That is a really cool idea, thanks for sharing.

I am hanging out to see them in a store here locally before I buy any :)

This is simply amazing :)

I will do, I just wanted to know if it was a common problem?

I got 5 LEGO Technic sets and some other things too :)

Please release some instructions for this :)

My 2014 plan is to do more MOC building.

Excellent work, I look forward to seeing the video :)

Well the advice to take some photos has paid off with my latest MOC as by going back to a photo of an earlier version i managed to fix a problem.

Has anybody had any issues with the pull back motor on this set? Mine seems to have died after only a few uses :(

I have just updated my blog with Version 4 of my wheelie bin rubbish truck. This now features Power Functions to lift the arm and empty the rear body section. Photos and a video can be found on my blog. http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/p/mod-lego-technic-9395-b-model-wheel-bin.html

That is a very good looking collection :)

Other people are free to post if they want, not my fault they don't :)

I have purchased myself a new display cabinet today: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/new-display-cabinet.html
