    I used to own 8043 and really liked it. I did find the shovel was quite a weak point so I replaced this with a grabber claw.

    I guess it is hard to find new these days, I have not seen one here locally for almost a year now.

    Different people like different things and as such the two different "styles" you asked about are used. Some people even build both ways. I think it is more about building a MOC which YOU like, what style it is and if somebody else likes it should only be a secondary consideration :)

    I was hoping the Technic sets would be out before April :(

    I think that if the Technic forum was split off in to more sub sections it would make keeping track of topics much harder, I much prefer having a page or more of topics to check then having to check a number of sub sections. I don't have an issue with the number of new posts and topics, much better then having a forum which is almost dead which is the case with some other forums and websites I am a member of.

    I don't have a huge parts collection so I have to use what I have and in most cases this means using more black pieces then what I would normally like to. For areas like the chassis I think they can work well.

    Thanks for sharing this, I really thought the crawler would have been higher in the list?

    I have some old Technic sets from the 1980's and 1990's which I need to clean up, I will keep an eye on this thread for ideas.

    Update: 17/12/2013 - V3 After some more research and feedback I have made some more changes to this model, this brings us up to version 3. These changes include: - Adding some more pieces to the lifting arm to make this stronger and attached more securely to the body. - Changed the panels on the side to ones without stickers to allow me to add a sticker showing the two options with the side switch. - Changed the top lid section to now be made from solid panels. This has also meant I have been able to attach the back tail gate in the middle which also makes this stronger. - Some minor cosmetic changes to the warning lights and the control knob at the back.

    Well it seems that my shelves are not working out like I hoped so I am now looking for a cupboard to store my sets in. Has anybody tried something like this and have any feedback on them? http://www.fantasticfurniture.com.au/Products/Kids//p/BETUTI2DROOOFOIBEE

    I am quite a fan of this set and will be purchasing another copy or two soon just to add to my parts collection. I have also designed and build a MOD for the B model (Wheelie bin truck) which can be found on my blog. I have built both models multiple times and find both to be worth the time to build, I personally prefer the B model.

    You have done an amazing job with this, I was wondering the other day if anybody had done a mod like this.
  16. Paul B Technic
    You have done a great job with this, I love it.

    I have just set this up on my desk at work and have had some really good comments from my work mates :) http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/lego-christmas-scene.html
  18. Paul B Technic
    Thanks for all the feedback, sounds like it is not really something that I wanted so maybe I will try and do this via my blog.

    I had never really thought of building a gun out of LEGO, I might have to give it a try :)

    Thanks for sharing this. I have noticed a few of this set on eBay of late and I was 50/50 on if I will buy it or not, after reading this I am thinking I might :)
  21. Paul B Technic
    Some better photos would be great :)

    - Breaking down some of my MOC's. - Not sticking with LEGO enough in my late teens and early 20's

    That looks amazing in black, gives the set a totally different feel.

    I am planning on grabbing 8110 after Christmas but this is locally and I know two retailers have it in stock. I always think it is best to grab sets when you can, you never know when they might get sold out.
  25. Paul B Technic
    This amazing, you have captured the original 8868 really well.
