I don't have any train stuff so i can't help you a lot,but perhaps if you use sariel's flashing light system,but instead of lights it could power your pistons. Trafficators

Nice mods,i see you used some parts of Tripletschiee's mower as inspiration (which i made instructions for).

Thanks bord4kop for your reply ,well at lest you honest.

Even if you lose the 4&3 black panels it will look better.

Welcome to the forum.

Nice plane,like your minifig. I too hope that you enjoyed your birthday.

I use a Sony DSC-S730 camera. Yes it's well worth the money well designed and its cool how the bed lowers the truck when the bed is deployed, also the underlift is cool to.

Thanks Tim i knew you were going to like it, i don't think i will be buying any software i would rather spend it on Lego ,i was holding and filming at the same time which helps explain the poor video.

Wow just it it is in real life, what a great truck.

Nice find David, that's a really smart truck.

I built and fitted a crane behind the cab of my 8109 truck. Features: Legs in/out Legs up/down Slew 360 (by hand) Boom up/down Boom in/out 1 section telescopic (by hand) I know the legs are not the best and it is untidy but it does work. I had to shorten the bed a bit,but it still works and still has a winch. Video is not the best.

I am not a fan of that truck cab.

I do like your grab,thanks for the video.

Bar stool on its end.

This one?

Yes i agree with you there, i do not know what thay were thinking when thay those those wheels.

I got a great idea. Take off one of those wheels,stick it under a stream of water,hook up a dynamo to it and you got power. Or Buy a hamster?

I thought i had done something wrong. Remade cad file.

Heres something i made in ldd for you,i hope it help you . (Clickable thumbnail) Remade cad file.

Very nice unimog zblj , i do think the rear end and the front ends needs a wee bit more work.

You could do with getting rid of those legs,the kind of fire truck that you are building does not have any, that's if you are basing it to the one David posted above. Also they have a telescopic section to the last piece of the boom,you might be able to use the string from the crane its self for this. I am looking forward to it finished,as we not see a lot of this type of vehicle getting built on here.

If paying it for the pneumatics not as good as the 8462 tow truck. But yes it's a good set nicely detailed, the b model is a 'high rise' log loader which is good to
