mines better

a crane

shame it's not in the isle of lewis am the other end of the uk

well i use all of them and thay all have good and bad points

nice to see your still alive well i could biuld both i thought since lego are biulding a unimog i would not biuld one my self how is your crane doing? if you are feed up with it you could send it to me and i will finish it for you and just in case you are woundering the skip truck is going well i rebiult the stearing as it was not strong anough i am nearly finished the cab i hope to post some pic of both mocs soon

well i am goiog for the harvester am working on the head right now,i cant give date on the finished thing,but i hope to have some pis soon for people how might be interested in instrutions thay may take a while to biuld as i dont have much experance on makeing them i will warn you with some parts you may need: 2 mcro motors (compleate) 4 small pneumatic rams 8 normal sized rams and some small chain (i wonder what for)

em well e ah o motors ah o em you need to try changeing some of thoese gears before you break one/or more have you tryed changeing the 14 tooth gear to a 12 tooth? this might help the drive what about useing a worm gear for lifting and lowering of the boom, hope this might help

it looks good perhaps you might want to twick the gearing if you say there is gears slipping before you make instrutions,if you do that is

joke? i was kind of hopeing that thay might contain some more funtions as well as forward reverse left right

ok this might seem bad but have you tried putting the lever in the middle once boom is raised to the right position this will help you could put a rubber band on the switch to limit the amount of air going to the ram

well someones on the ball i was having pic trouble can people tell me do most of you have micro motors i have 2 my self so i know before i start planing also small pneumatic cylinders

while work is on going on my skip truck would like to know what you think i should build next but it has to be machinery or a truck i was thinking of the following: tree harvester unimog a small truck i was hoping i could make instructions for it so you could all get to build it i would like to build a crane and a excavator some time but i don't think i could make instructions for them all the things listed above would have lots of functions in them,for the truck i could have different backs on them,the same goes for the unimog i will left it up to you.i am away to do some small pneumatic cylinder shopping

done

any thing trance and or progressive and lots of it

interesting tobic as i am from the tecknic section yes use a small set of pliers (long nosed) and pull from inside the pin

am sure thay can but am no moderator

i think they should have a new category on eurobricks were we can set more of these DLuders got a head start

well i whould only be to happy to make instrutions of mocs (try and make some instrutions of mocs i dont have muck experance )just in cass some people get there hopes up i dont think you will see some instrutions for my skip truck but i might consider a good price the steering is drive me round the bend (not strong anough)

1 technic pin its not like DLuders to do this,first time for every thing

yes very nice but you do relise that there is not a single pice of technic in it , and its not classed as model team ether

? nice job on the crane ? nice job on the crane

for me the 8464 loader is the best i don't have the 8265 set or that crane that came out last year. I am just finished that red truck crane and it is pants in terms of lifting.... both the blue and the red peumatic crane (blue tow truck and that red truck you could change the back stuff on ) .

i got my hands on the new backhoe model and that red truck with the yellow crane only payed £98 pounds in hamleys (glasgow) even though it was marked £130 pounds thay still have a few left so i am away to get biulding i am thinking i might tinker with the truck when it is finished,but man its a great model to have and thats just from the box

Alanp has a good idea for a grab but it uses to micro motor's.

you made a geat job look forward to your next project
