It's not the chassis I am on about,I can understand that.What I mean is that the Daf tracks/Ginaf from what I have ever seen make the truck cabs the full width of the front like regular trucks.

I think it would look a lot better if the cab took up the whole front width of the chassis.

The 'claw part' on the 43006 are really only meant to be used for a peel grab or a hydraulic or fixed thumb. What kind of grab are you after?

Your tug is coming on nicely,I can wait to see it finished.

It looks great,It looks much more like a real mini excavator.

My Pneumatic loader had 4 vales operated by S motors, a XL motor for drive, a pressure regulator ,S motor for steering and a S motor for the compressor. All was powered by a single Rechargeable battery box.

Yeb,that sounds about right.You may manage with 2 of the new grey pumps found in the unimog driven by a L motor/S motor. If you have a rechargeable battery box it will power the drive as well and the pumps.

Have you thought of adding electric PF valves and a pump to the inside of your dozer to power the functions? It would look a lot better than having a cord running out the back.

I am a generous man.....

But that would spoil the surprise if you get the set yourself. It works good it fires straight ahead,but that's really all it does.

Today I was lucky to receive the 5014 hockey slammer set free with a Bricklink order I got through the post today,so I thought I would make a review of it. Some basic details: Theme Sports Year released 2003 Pieces 28 RRP £0.78 Packaging Polybag The front of the bag is pretty boring as you would expect for a set this size..... why is that player aiming for the other players face? Back of the bag looks like this.... The back of the bag also shows you how to place the puck in-between the 'legs' of the players and what should happen if you press down the 'head',that is if you build it right..... The parts..... The parts sorted.... There is no really interesting parts here,but you could say that all the parts may help boost you collection of technic parts. The instructions. The back of the instructions. I wounder if that red basketball player is really that bendy? Half way through the build,for some reason I have chosen to build both players simultaneously.... And finished..... Players from the back. Spare parts,there should be another spare rubber band but I got a piece of hard plastic instead... Ratings: Parts 8/10 Build 6 /10 Playability 5/10 Overall 7/10 So to sum up it's a interesting set,it is not very expensive but does give you some good parts to add to your collection. The build was as you can expect from a set this size not very interesting,just some parts stuck on top of each other. personally I would not of bought it myself,I got it as a free give from a Bricklink order..... so I am not going to complain.

I think the bonnet is 1 or two stud too high,If yo look at the previous picture you can see the front lights are about half way up in height.

What ever next..... I like the grab design.

Err... Lego logo stamped into ether the underside or on top of the piece.

I am going to say that this is probably due to the fact that he is a police officer in Sweden. That would explain those big pot holes we drove into 2 years ago....

I fitted a XL motor to the underside of the rear axle,you could easily use a L motor instead.

Try this improved version.

In the picture above it looks like you are having a rave while going round in circles.... That Eurobricks event looks great,I look forward to seeing some more pic's.

Well I won't be adding to it...It is meant to be a trailer for the logging truck of last year. It does have some lights at the back. I seem to remember it only taking 1/2 a hour to build,It was only a quick trailer.

I bet she is going to be a much better ship builder than you.

I think your design could do with another layer of studless beams running the full length of the chassis. Apart from that it looks good.

You can just remove the curved beams at the front and replace them with straight ones. I can't understand what you said regarding the other problems,can you try to explain this better?

Why does both axles turn so tight? They are nearly touching each other....

Congratulations Ecclesiastes on your promotion to history regulator.

Yeb.
