Pleasure is all mine I tried rotating the model but it doesn't do much... after reading and browsing the bluerender topic I assume that black is just a difficult colour Before rotation After rotation @ Jim There should be light settings but Im not much of a coder/programmer

I don't think that the servo motor is in the standard ldd only in the extended version of LDD so that might be the reason for it not being visible

Thank You Yes it is too dark, still trying to find the correct balance for black

Hi Folks If anyone is interested in the LDD file? The model is done, unfortunately without pneumatics Maybe one of our friends could finish the model with brickbuild pneumatic parts... LDD File Here And some renders for my enjoyment Thanks

Effeman"s updated drivetrain / gearbox. I have colour-coded each function Will build this MOD on the weekend, and give you feed back on how it works.

Thanks I see you've changed the diffs around

Efferman, Im mostly impressed with the gearbox in this MOD of yours, well designed and actualy very compact think I might try this mod myself . Thanks for your LXF file.

Its in my bricksafe folder in my signature http://bricksafe.com...c VC Compl.lxf

Except for the connection to the mini turn table the crane is actually ok Nice clear pictures Jim

Thanks for that saving about €30 based on the price I will have to pay once its available here

A bit of topic I have family coming over from Venlo in Netherlands and want them to buy me set , could someone recommend a retailer maybe one with a current special offers I would really appreciate it, thanks in advance Sieg

Once they are available here I'm definitely buying 2 sets. Since I have only bought 1 set for 2016 ( go-cart) I might as well spent my lego budget on 2 of these

I don't even have this year's sets :grin:

Anything is possible but there will always be some kind of compromise

Thanks Jim So we might see the volvo a bit later Today? looking forward to your written review of the Claas

Was hoping that you would stick to the 1st of August tradition

Very nice render how did you manage to fit the flex axle?, I just can't get them to snap or are you using LDRAW

Hi Grum I hope that you are doing better Just wanted to know if your are still doing your reviews as I and I bet a lot of other member miss the weekly updates, and I find your reviews always inspiring and motivating, and so much fun to watch. Keep up the good work. Hope to hear from you soon :thumbup: Siggy

Thanks Gnac Lenght required is 8l, i managed to fit the LA

With the front build as a sample, I found that the LA does not extend fully when at max height, as the beams reach the max turning radius and the LA starts to "click" Apologies for the poor pic Will rebuilt it and try Okay It's added to the Model, let me know if you want the updated LDD file

Yes I can't get them to align As the are fully extended and when I try this trick that is posted (Somewhere in the LDD FORUM) it crashes my PC.... Maybe someone with more LDD experience should try it, Me and my novice attempts have only failed

The cross axle joiner and the 4l axle from the motor are not connected

I know I won't be getting it then, as our "supply" of Lego in South Africa is always a month or two later.... will be extremely lucky, if it arrives in Sept.

My error The 3l thin lever 3l Beam is a "spacer" that should be moved completely to the left, to allow the selector to line up with the catch at the back. Thanks for pointing that out
