GuiliuG Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Long time since I have featured a model here. But during all this time, I haven't stopped playing with my lego bricks. So, here is my new model : (click on the picture to read the full review on my website). I'm impatient to read your comments ! GuiliuG. Edited July 3, 2013 by GuiliuG Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Very clean looking truck, I like the colour scheme! Quote
Doc_Brown Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Nice truck indeed! Great functions and looks. Did you order those 5x11 red panels from BL? :P Wish I had that many! Very nice webpage too! Great job. :thumbup: Quote
CisFran Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 awesome work! nice job on the truck! good thing you have lots of red panels, I'm still waiting for TLG to re-release that colored part Quote
tbird8057 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Great model. I was curious about the leaf springs. Having read your write up I don't quite understand what parts you used for the leaves themselves. Are the studfull lift arms? Edited July 3, 2013 by tbird8057 Quote
jorgeopesi Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I like the leaf-spring suspension, I will use it for testing . Quote
Zerobricks Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Good work. Do you have any more detail pictures of suspension? Quote
nayrsllim Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Honestly I thought it was real. You could probably incorporate this into some sort of ad if you are into graphic design. Do you have more pics? Quote
Rishab N Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Wow! This is great, it has a very smooth look to it Quote
Lakop Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Very nice truck. I'm working on one similar (not a tipper as yet). I like the red panels too but lego are out of stock. I need red, yellow and blue if possible. When the new tow truck comes out we'll have green also (can you get them in blue). Great model H Quote
TimH Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Really nice dump truck. I like the leaf spring suspension. Quote
Legogal Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Wow! What a cool video and description of the dump truck's features! I want one of these, too! My favorite part is the pneumatic lift...fun to watch. Reminds me of the huge dump trucks that deliver 20 cubic feet or more of mulch for our yard for about 400usd per load. It usually takes about five loads, so I get to watch some big dumps! Quote
Blakbird Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Another beautiful model! All those 5x11 red panels you have there are worth a fortune. This is one of those models that looks so smooth that you might guess it is all about looks and not functions, but then when you turn it over you see all the wonderful mechanisms inside. Quote
piterx Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 i posted on youtube but it worths posting here too: i really like it :) expecially the double pneumatic arm well done! Quote
legosamigos Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Hi everybody! In my opinion, a cab is little too high Quote
GuiliuG Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks all for your kind comments. I didn't expect so much from this model ! I have all these red panels for two years now I think, so I didn't need to buy any for this model. I bought them for this man truck : The suspension system is done using simple plate, such as seen in these pictures : Front-axles Rear axles : More to come in the future, as I have again some model to feature such as this five-axle excavator : Edited July 4, 2013 by GuiliuG Quote
