This is one of the reasons why lego should produce more chrome parts itself. A beautyfull moc..

Just amazing this one. A dome like this you dont see very mutch. Very well done..

I like to see the old truck and trailer from @dikkie klijn in the hof.

Love it, except one thing the shocks. These are the "expensive ones" but i keep following this one. Here and on Lego Technic. Love to see how the whole moc will turn out..

The knock-off brands have also whan thing that i did not see talkt about here. Offcorse the workers is China are cheap, but the way the plastic pallets are produced, are very differend then the pallets lego uses for there products. Thats why i know for a fact that lego bricks are safe. About the knock-off brands i am not so sure of that. And maybe parents have to think more then twice to buy this stuff. Kids ( i think we all thit it on a young age ) put bricks in there mouth to get them apart or just for the fun of it. I am sure that in those knock-off products there are some toxic products witch you never will find in the save lego bricks. The price of lego contains not only research and development, but also the price of the plastic pallets they use. Ik work in the heavy industry where those pallets are made ( as a sandblaster not in plastic production ), so i know and see daily what it takes to make them. It takes a whole lot of chemical steps to get all if the toxic products out before the pallets can be used for toys or other daily products. And i think we all heard of toys and products produce in country's like China with toxic products in them. And that these product would then be take of the shelfs. And there will be someone in the future who will test those products. And then there is the economic issue. If lets say Europe begins with an import stop on those products because it will harm there economy the rest will follow. It is not only lego who loses money, but a lot of companies who supply raw materials or services to TLG. We can only could guess what the outcome will be. But if it goes the same way with the phone, clothing, sportsshoes ect. then it is going to be a world wide ban for those knock-off brands. It took a few years for that to happen. But it happend at the end. A global total import stop, will to stop it. And at the end we as buyers, can keep the market going of these KO brands but we sure can bring them to there knees just by DONT buy it.. And i forget to add the most importend thing. What all those KO brands never ever can buy, make, steel or produce is the connection we all have with lego witch has started in our childhood. That feeling that we had as boy or girl when we where with our parents in the toyshop and where dreaming what we could build with that lego car or house we had seen. That feeling from our chilhood that we had ( and i think most of us still have ) with seeing or getting lego, will never in any way can be replaced by some kind of KO brand.....

It is great to see that members can work together, to get something done..

I like the total build. Old trucks are difficult to build. Due to the round shapes. But you covered very good. The only thing why i dont like sand green, is because ( you sayd it allready ) there are expensive and hard to get..

One beautyfull piece you have created. A trainstation with awsome details. Love it..

I tought so to. But as i am not have any of the old builds, i mailt it to @Rudivdk he is going to test it. When he is ready with that, he will post the results here. I only know if it really works afther it is been tested..

They are allready on there way to @Rudivdk for testing. So i think Rudi will post in a few weeks if it works on the old lego sets or not..

Nice build, it is nice to see those machines. Also the wheels are a nice toutch, as they are on the real one also small. Great build...

A beauty this truck. The cabin is that the color sand green? Not one of my favorite colors due to the fact that they are ofthen high priced. But the whole combination is an amazing build, love it..

These are the tools i allways use when i am building..

That dosend look good on the pictures, but it will here in my home. Joke of course, a very beautyfull moc indeed. Great details, nice colors just everything like it has to be. I like it a lot amazing..

I would like to see the end result. So far it looks promising..

Good review , i like this set but still think it is overpriced..

Yes but you have to make sure that they are the right size. I use bricksafe myself. If you go the the guidlines of EB you can read al about it. Good luck, and looking forward to see your build..

@Rudivdk if you send me a pm, we can take care of that. I can send it to you with some explaining how to make usable steel flex cable's..

I have a big technic tyre, but i dont live in the US.

@nerdsforprez use this one. I always have one in my desk when i am building. If you put it in on the backside of the rim, it pops out easy.. or a little plastic hobby tweezer will also do the job..

@suffocation if you want i can send it to you with a peace of steel cable, some sleeves and 3mm rigged hose. Then you can test it in a build. And if you are ready with the test, you can place the outcome here. As i dont have any sets with these flex cable's, i am not able to test it myself. To prevent damage to the rigged hose, you can put an extra sleeve before the end notch..

I think you have coverd the climbing for now. But i hope that it still works when you build the whole robot. I like to see a video of the complete one. Looming forward to that..

Nice one.. maybe you can use the old technic seats..

Nice build.. Maybe some chrome bricks, will pup it out even more..

I second that @nerdsforprez and @Edwin Korstanje
