... panel curved 3x13 on the front-top ot the tipper, to simulate the tarpaulin... Let's end the discussion here.

I was referring to the Rebrickable model, not the thread itself, which is just my motorized mod of the Rebrickable one. You did not mention it at all. We both made an Iveco T-way so that's possible that many parts are similar, that's not the point. But it is clear (you have my instructions) that there was an inspiration to make your model, and it is sad that it is not stated in your description. The dual wheels on the rear axles using 49.5 x 14 wheels look like it is your own idea! I'm not saying I'm the only one using them... but hey... Fuel tank, hydraulic tank, spare wheel, ad-blue tank, mudguard design...

It is very sad to see that you did not mention another Iveco T-way as a reference for your model. In the past, after purchasing the instructions of my model, you asked me to publish a revised version with openable cab doors (I allowed you to publish the cab mod instructions, and not the whole model). Now I see you made a new model and that's ok, but the similarities are obvious, so I did expect you mention me, at least. The way you describe some features of your model (which are taken from mine) is simply not polite. That said, I like you version and the only bad point is the very limited tilting angle.

I agree with you, and it is surely a marketing strategy to sell both colors, instead of chosing only one. The second color version was actually a limited edition for the blue fiat 500, and now it's really hard to find, but I think the blue bugatti is not a limoted edition and it's s actually sold at the same price as the yellow one.

Cool little scale model! It's a pity it has not been frontpaged.

You were fast, the real truck has been shown on 29th January, but if you had the chance to see it before the official release, then you were lucky I like the overall look, even if I prefer the Technic style than the system style, especially those exposed studs on the side walls. Surely with system bricks you can make better details! I see there are still "technicprojects-style" headlights there

Remembering the good old times in which we were waiting for the toy fair to see the Lego Technic summer news by live...

Hello people! I want to start showing you some of my latest models, it's quite a lot of time I don't share them here. This is an Iveco T-Way, full RC with PU motors and hub, controlled via Brickcontroller2 and a Joypad. It is equipped with suspensions on all axles (pendular on the front axles and pendular in 2 directions on rear axles). The drive motor is directly connected to rear axles (it "moves" together with the third axle). Stickers are self made. This model is a mod of my original static model, in grey and black version, which features Hog steering, rear pendular suspensions, fake engine and tipping body. Instructions available here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-121004/technicprojects/iveco-t-way/#details

A lot of cars then... no problem if they will bring us more mini panels in new colors... The only one I'm interested is the Volvo set. And at a reasonable price tag.

This sounds very interesting. The word "cargo" suggests it might be a truck that carries the excavator, not a tipper truck. Let's wait and see. I hope it will not be too expensive (=below 200 Euro)

Looking forward to see the progress on the Mack!

Sometimes the final design is not as good as we may expect, and that could be for many reasons we don't know. But the question here is: with the same amount of parts, with the same production cost, could have it been done better? Better shapes, better proportions, better resemblance to the real one? Yes and yes and yes, it could.

Are we missing 42165 in January wave?

This, without wheels, looks nice (not resembling the real one but at least it is nice) so I think the main issue with this model is about the wheels.

The January wave looks very poor in terms of design. Nothing to compare with the small sets of January 2023. The Mack is the best but the cab design is very crude. The JD is a city set. In general I was expecting for some recolors of the small panels but it looks we only have DBG as a new color in the bike. Still no white. Disappointed 😞

Ok but why are the March sets revealed and the January sets not yet?

I find gobricks parts on aliexpress, but it's almost impossible to find these "special" parts because you don't know what code/number they are. Look very useful indeed!

You've added so many details in such a small model. Well done!

There are a lot of space sets scheduled for 2024, that's what I mean. It's not a bad thing if they make something new, but if they make 4 or 5 sets based on space, there will be 4 or 5 sets less for other different themes.

According to instagram, 42182 should be "1970 moon rover" priced 250$ and released in June. If that's true, we have left the year of repetitive cars and we are going into the year of repetitive space sets.

2023 official reveal was on 2 december...

yes! And @falconluan could also update the Claas!

Love the New Holland and the Steyr! Now missing a John Deere and a Fendt

That's a good news!

The stickers add a lot of details, this model is awesome! I hope you will make the instructions... I'd love to have it in my collection (and many other mini-sized sets of the contest)
