Good old Lego builder

I had a kind of the same issue with the turntable on the Unimog and the Arocs last year. I used some compressed air (can) on the turntable and that seemed to work.

Ah! Ok, thanks!

I have lubricated it. Can you explain why it works only one way around? I don’t see a difference in speed of the pump. (Hence why it has trouble lofting the boom)

Hi all, In have the Unimog 8110 for years on my shelve. Recently my kid noticed the pneumatic pump jammed. I have fixed that ( the pump had some dust issues) but I noticed now that when I put the batterybox on (in action) the crane-pneumatics works only one way (button to the right). When the switch on the batterybox is to the left (reverse so to speak) the pump works, but doesn’t seem to generate enough pressure, so the crane does not work then. Any clues at what is going on? This was never an issue.

That is a neat dozer. Never seen it before. Well done, looks very nice.

I think it is a really fun entrance. I like buses amd this one has a lot of functions in it. Well done!

This looks very good. Very clean design, well done!

Very nice! Looks like a set! Love the Batman fig.

This one also looks great! Very well done, especially at this scale!

Nice build! Looks very nice!

Very impressive! Looks really nice.

This looks great! Well done!

Great model, I like how all functions are manual! Well done!

I agree with both points!

Very nice creation! Would fit nice in the row of UCS Batmobiles!

They look really nice, l like how the functions are manual. Lego should do that more often.

Most of the times a make a list of the entries I like. (top 6 or 8). Based on the WIP-threads / final result. Then I look closer to put them in de right order to allocate the points. So honestly, in most contests not all entries appeal to me. And sometimes something appeals, because somehow it strikes a chord, even though maybe it is not a technic marvel, but just appeals. (for example, in TC25 I really appreciate the little Unimog, which apperently did't score that much points) I think most of us deep down know that a particular entry is a winner for them. I think we are over overcomplicating things.

After all the discussion I still prefer the F1 piblic voting. It is easy to undertand, easy to do and it really differentiates. I think it is important to have an easy way of casting votes because when too complex, people just won’t vote.

Very nice creation, the cab is well done. I like that the functions are manual!

Charming creation nontheless!

Totally agree! This is high level quality. I would totally believe the entries are official Lego sets! Really well done.

Yes, that is what I have in mind. Thanks!

Question: I have 12v train 7740. If I update the wheels of the cars to a modern version, would that make a lot of difference in speed of the train? Incan also run it with the sleeper car and the post car.

Amazing how you keep on designing good looking alternate builds. Good work!
