Paul B Technic

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I was very limited with parts so did the best I could. I am thinking of pulling it down and trying something else.

I have recently been working on building a custom C model, using only the parts from LEGO Technic set 42133. I have designed and built a farm tractor with a rear plough. This features hand of god steering and the rear plough can be raised and lowered via the gear under the seat. Only a small number of parts were left over and given the limited number of parts of this set, I am fairly happy with this build. https://tangerstechnic.blogspot.com/2022/03/lego-technic-42133-c-model-farm-tractor.html

The building process was enjoyable and took about 30 minutes. The end rest is a very good looking monster truck that is fun to play with, my kids love driving and crashing these. I have owned a few of the different pull back sets in the past, this one has the best looks out of all the ones I have owned. The level of detail in the teeth is great. I do feel the rear tail section is a bit of a let down, it feels a little bare and underdone. This set is good both to be built as the set and also as a base to create some interesting C models. Things I like: - Fun design. - Enjoyable building process. - Pull back function. Things I don't like: - Limited functions, no opening doors or anything excpet for the pull back motor. Rating: 4/5 - It is fun but has only one function, the pull back motor. Photos: https://tangerstechnic.blogspot.com/2022/03/lego-technic-42134-monster-jam.html

MOC: 42139 Attachment - Field Plough I have recently been working on creating another attachment for LEGO Technic set 42139 (Technic All-Terrain Vehicle). This is a field plough. This attaches to the rear of 42139 using a mount I have added. This can easily be lifted on and off. The lifting of the plough itself is controlled via the leaver on the side.

This is a set of lift and carry forks. This attaches to the front of 42139 using a mount I have added. This is used to lift and carry various items, in the photos below, it is being used to lift and carry the logs that come with this set.

MOC: 42139 Attachment - Rubbish Loader Arm https://tangerstechnic.blogspot.com/2022/03/moc-42139-attachment-rubbish-loader-arm.html

Some of these are some very worthwhile mods, I think this one might be one of my next purchases.

I am loving some of these smaller builds.

Wow, that is an amazing level of detail.

I have recently purchased this, I am planning on a build then as a parts pack. I think the reviews on this are about spot on.

Awesome, I never owned 8868 but this is a great rebuild and extras with the trailers :)

I am in the process of designing some different attachments and making some other changes, has anybody found a good catalogue of some different accessories that these are sold with?

An excellent review of an excellent set, this set was what has got me back in to Technic after a couple of years away.

Great work, I am very excited about this set.

.

Those looks much better :)

Lets hope we get some info soon.

Dozer Blade This is my latest attachment in the PTTAS series. This is a dozer blade, used for pushing and moving items and clearing land. The knob on the side is used to raise and lower it.

I am just planning my next build which is a dozer blade, would this normally be as wide as the whole model including the wheels or should it be slightly wider?

Excellent little model and great it now has a building guide :)

This will be a parts pack for me I think.

Yes the cones live in a compartment on the other side of the cabin. I will add them for the photos of my next attachment :)

Lift and Carry Trailer, This is my latest attachment in the PTTAS series. This is a lift and carry trailer. These are used when equipment needs to be left in a location without having to leave the tractor and trailer in that spot or when multiple items needs to be moved. They are also used for rubbish collection, they can be left and collected (full) later and also for fruit and vegetable harvesting. Video -
