Rather quick with the reverse engineering right? Sorry, it's my own creation. Would be nice to see how it compares to the official model in terms of functionality and parts

Some picture of one of my first MOCs since coming out of the dark ages. At least the first I'm confident enough to post, although I'd like to spent some more time on the detailing. Had it standing around for something, and got triggered by the 2014 news to finally post it. PF container truck: powered by 1 medium motor. 3 gear levers, each allow a function to operate in both direction independent of motor direction (switch on the battery box blocked in 1 direction such that the direction of the levers corresponds with the direction of movemen): - outriggers at back: can be used to raise the rear axle (just) of the ground for stability - left and right arms moving together or separately (to correct for misalignment of container when picking it up). Cabin inspired by the TLG blue container truck (8052), but made 2 studs wider and with modifications for especially the wheel arches. looking forward to your thoughts and comments.

The container truck looks interesting. At least it's a good reason for me to finally join the forum instead of lurking, my first MoC to post:

Hello, I'm a 27 year old AFOL living in Leiden, the Netherlands, with my fiancee and cat. I grew up on a farm with 2 brothers, and between the 3 of us we collected most of the technic sets from between 1990 and 2002 (Sadly just missed the test car), with the models never lasting more than 2 weeks before being taking apart for MOC's of mostly tractors and other farm-related equipment. After that, other interests and college let to the dark ages, until around 2010 when my girlfriend dragged me into a lego brand store in Berlin, where I bought the snow groomer. Since then I've been collecting technic sets and some creator sets, and started a bit with some of my own builds which I might post someday if I'm happy enough with the results. After 2 years of browsing the different forums and blogs I finally decided to join (triggered by some news on the 2014 sets).
