legolijntje Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Wait....what should I be using then? I did all that work on my many versions of Jennifer Clark's demag on mlcad. I personally am a big fan of LDCad. Especially the new 1.5 (Beta) with the new source-window. For me, it has almost everything that I liked from SR3D Builder (the ease of building) and almost everything that I liked from MLcad (the more advanced features and the source-editor). And, besides that, the flexible part editor in LDCad is amazingly powerful and easy. It isn't LSynth compatible, but because it generates a part in the MPD file, it's still compatible with other viewers (e.g. LDview, LPub). Of course, it's a matter of preference and I can imagine that if you've been using MLcad for years and years, you've grown used to it. But I started LDraw with SR3D Builder years and years ago, and I've always found MLcad kinda annoying. Quote
JohnBS Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Hi everyone, I've today received the last two pieces for this MOC that I ordered from BrickOwl - just in time for Christmas!! I'm really looking forward to getting started and was delighted to read Blakbird's mini review of the model. To me, it looks terrific. More later. Season's greetings, John Quote
OneMoreRobot Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Hi Folks, I completed my copy of this model - a couple of small mods; SBrick control with a basic (for now) iPhone interface Added an LPG bottle, since this is the most common forklift configuration in Australia Changed the seat, as other folk have mentioned, it was out of scale & I found the black colour tended to become lost so it is now LBG/DBG OMR IMG_1569 by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr IMG_1570 by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Edited December 24, 2015 by OneMoreRobot Quote
Brickis38542f Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 At the moment it's definitely too expensive for me to get all the required pieces for this model, but one day... One day I hope I will manage to build this machine. Thank you! Quote

JohnBS Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Kevin, I have just finished building my Christmas/New Year project, your Fork Lift Mk II. I was tremendously impressed by the density and robustness of the mechanics and by the superb quality of the building instructions - a brilliant design and terrific engineering. Thank you very much; it was the most satisfying build that I have made.

nychase Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Hi John, Very easy to add OMR Since you made quick work of that any way you could post another photo and the parts list for your seat too. I can't resist the LPG mod and seeing the seat makes me want to do that too. THANKS! Quote

TylerridgwayAUS Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I'm having trouble downloading instructions Quote
emielroumen Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I've started with this model too. As I do not own that many pieces in red I have to revert to yellow. Last weekend I got approximately halfway through the excellent build instructions and decide to take a picture. Now I have to source some black panels first before I can continue. Great build so far, relatively dense model. The outer two L motors were swapped for M variants for steering and tilting, else I had to tear down Jurgen's Backhoe V2. I hope these have enough torque.

Juize75 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Finished my build of this moc today. Have to say, great design and very good instructions. Forklift it self works fine and has good lifting power and good turning rate. Thx Kevin. Quote
emielroumen Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Finished the MOC this week after I received a few missing parts. This model could or should have been released by Lego itself because of the excellent photo instructions, build quality and sturdiness. More photos of this MOC available in my bricksafe folder, some feature Jurgen's Backhoe V2 too :). Edited October 25, 2016 by emielroumen Remove image from bricksafe Quote
