actually iam at page 109 and the goal is the full set.

I don´t like this model team set but I appreciate your work, we'll see if there's something good...

[efferman]

It is n ot really a model team set, even when it has many studded parts

Page 207 and section 3 finished

Hi

Can someone tell me what is the point of a high number of CV joints on the trailer?

[allanp]

I can't say for this model, but I regularly use CV or universal joints on long axles to accommodate any twisting in the frame.

To help install sections easy.

They reduce the stress on the drivetrain when the container is in air.

The lxf of the semi tractor is done, except of missing parts in ldd

Hi efferman,

you're the best! It's absolutely incredible how fast you made this LDD 

In the mean time the trailer of my luffing crane is done:

[jono rocky]

Had a little play around with this truck and I think dual wheels and chrome is better. Its a working progress.

[Ngoc Nguyen]

@jono rocky Which rim do you use for the rear wheels?

[efferman]

where in ldd you have found the curved pipes?

edit:

found one at the flexible parts. but the part seems different.

The rim part is 56145 and the tyre is 15413. The tube I used is part 25214 but it dosnt fit an axle the whole way in so I removed the axle in the stack to get it to sit underneath. The dual conversion was simple. The steering colum dosnt go so I put a 3L axle in instead of a 4L and lifted the uni joint up half a stud and a bit and that works. The windscreen sides dont fit at all no matter what I tried.

Added some PF lights, 2 L motors to the trailer with another SBrick for control and Mack the Bulldog also received a little Christmas upgrade :) Tested the trailer also with M motors but they were too weak to lift the load. Placement of the motors in the trailer is not 100% satisfactory as the one which is perpandicular lifts the container up a bit. And of course Merry Xmas to everyone :)

Hi kbalage,

Edit: How did you manage to make a moose out of the bulldog? Very nice detail

I'd think that the B model uses them.

[Kaanere]

Short video of the B-model by the designer:

not really many space to hide the rc

I like what I see... but what concerns me the most is the price and value.

 

I feel that it will be expensive because of the licencing and size. I also am looking for other pieces. 

Wish lego would release another low budget full size vehicle (eg. 42029 or 42037) since im looking for parts that the sets contain :D

 

 

[Boulderer]

I really like the garbage truck. It’s better than some A-models. Mack must be really pleased with the license agreement.

[technicfan]

Yay, finally a video about the b model. I am really liking this, especially since it has a ejector plate in it, cant wait.
