jorgeopesi Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) With C models like this, who wants Lego B models?, awesome Nico71. Well I have to say the B model is curious in this case. Edited July 31, 2018 by jorgeopesi Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 31, 2018 Author Posted July 31, 2018 Bloody hell that is one hell of an awesome C model! Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) I'd be interested in seeing what magic @nico71 or anyone else can weave with 42080. It'll take some effort to make a C-model out of that look decent. Edited July 31, 2018 by Maaboo35 Quote

BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 That is a truly amazing C model! I bet that looks like a normal MOC of his to people who don't know this is a C model. I almost want to get this set now! Quote

Jim Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I am finishing the final review as we speak. And I must admit....I'm done with it Four reviews are ready to be published. I will try to do this tomorrow morning before I leave for work. It's my first day at my new job, so the timing isn't perfect. Quote

nico71 Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Thank you for warm comment, yes I find also the designer for B model a bit lazy, there is many thing to do with a motor, 4 wheel, gearbox and 4000 parts. Here is my result after many weeks of work. I will publish it as soon as I have the instructions done. And regarding the 42080, sorry I do not have one :) Quote
1gor Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Loader is really nice @nico71 I think LEGO designers should look up to you (at least this time, but your other creations are great) Quote
Vectormatic Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Amazing C-model, and indeed, it just shows how lazy the B-model for that set is. Looking forward to the reviews tomorrow, this set and 79 certainly caught my eye Quote
WvG_853 Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Fantastic C-Model @nico71! As always, I appreciate very much that you are making instructions. Your C-Model really adds value to the 42082 set. This should have been the B-Model! Quote

Lipko Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) It may be totally wrong, but one reason for the lazy B.model may be that the model is simply too large and taking it apart takes too much effort for the customers. I'm not sure if I'd bother with it just to build the B model. So a proper B model would mean not much added value for most of the customers but great effort for TLG. Maybe TLG learned it from the BWE. Of course, I didn't take a look at the B model in detail, so if the bottom is actually different, my argument fails. Edited stuff. My English fails me again...

Perhaps if they made decent B model customers would decide to buy second copy to have both models... Quote

If I am not mistaken @nico71 used the same chassis as the main model for the front loader. 9 hours ago, nico71 said: Here is my result after many weeks of work. It cannot be that many weeks, right? Three maybe? Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 Personally, I've never build a B model in my life, so I would prefer TLG spends more development time on the actual A model. That's just me though... Quote
Dylan M Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 The B model of 42055 is far better 'coz the can Actually Work Together with a little bit of MOD Quote
