Posted July 16, 20186 yr Hi guys, here is my first alternate model of 42078 - Mobile crane. Functions are in video. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HRgx2qHyS0&feature=youtu.be More photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/142407982@N08/albums/72157697465100061 Edited July 16, 20186 yr by Dyen
July 16, 20186 yr Woah, cool! This is top-notch. The details are spot on, from the Mack-aroni parts for the front bullbar to the use of the panels getting the shape right. Great work!
July 16, 20186 yr Finally, someone did it! This is the first c-model I could think of coming from this set, and you executed it very nicely. Great job!
July 16, 20186 yr Nice looking crane and fantastic video. The features are a nice addition as well! Keep up the great work!
July 17, 20186 yr This is absolutely amazing, I love cranes (working on one right now), and this looks like a small version of 42009, great job.

July 17, 20186 yr Great model, nice features and details (Moving steering wheel, ladder). Loved the steering mechanism, very innovative.

July 17, 20186 yr An excellent mobile crane, and even better as a C-model. The colours from the original set look great in this form, and I love how all the detailing stickers/parts have been included. Great work overall.
July 18, 20186 yr Wow, really unexpected alternate model. Could you, please, share more pics? I'd like to see the boom and the rotating superstructure. Video maybe?
July 22, 20186 yr Very impressive alternate model! Do you have plans to make instructions? I would volunteer to help. In fact I already started to rebuild it in LDD from the photos. Edited August 1, 20186 yr by Nequmodiva File paths changes
November 28, 20186 yr Fantastic C model. Great use of panels including stickers. How many parts are left from the original model ? BTW, your liftgate truck was also really clverly designed. Thanks for sharing with us.

February 23, 20196 yr User Rain568 has posted a ldd file on rebrickable : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-21418/Rain568/42078-mobile-crane/#comments It's a rebuild based on photos and videos from Dyen's model so I'm not sure if it matches perfectly the original creation. Actually, it's a rather big moc, so building from ldd may be cumbersome at some point. Hope someone may end up creating real pdf instructions for that one. I know it's a huge task so I'm not begging for BTW.

Really wondering if he has discussed this with the designer or if he's just making money from other people's work.

I apologize to everyone that my instructions aren't finished yet, but I have a lot to do with other things. When I have time I prefer to build new models than creating instructions ...
