Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) One thing I really like in Technicopedia is the groups of models in the same categories. They demonstrate how Technic models have evolved over time, and how different building techniques are used to create the same type of model. One deficiency of the groups, though, is that they don't take B models into account. And since Technicopedia has come to a stop, the updates in the groups stop too. So I decided to start this thread. It is intended for a number of reasons: - Sharing model comparison pictures. And not just models, but subassemblies also. As demonstrated below, I'll share the comparison between various undercarriages. - Browsing and requesting model comparison pictures. - Charting the evolution of Technic models. And since I own a number of B models in addition to A models, I can meet some requests related to B models as well. I take pictures with my phone, so they are not of the highest quality. And I don't have specialized plain background, so a number of objects may find themselves in the pictures. Please excuse me for that. Besides, if there is any other angle that you guys want to see, please request. Edited September 8, 2020 by Ngoc Nguyen Quote
TeamThrifty Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I'm surprised the RTC looks as big as it does next to BWE... Surprised in a good way, i like a whopper! Very interesting pictures. Still love BWE, amazing set. Got RTC, but its wrapped up waiting for xmas!!! Quote
BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Wow, 42082 is bigger than I thought. I'm not pleased that you put the 42054 chassis through hell like that. Anyways, can't wait to see more of these! (Especially for big sets) Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 5, 2018 Author Posted October 5, 2018 Tracked undercarriage comparisons. From 42055, 42042, and 8043. I don't have a 42006. Wheeled undercarriage comparisons. From 42082, 42054, and 42053. Wheeled excavator undercarriage (42053) vs Tracked excavator undercarriage (8043) Quote
Yevhen Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Great topic! May you compare 8043 and 42053 assembled? Edited October 5, 2018 by Yevhen Quote

Akbalder Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I didn't thought that the 42082 was that big. The critics about its number of pieces for its size don't seem justified. Quote
letsbuild Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 How does 42056 and 42083 compare in sizes? Quote

Seasider Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 15 hours ago, letsbuild said: How does 42056 and 42083 compare in sizes? Both are 1:8 scale and both cars are similar size in real life. The Porsche has a slightly higher roofline and I think the Bugatti may be slightly wider Quote

Carefree_Dude Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I really appreciate these comparisons Quote
gamebei Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I always enjoy seeing pictures that compare sets or mocs side by side. Moreover, it could be even better to do that in digital tools, so that you can have the comparison under any angle, with perspective or orthographic cameras Quote
Carefree_Dude Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Any chance you could do a comparison of the two volvo loaders? I'd love to see the RC one and the "Automated one" (which should be RC or at least have pnematics) side by side. Quote

With a cameo from another lesser-known loader. Quote

I have a separate 42053 for the B model. My copy of the 42081 will arrive in two weeks. You can expect pictures at the end of this month. Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 Bad boy ZEUX arrived yesterday. I didn't intend to compare ZEUX with RTC, but since RTC is on display on the table, I think some side-by-side shots would be interesting. More comparisons coming soon. And of course 42030 vs 42081 is a must. Quote
aeh5040 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Moreover, the RTC works much better than the BWE. I think they are both amazing models, but BWE is just on the edge of what's possible, while RTC is robust and playable. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) 42030 vs 42081 1. Basic positions 2. Normal pose 42030 vs Provocative, seductive pose 42081 Edited October 25, 2018 by Ngoc Nguyen Quote
Carefree_Dude Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Wow, the two loaders side by side look great! I think I prefer the old loader as a model (especially since my son likes to play with it) but I love the details on the Zeux! I have the Claas wheels on my RC Volvo loader, and they look really good on it. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) 42030 vs 42081 continued 3. Highest arm position In the highest positions, 42081 bucket can tilt backwards, while 42030 one can not. 4. Lowest arm position Edited October 25, 2018 by Ngoc Nguyen Quote
