42114 - 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Since the cement mixer is in dark blue I think that's Markus's set for 2020. This set is basically 42070 in yellow so it makes more sense to give it to Uwe.

I think the joint connecting the cab to the dump bed will definitely give 42114 better suspension.

Out of curiosity is there a way to find out who have designed the Technic sets last couple of years? Would be interesting to know if I have, without knowing it, bought more sets designed by a specific person compare to others. :)

Details on the stickers can clue you in. The most obvious set from this year is 42108; the "OK" markings give the designer away as Olav Kroigaard, who also designed 42082 and 42094 from the last couple of years. 42097 was Alfred Pedersen, going by the '98-'18 on the boom, which is how long he'd been at TLG.

OK is also used by Milan Reindl, as these are the official Czech aircraft markings. Found on both 42040 and 42052, IIRC.

Are there pictures already?

Debating on who designed what set according to the color of the set, wow, it's been a while I didn't read such BS.

Thanks for that. It was refreshing.

Olav's OK is often followed by 420 to specify it's him.

The sarcasm smells strong with this one.

42114 looks like a Uwe job. His designs are quite blunt and beam-based, with panels only used where there would be no other choice.

What was your first clue ?

Is that this part that holds the curved panels in front ?

That's what I was thinking too.

[Amoreternum]

Sure looks like it. 

Gorgeous vehicle from what can be seen, not a technic guy but I'm happy for those who are!

[Polarlicht]

Looking good. Two diagonal panels next to each other (don't know how they are called) in the dump bed are interesting.

[Andman]

I'll definitely order black wheels to get the illusion of bigger tyres. This picture still doesn't give hints about the rear suspension. Can't wait to see what they have done there.

[Gimmick]

Did they use multiple 2L black pins instead of single 3L blue pins? :O

What is going on with Lego?

Edit: pins with half length in orange?

Yes. I just realised this is a good option to build an 11x8 panel instead of combining 5x11 or 3x11 panels and beams!

Looking at the new photo I am worried that there is no suspension on rear axles ( if I was a designer I would show it on the catalogue). At least we can improve it...

Really hope so - we need that back in yellow (and DBG).

Get off this forum, then!

This would be an instant buy for me if the cab and dumping bed proportions weren't so awkward. But maybe they look better in person...

I feel like those will be the first things somebody fixes and won't stop me from getting this set. It does look a little goofy and I can't quite put my finger on it, probably because we've only got (now) 2 blurry pictures of it at an awkward forward-quarter angle, and the 2nd one shows the bed rolled so we can't even make out the relative height of the bed vs cab. The latest image does appear to show the bed rolled and the steering articulated at the same time, so that's pretty cool.
