That is some kind of a truck, maybe a mini 42129?

Soon!

Looking at your posts within the last two months in this thread, I have to say that I would prefer a slight change in procedure:

If you have something interesting (admittedly, you often had!) and you are willing to share it, then simply do it. We will look at it and appreciate it.

But if you don't want to share it, then simply do not.

I have creations that are finalized only on Studio and have not been actually tested. I need to order the parts and test build and go back to fix problems before actually revealing. There's a high chance that what I have on Studio is not the final version, and I don't wanna share something that is not finalized.

The last time I did that was the mini 42113 and mini 42082, and I was not prepared for the massive headaches that followed. For the mini 42113, in the original design the landing gears didnt work reliably, and the rotor tilting barely worked at all. I felt quite ashamed of publicizing something that has not been tested to work reliably.

And currently I have like 6-7 things waiting to be test built, so it might take a while.

To accomodate your request, here's one interesting thing in full.

You got me!

Not sure if soon, but just gonna drop it nonetheless!

I still don't see the point in posting some random and vacuous tiny section of a MOC which isn't more than a draft and might be completed sometime in the far future (if at all).

But others will, I hope.

If it's posted in here, then its first design phase is already complete. There's already a complete creation and there's already an instruction file for it. I don't post things that might not be finalized.

But I want the creation to be test built before officially revealing it. During that time some things might change, maybe minor, maybe major, hopefully not major. That means the final thing that is published might not be the same design right now, and in most case it isn't. That's why I don't want to share the full thing. 

Also it's just for a little bit of teasing for fun. Lately I only do mini replicas of official set, and it's not hard to deduce what I designed based on the snippets.

people on this forum really need to learn to appreciate and enjoy the process of designing and building a MOC - I thought most of the enjoyment of technic was everything leading up to the final product
