This is exactly what I would use if I were building this model. ... I am waiting for more news!

Thanks for the praise, it really felt like jigsaws falling into place when I changed the midsection. Currently, I am working on the cab and sideskirts. I added a little mechanism to fix the cab in place while driving, which helps big time when steering with the 2 steering knobs for forward and backward movement. Not sure how to do the railing right now... 1 stud wide tubes feel to big, axles are strange to connect and hardly available in white and rigid hoses feel to loose... *sigh* :D Quote

It keeps the railing quite slim. Or use minifig hands to connect railings together. Quote

The connection is still somewhat weak in my opinion, but the rigid tubes looking way better, thanks :-) As I knew before, the front will be a hell of panel-work, but unavoidable. Right now, I prefer the solution without the flex axle, what you guys think? Edited January 2 by Jundis Quote
1gor Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Is it possible to make comparisson with bent liftarm at the ftont to see if bending angle is nearly similar or a way off... ...or angle connectors could help? Quote

I changed the pic, but the original is not perfectly from the side, so it looks longer. Maybe I put the lime 1x5 curved back 1/2 stud. As there is a 2 colour scheme, i could not use the long 3x11 panel. Connectors look to sharp, I tried em :-/ Quote

I think building it from angle connectors would be best, you cant guarantee the flex axle stays at the shape you want without more pieces holding it in place. Quote
Dafgek81 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 An option with system elements an idea. Looks still very rough. With system elements you can make it smoother I think. Quote
