Alasdair Ryan Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 If you put string on the back bottom of the last section,this goes underneath the whole boomand tied to a bush with a axle though it.then another bit of string is tied to the back bottom of the last section but this bit goes though the inside of the boom and then is tied to a bush and a axle.No gears needed. This is how i did it on my tele truck. Quote
grohl Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 It makes no big difference. I still have to use my hands to extend it. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I just though it might be nicer. Edited January 1, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
Povl H. Pedersen Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 The trike rider is just great. I favorite. Iris simple, and has actions just by moving it. And movements very lifelike. If I just had the bricks.... This is an inspiration, for non-Lego lovers as well Quote
Ramacco Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 All your MOCs are amazing! Keep it up Grohl!! :thumbup: Quote
TechnicJuan Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Grohl, you are a real inspiration to AFOL around the globe. Quote

grohl Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Here is finally my 3rd (and worst) 8052 alternate model. Futuristic Truck inspired by Steinwinter I just wanted to make something that can move autonomously. The result is not exactly what I expected it to be. Functions: Truck- working steering motorized RWD opening doors Trailer - opening rear doors raising legs via 1 LA Edited February 13, 2012 by grohl Quote
ciken Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 i like the truck but i don't like the trailer Quote
grohl Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 One more MOC that has been waiting a long time for the video to be edited (NERO support team is more relaxed than Jamaican Marijuana smokers ) IMP My third attempt to build something fast. Propulsion 2xM motor Steering 1xM motor with return to center Opening bonnet and trunk Weight 530g including Speed Computer Not bad, but Carrod was more agile, Barracuda faster. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I hate technic cars am not into technic cars ,but i would say it needs a spoiler at the back. Edited February 14, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
rumpletump Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Amazing what some people can think up... Good work Quote

DLuders Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Cool! Are you going to make a video of it in action? They don't have firefighting vehicles like it in the USA.... Quote
grohl Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 Sure I am, as soon as I solve the problems with the video editing software I use. During my research on this vehicle I found information that one SPOT-55 is on JFK's Airport in New york but did not check if it is true. Quote
timslegos Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I have never seen one myself. maybe they use them in California where there has been several bad forest fires recently. looks cool anyway! Cant wait for the video. tim Quote
grohl Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Here are sme more pics of the SPOT My link And finally video and pictures of my 8052 Mobile Crane Functions: Steering Opening doors Stabilizers Rotating superstructure Raising 3-section boom Working winch Edited March 6, 2012 by grohl Quote
DLuders Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 @ Grohl: Your new alternate for the 8052 set looks great! On your Facebook page, you wrote several weeks ago that you needed to get "permission" before posting it. From whom did you need to get permission -- The Lego Group? Why? Quote

You will have to wait to see the model we are talking about. Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Grohl, I love your work. You've got some fantastic models! I really like your Harrier, and I also found a really nice Sukhoi (I think) fighter over on TB that I believe you built. You have built some really nice planes. Quote
Tomik Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I really like this blue crane built out of set 8052. I also have few ideas for alternates from this set but no time to begin building... Quote
