DLuders Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 On his website, Han recently posted many pictures and a detailed description of his Lego Technic Articulated Hauler 6x6.

ReflectioN Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Looking very good, as usual with Han's models. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Han made a great job of the dumper as you can expect. Quote
Anton Ymer Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Very nice! Excellent performance. I really like the neat belly and the way the motor works as an original motorblock. Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Another mindblowin MOC by a very talented designer. I'll be looking foreward to instructions. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Another mindblowin MOC by a very talented designer. I'll be looking foreward to instructions. I think he is hoping to have the instrutions ready with in 3 months. Quote
Darth Dino Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Hi could please someone bricklink me the tires that have been used on this impressive MOC? In the close future i will start with a 4axis truck and i do not know which to buy. I firstly thought on the Unimog tires o the powerpuller ones, but these are also nice looking. Dino Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 If i must make a guess it would be the tyres from the 8466... Quote

jorgeopesi Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) If i must make a guess it would be the tyres from the 8466... I don´t think so, I think they are the tyres from 8297. Edited September 14, 2011 by jorgeopesi Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 you're right! it must have been wishful thinking. Quote
Darth Dino Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Hi thank you. Powerpuller and 8466 Offroader had the same tires except the printing right? I really like those black rims that have been used here. Dino Quote
Milan Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Powerpuller and 8466 Offroader had the same tires except the printing right? Yes. Powerpuller ones are also harder to find. Quote
designer-han Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 BI ready and published on my site. For those who want to rebuild the model, enjoy! For everyone: Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2012! Quote
DLuders Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Thanks, Han! Merry Christmas to you too! May Santa bring you many presents! Are you going to add your Articulated Hauler to http://www.Rebrickable.com/mocs , to join the MOCs by many other accomplished Lego Technic builders? Edited December 18, 2011 by DLuders Quote
jorgeopesi Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2012 for you too! and thank you for a fantastic MOC and instructions, I love your designs!. Quote
Rijkvv Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Happy Christmas Han! On your site, I can't find the instructions. Or am I not patient enough? Quote
designer-han Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 @Richie, There just there at the last section of the Articulated Hauler page, it's a WINrar file containing all the pdf files. Quote
Rijkvv Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 That's strange. Internet Explorer shows your updated site, while Firefox don't. That's the reason why I couldn't find your instructions. Thanks for your effort for creating these fantastic instructions! Quote
Blakbird Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 BI ready and published on my site. For those who want to rebuild the model, enjoy! Wanted to mention that I have just finished building this model. As always, the instructions are top notch. The model is even better though. I expected to be great because that's what we have come to expect from Han. The suspension is really amazing and I just had to mess with it and stare at its motion for hours. The motorization works amazingly well. Finally, the model looks incredible. You can tell that from the pictures of course, but you can't tell just how massive it is. I've included a couple of pictures for scale. This thing dwarfs any of the official LEGO haulers, and even looks huge on my "truck wall". (That is one ugly minifig.....) Quote
jorgeopesi Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Cool collection man!, so many bricks to build things . Quote
timslegos Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Cool collection man!, so many bricks to build things . I know i would love to build the creation but i dont have the pieces :( tim Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Is there a plate that seams not connected right on the bonnet? Quote
Blakbird Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Is there a plate that seams not connected right on the bonnet? No, that is just an artifact of some SNOT. The slopes above it are attached sideways. Quote
Traktor Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 How did you get the parts, and how much did it cost? I would really like to get this "set" and many other of Han's creation, but it just seams imposible or at least very expensive to acquire all the parts needed. And by the way, it is a very impressive collection you have there Blakbird. I hope mine will become that big one day. Quote
